Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The study will include all participants who have performed a fusion biopsy with RMmp of the prostate in the period between the beginning of use of this technique (September 2015) and March 2021 whose images are available on RIS-PACS of the IRCCS University Hospital of Bologna will be included in the study . The sample size considered sufficient is 120 patients, of which 90 will be used for method development and 30 will be used as validation group. The latter will be used to evaluate how generalizable the results of the study are to the population, to avoid overestimating the model's capabilities in evaluating it on the same patients on which it was developed.

Who may be able to join

  • Presence of one or more lesions classified as PI-RADSv2.1 ≥ 3 at a prostate RMmp at the IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria in Bologna
  • Indication for eco-guided targeted biopsy by fusion technique integrated with systematic biopsy
  • Indication for radical prostatectomy
  • Participants aged 18 at the time of examination
  • Obtaining informed consent.

Who cannot join

  • Impossibility of performing MRI (claustrophobic or obese participants etc.) or contraindications to the execution of MRI
  • Technically sub-optimal investigations for the presence of artifacts (hip prosthesis, movement of the endorectal probe, etc.)

About this study

Official title: Assessment of the Distribution of ADC Values and Radiometric Characteristics of Suspect Areas With a Multiparametric MRI of the Prostate to Identify Clinically Significant Neoplastic Lesions

The goal of this observational study is to assess the chance to predict prostate cancer with the analysis of specific values found in images obtained from RMmp (multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging) of patients who went through the procedure at IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria hospital in the city of Bologna from September 2015 to March 2021.

The main question it aims to answer is:

  • does the analysis of ADC values and radiomics values found in the RMmp images help with the detection of prostate cancer?
Read the detailed description

The radiologist involved in this observational study will enroll the participants, collect their informed consent and radiological data.

The urologist will collect the clinical data while the Anatomo-pathologist will take care of the hystological data.

The ADC values of the suspected lesions and healthy parenchyma will be extracted from the MR exams. For the evaluation of radiometric characteristics, images will first be de-identified, the downloaded and processed by the hospital's medical physicists.

The engineers at the University of Bologna, led by medical investigators, will extract the radiomic characteristics All data will be anonymised and collected in a database shared between the collaborating operational units.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Distribution of ADC

    Evaluate the distribution of ADC values of the prostatic lesions cataloged according to the criteria PI-RADSv2.1 ≥ 3, comparing it with the distribution of ADC values of the healthy glandular tissue, to define a predictive threshold value for clinically significant neoplastic lesion.

    Measured: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prostate Cancer (Adenocarcinoma), run by IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna at 1 site in Italy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Jan 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Caterina Gaudiano, MD (+39 0515142307, caterina.gaudiano@aosp.bo.it), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Distribution of ADC (time frame: From enrollment to the end of treatment at 4 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Jan 2025.
