Patients will be recruited from the University Health Network (UHN). Eligible patients will be undergoing radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer at UHN. Patients with a contraindication to MRI or MRI contrast agents, claustrophobia, renal failure, allergy to MRI contrast agents, or prior hormonal therapy or radiation therapy for prostate cancer, a biopsy within 3 weeks of the surgical date or active prostatitis will be excluded.

About this study

The purpose of this study is to determine the ability of functional MRI techniques to detect, measure and locate intra-prostatic cancer.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to determine the ability of functional MRI techniques [High Resolution Dynamic Contrast Enhanced MRI (HR-DCE-MRI), diffusion weighted MRI (DWI) and BOLD MRI] to detect, measure and locate intra-prostatic cancer. 70 patients undergoing MRI for staging of prostate cancer prior to radical prostatectomy will be studied. Results of MRI obtained prior to surgery will be correlated with pathologic specimens to determine MRI accuracy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MRI Prostate in people with Prostate Cancer, run by University Health Network, Toronto at 1 site in Canada.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Apr 2017. 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 Canada. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Extent and Grade of Prostate Cancer Using MRI (time frame: Imaging followed by pathology analysis). 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 26 Apr 2017.
