About this study

Official title: Detection and Localization of Prostate Cancer Local Recurrences After Radiation Therapy Using Histoscanning™ and Multiparametric MRI

Inclusion criteria:

  • Patients with biochemical recurrence (Phoenix criteria: PSA nadir + 2 ng/ml) after radiation therapy for prostate cancer addressed for prostate biopsy OR
  • Patients referred to our institution for biopsy-proven local recurrence after radiation therapy for prostate cancer but needing a re-assessment with biopsy (insufficient number of biopsy and/or imprecise location of positive biopsy and/or questionable diagnostic of recurrence)

Study Design:

  • Included patients will undergo an endorectal US examination with a Histoscanning™ acquisition and a multiparametric (T2-weighted, diffusion-weighted and dynamic contrast-enhanced) MRI.
  • Two independent operators will separately define suspicious focal lesion on Histoscanning™ images and on MR images.
  • Random biopsies (at least 2 cores) will be performed in sextants negative at Histoscanning™ and at MRI ; In sextants positive at Histoscanning™ and/or at MRI, targeted biopsies will be performed in the suspicious part of the sextant (at least two cores per suspicious lesion).
  • Histoscanning™ and MRI results will be compared to biopsy results.

A total of 30 patients will be included

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of Histoscanning™ after radiation therapy in comparison to random and targeted biopsy.

    Histoscanning and biopsy findings will be compared on a sextant by sextant basis. A mixed effects logistic regression model (with fixed and random effects) will be used to model the sensitivity and specificity of Histoscanning to correctly identify the presence or absence of cancer into prostate sextants.

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Histoscanning™ and multiparametric MRI in people with Prostate Cancer Recurrent, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon at 1 site in France.

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 2 inclusion and 4 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 3 Sep 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 France. 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?

Evaluation of Histoscanning™ after radiation therapy in comparison to random and targeted biopsy. (time frame: 1 day). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01857037, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 3 Sep 2025.
