About this study

Official title: To Determine if MultiSpectral 3 Tesla MRI Can Provide Added Value in the Detection of Significant Cancers in Patients o n Active Surveillance for Prostate Cancer

MultiSpectral 3 Tesla MRI (MS3TMRI) can increase the yield of Trans Rectal Ultrasound Biopsy (TRUSBx) to improve identification of patients on active surveillance requiring treatment.

Read the detailed description

This is a prospective single arm study. 120 patients at risk for significant occult prostate cancer on an active surveillance program will undergo MS3TMRI followed by a standard TRUSBx and additional biopsies guided by the MS3TMRI results. The positive predictive value (PPV) of MS3TMRI-TRUSBx for cancer requiring consideration of therapy will be compared to the PPV of TRUSBx alone. MS3TMRI consists of T2, diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), dynamic contrast enhanced MRI (DCEMRI), proton MR spectroscopy (MRS) interpreted by a radiologist and by CAD methods validated on whole mount prostate specimens.

Diagnostic: Single ArmOtherImaging (MS3TMRI)
Receives: Other: MS3TMRI

What is being measured

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

  1. The Positive Predictive Value (PPV) of MS3TMRI-TRUSBx for detection of a patient with a cancer burden requiring consideration of immediate therapy.

    Compare the targeted biopsy to the random biopsies

    Measured: The outcome measure will be evaluated at the time of the results of the TRUSbx which will be approximately 2 weeks after the biopsy

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The number of cores required for diagnosis of prostate cancer for MS3TMRI-TRUSBx versus TRUSBx alone

    Measured: The outcome measure will be evaluated at the time of the results of the TRUSbx which will be approximately 2 weeks after the biopsy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MS3TMRI in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre 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?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 5 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 11 Jul 2013. 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?

The Positive Predictive Value (PPV) of MS3TMRI-TRUSBx for detection of a patient with a cancer burden requiring consideration of immediate therapy. (time frame: The outcome measure will be evaluated at the time of the results of the TRUSbx which will be approximately 2 weeks after the biopsy). 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 11 Jul 2013.
