Trial summary

Transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy (TRUS-Bx) is the gold standard method for prostat cancer diagnosis. Cancer detection rate is an important issue in TRUS-Bx. Effective biopsy protocol is necessary to enhance cancer detection rate during the procedure. Read more about this study

About this study

Transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy (TRUS-Bx) is the gold standard method for prostat cancer diagnosis. Cancer detection rate is an important issue in TRUS-Bx. Effective biopsy protocol is necessary to enhance cancer detection rate during the procedure. Patient tolerance may improve the protocol effectiveness and quality.

Adequate patient tolerance with optimal local anesthesia may enhance cancer detection rate in TRUS-Bx.

Read the detailed description

In transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy ultrasound's probe manipulation is necessary for effective biopsy. Patient discomfort and pain frequently occurs with manipulation of probe during transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy and this situation may qualify of the achievement of this procedure.

In this study, we aimed to describe the impact of different two local anesthesia types on cancer detection rate in transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy.

Being tested
intrarectal lidocaine gel, periprostatic nerve blockade
Keywords
prostate biopsy, local anesthesia, cancer detection rate.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing intrarectal lidocaine gel and periprostatic nerve blockade in people with Adenocarcinoma of Prostate, run by Bagcilar Training and Research Hospital at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 18 Jan 2018. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

cancer detection rate with anesthesia type (time frame: finally pathologic evaluation within 2-3 weeks). 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 18 Jan 2018.
