About this study

Official title: Capture of Prostatic Trans-rectal Ultrasound Scans for Research Into Improved Targeted Biopsy Techniques (CAPTURE)

Through this study the investigators seek to build up a repository of prostate ultrasonography videos and prostate MRI scans to enable research into novel anatomical registration techniques. These data will facilitate the development of improved technology that enables targeting of tumours seen on MRI using free-hand biopsy techniques, without the need for a gantry or overlaid perineal grid.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to explore whether mathematical and computational modelling techniques can be used to enable anatomical based real-time image registration for guiding prostate biopsies. This would lead to the ability to perform free-hand trans-perineal biopsy without the need for supporting gantries or a biopsy grid placed over the perineum. This will significantly decrease costs of trans-perineal biopsy, reduce the number of puncture sites through the perineal skin - reducing pain and bleeding - and reduce the procedure time. Alongside locally developed local-anaesthetic transperineal biopsy techniques it will allow targeted biopsy to be taken in the outpatient setting, improving patient convenience, and helping health services to meet growing demands on targeted biopsies.

The investigators aim to create a new method of mapping the prostate using free-hand ultrasound, without any additional physical equipment. This may require collaborations with approved International groups with particular skills in relevant mathematical or engineering techniques.

What is being measured

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

  1. Prostate size

    Ultrasound images and videos of the prostate will be captured to measure the length, width and depth of the prostate on ultrasound. The measurements will be in millimeters (mm). This will be taken at a single time-point at the time of general anaesthesia for transperineal biopsy.

    Measured: Years 1-5

  2. Prostate location

    Ultrasound images and videos of the prostate will be captured to assess prostate location relative to surrounding structures. Specifically this will mean measuring the distance from the anal verge to the prostate. Unit of measurment is millimeters (mm). This will be taken at a single time-point at the time of general anaesthesia for transperineal biopsy.

    Measured: Years 1-5

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Transrectal ultrasound scan of prostate in people with Prostate Cancer and Prostate Neoplasm, run by Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 3 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: paused, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jul 2020. 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 United Kingdom. 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?

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?

Prostate size (time frame: Years 1-5). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 10 Jul 2020.
