About this study

Official title: MR/TRUS Fusion Guided Prostate Biopsy- An Improved Way To Detect And Quantify Prostate Cancer

This study will determine if targeted (Magnetic Resonance (MR) / Ultrasound (US) fusion biopsy) plus conventional biopsy is superior to conventional biopsy alone in diagnosing subjects with prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

The efficacy of targeting lesions for surgery may be limited by the visibility of a target during the procedure. The successful outcome of surgical intervention depends upon accurate device placement, which may be very challenging in certain settings, such as when a kidney tumor only is visible for a brief moment during the transient arterial phase of a contrast injection, and soon disappearing on dynamic imaging.

Historically, prostate cancer was diagnosed by digitally guided trans-rectal prostate biopsies. With PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) screening and improvements in ultrasonography, trans-rectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided prostate biopsy have become the standard of care to screen and diagnose localized prostate cancer. Standard US 12-14 core prostate biopsy is now common practice, detecting cancer in 27% to 44% of patients.

Prostate MR imaging at 3 Tesla magnet dramatically improves diagnostic utility dramatically but biopsies are difficult, time-consuming, and require specialized equipment, which increases the cost significantly.

To meet this challenge TRUS images are overlaid on a previously obtained prostate MRI, combined with an electromagnetic tracking system. The urologist then performs directed prostate biopsies at MR-identified targets in addition to the standard prostate biopsies.

This study will consist of comparison of the standard of care prostate biopsy with the protocol biopsy which consists of a US guided prostate biopsy and a MR/US fusion tracked prostate biopsy. Each patient will act as their own control.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence of Prostate Cancer

    Incidence of diagnosing subjects with prostate cancer with MR visible lesions

    Measured: Day 0 - day of procedure

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Incidence of adverse events

    the incidence of adverse events occurring after a targeted and ultrasound guided prostate biopsy

    Measured: 1 month

  2. Pirads score

    The Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PIRADS) score classifies MRI lesions on a scale from 1 to 5, which reflects their level of suspicion from least to most. Higher score indicates more suspicion.

    Measured: 1 month

  3. Gleason score

    The Gleason Score ranges from 1-5 and describes how much the cancer from a biopsy looks like healthy tissue (lower score) or abnormal tissue (higher score). Sum of the gleason grade of the most predominant tumor pattern and a second gleason grade of the second most predominant pattern. Full score from 2 to 10, with higher score indicating more clinically significance.

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing prostate biopsy, MR US Fusion Guided Prostate Biopsy and MR/TRUS Fusion Guided Prostate Biopsy in people with Prostate Disease and Elevated Prostate Specific Antigen, run by Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai at 1 site in United States.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jul 2019. 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 States. 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?

Contact Ardeshir Rastinehad, DO (212-241-4812, art.rastinehad@mountsinai.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of Prostate Cancer (time frame: Day 0 - day of procedure). 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 NCT04026763, 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 19 Jul 2019.
