About this study

Official title: MR-target Biopsy vs. TRUS-biopsy in Men With Suspicious Prostate Cancer: A Paired Cohort Study

This paired cohort blinded trial aims to assess the detection rate of clinically significant cancer of MRI-targeted biopsy compared to standard 12-core TRUS biopsy in men referred with clinical suspicion of prostate cancer who have had no prior prostate biopsy. The investigators hypothesize that additional MRI-targeted biopsy will detect more clinically significant cancers than standard TRUS biopsy.

Main objective: To compare MR-target vs. standard 12-cores TRUS-biopsy for the diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

Before prostate biopsy, all patients be preceded by mpMRI. The mpMRI is read by an experienced radiologist according to the PI-RADS version 2 scoring system. PI-RADS scoring system is used to assign a degree of doubt prostate cancer. Depending on the PI-RADS score, MR targeted biopsy is determined.

  1. MR-targeted biopsy using Artemis device fusion of MRI and ultrasound images would be performed. MR targeted biopsy would be performed by radiologist.
  2. Next conventional ultrasound-guided 12-core systematic biopsy would be performed by urologist. This portion will be performed without information of the MRI report.

What is being measured

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

  1. Proportion of clinically significant prostate cancer (≥Gleason score 3+4)

    Measured: 2 week after the procedure

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Proportion of clinically insignificant prostate cancer (Gleason score 6)

    Measured: 2 week after the procedure

  2. Proportion of men in whom mpMRI score (PI-RADS) for suspicion of clinically significant cancer was 3, 4 or 5

    Measured: 2 week after the procedure

  3. Correlation of prostate health index (Phi), phi density and MRI fusion Bx in predicting clinically significant prostate cancer

    Measured: 2 week after the procedure

  4. Cancer core length of the most involved biopsy core (maximum cancer core length, mm)

    Measured: 2 week after the procedure

  5. Proportion of men who go on to definitive local treatment or systemic treatment

    Measured: 2 week after the procedure

  6. Proportion of Gleason grade upgrading in men undergoing radical prostatectomy

    Measured: 2 week after the surgery

  7. Adverse events of post-biopsy (pain, infection, bleeding etc.)

    Measured: 2 week after the procedure

  8. Inter-observer variability among radiologists

    Measured: 2 week after the procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Artemia in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Asan Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 5 inclusion and 9 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 25 Mar 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 South Korea. 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 In Gab Jeong, MD, PhD (82-2-3010-5892, igjeong@amc.seoul.kr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Proportion of clinically significant prostate cancer (≥Gleason score 3+4) (time frame: 2 week after the procedure). 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 25 Mar 2020.
