About this study

Official title: A Retrospective Observational Study to Assess Prostate Cancer Detection Rate in Men Undergoing Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Comparison Between Subjects With Previous Negative Biopsy and Biopsy Naive Men

To assess prostate cancer (PCa) detection rate in men undergoing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before planning prostate biopsy. Results will be stratified considering men with/without previous negative prostate biopsy.

Secondary objective will be to compute the negative predictive value of MRI in subject with no lesion detected at imaging or no cancer confirmed at biopsy, considering a follow-up of at least 2 years.

Read the detailed description

The trial is a retrospective observational study, with the aim to compare two cohorts of patients with suspicion of PCa who will undergo MRI. Group A is composed by patients with previous negative biopsy, while group B is composed by men with no previous negative prostate biopsy.

To reach primary aim, men with positive MRI (clinically significant lesions with PI-RADS score >= 3) and biopsy data will be considered.

In men with negative MRI (clinically insignificant lesions or regions classified as PI-RADS 2 at MRI), follow-up with PSA data and repeated MRI and/or biopsy will be considered.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • multiparametric MRIDiagnostic test

    T1-w, T2-w, diffusion weighted and dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging

Study groups in NCT04398173
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Group A (previous negative biopsy)Men with clinical suspicion of PCa, previous negative prostate biopsy who underwent prostate MRI
Receives: Diagnostic Test: multiparametric MRI
Group B (biopsy naive)Men with clinical suspicion of PCa, no previous negative prostate biopsy who underwent prostate MRI
Receives: Diagnostic Test: multiparametric MRI

What is being measured

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

  1. PCa detection rate

    Number of men with positive prostate biopsy over the number of men with a positive MRI

    Measured: 24 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Negative predictive value of MRI

    Number of men with negative MRI or positive MRI but negative biopsy who are confirmed as negative for PCa during the follow-up over the total number of subjects considered during the follow-up

    Measured: 24 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prostatic Neoplasm, run by Fondazione del Piemonte per l'Oncologia at 1 site in Italy.

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 4 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 14 Apr 2021. 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 Italy. 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?

PCa detection rate (time frame: 24 months). 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 14 Apr 2021.
