About this study

Official title: Learning MRI and Histology Image Mappings for Cancer Diagnosis and Prognosis

Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) is now widely used to risk stratify men with a suspicion of prostate cancer and identify suspicious regions for biopsy. Advanced MRI techniques have emerged which seek to improve this characterisation and could predict biopsy results non-invasively before men undergo biopsy. Before these techniques are translated clinically, robust histological and clinical validation is required.

This study aims to clinically validate advanced MRI techniques in a cohort of men suspected with prostate cancer. Histological analysis of men undergoing biopsy, +/- prostatectomy will be used for biological validation of VERDICT; Vascular and Extracellular Restricted Diffusion for Cytometry in Tumours and Luminal Water imaging (LWI). In particular, prostatectomy specimens will be processed using 3-D printed patient-specific moulds to allow for accurate MRI and histology mapping.

Men suspected of Prostate CancerNot described
Receives: Diagnostic Test: VERDICT MRI; Diagnostic Test: Luminal Index Imaging

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnostic accuracy of VERDICT MRI

    Quantitative assessment of VERDICT MRI reduces false positives by 10% compared to standard MRI alone

    Measured: 2 years

  2. Diagnostic accuracy of Luminal Water Imaging (LWI)

    Quantitative assessment of LWI reduces false positives by 10% compared to standard MRI alone

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. The proportions of true positives with index tests is the same as mpMRI.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prostate Cancer and Prostate Neoplasm, run by University College, London 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 2 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 10 Mar 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 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?

Contact Joey Clemente (07886178028, j.clemente@nhs.net), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Diagnostic accuracy of VERDICT MRI (time frame: 2 years). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04792138, 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 10 Mar 2021.
