About this study

A randomized clinical trial conducted by Oslo University Hospital between 2010 and 2012 included 438 patients with prostate cancer to the non-MRI group (216) or the MRI group (222) before robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RALP). The primary endpoint was to compare the nerve-sparing surgery types and the proportion of positive surgical margins (PSM) in each group. The MRI group underwent more non-nerve sparing surgery, whereas the proportion of PSM was similar in both groups (p=0.4) [1]. Since the long-term effects of preoperative MRI are unknown, we aimed to assess the variations in the long-term functional and oncological outcomes between the groups.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this study was to evaluate the oncological and functional outcomes in a 12-year follow-up after RALP in patients preoperatively randomized to no-MRI or MRI.

Material: a total of 438 consecutive patients were referred to RALP. Of these, 222 were randomized to preoperative MRI (intervention group), and 216 were randomized to no MRI (control group). All underwent radical prostatectomy between 2010 and 2012.

Study design: An experimental interventional study with 12-years follow-up

Endpoints: PSA recurrence (PSA ≥0.2ng/ml) Predictors for PSA recurrence (PSM, DÁmico risk group, Gleason score, T-stage) Overall survival (OS) Predictors for OS (PSM, DÁmico risk group, Gleason score, T-stage) MRI predictors for PSM, PSA recurrence and OS

Erectile function (IEEF-5) and urinary continence (IPSS-10) Urinary incontinence rates (≥1daily pads)

Statistics: Before RALP, included patients were randomized to the i) non-MRI group and ii) MRI-group. Kaplan Meier curves express the RFS and OS in the two groups, and the Log-rank test assesses any difference. Cox regression analyses is used to calculate the effect of MRI (Hazard ratios with 95% CIs). Chi-square test is used to assess the difference in incontinence rates, and the Mann-Whitney U test for assessing the difference in median IIEF-5 and IPSS-10 scores. Binary and Cox regression analysis is used to assess the predictive value of a positive surgical margin on PSA recurrence, and the effect of MRI variables in predicting RFS and OS (ADC, tumor volume, and radiological T-classification).

Data collection and handling of data: All patients were included in the study "Clinical impact of MRI in patients with prostate cancer." The urological and/or oncological clinic have followed these patients as part of routine clinical practice. Relevant clinical data are recorded in the "Radical prostatectomy registry ." All patients have already answered appropriate questionnaires during their regular follow-up.

PhD project: The study is a PhD project for radiologist Daniyal Noor at Oslo University Hospital

What is being measured

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

  1. Disease-free survival (DFS)

    The difference between patients randomized to MRI or no-MRI

    Measured: 12-years after surgery

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Overall survival (OS)

    The difference between patients randomized to MRI or no-MRI

    Measured: 12-years after surgery

  2. Erectile dysfunction

    The difference between patients randomized to MRI or no-MRI

    Measured: After 12 years

  3. The impact of the length of positive surgical margin and Gleason score upon DFS.

    Predictors for recurrence

    Measured: After 12 years

  4. The impact of MRI variables for predicting PSM, PSA recurrence and OS

    MRI predictors for recurrence

    Measured: After 12 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Biparametric prostatic MRI in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Oslo University Hospital.

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 1 inclusion and 2 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 28 May 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

Disease-free survival (DFS) (time frame: 12-years after surgery). 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 NCT06429878, 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 28 May 2024.
