Trial summary

This is a post-market study of a cleared biopsy system. The quality of tissue cores varies with standard of care biopsy needles. The SureCore Plus biopsy system is being evaluated as to quality and volume of tissue from prostate biopsy as compared to standard of care biopsy needles. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of a Soft Tissue Biopsy System for Trans-rectal and Trans-perineal Biopsy of the Prostate Using Standard of Care and Artificial Intelligence (AI) Analysis

This is a post-market study of a cleared biopsy system. The quality of tissue cores varies with standard of care biopsy needles. The SureCore Plus biopsy system is being evaluated as to quality and volume of tissue from prostate biopsy as compared to standard of care biopsy needles.

Read the detailed description

Biopsy sampling of the prostate using TRUS or TPPB guidance is the current SoC approach for diagnosis of prostate cancer (CaP). Over the past decades the number of samples required and considered adequate has risen from 6 to 12-18 and sometimes as many as 30. Many practices routinely sample up to 20 cores of tissue. The SureCore Plus biopsy system is being to sample, obtain and retrieve prostate biopsy specimens in men undergoing scheduled diagnostic prostate biopsy and compare it with an standard of care (SoC) biopsy instrument and SoC method of specimen retrieval.

What participants receive

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

  • Evaluation of two biopsy systemsDevice

    Each subject will have prostate biopsy taken in 6 locations in one lobe of the prostate and then biopsy in 6 locations in the other lobe of the prostate

What is being measured

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

  1. Procedure success

    > 3 mm/cc of tissue collected in each biopsy

    Measured: During the procedure

  2. Quality of biopsy tissue

    Ranking by pathologist on scale of 0=unable to read to 5=all tissue complete for reading. The higher scores mean a better outcome.

    Measured: During the procedure

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Performance of the study device

    Ranking by MD using scale of 1=difficult to use to 5=outperformed SOC needles. The higher scores equate to better outcome.

    Measured: During the procedure

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Evaluation of two biopsy systems in people with BPH, run by Uro-1 Medical.

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 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 13 Aug 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?

Contact Jeffrey Proctor, MD (770 607 1893, jproctor@georgiaurology.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Procedure success (time frame: During the procedure). 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?
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 13 Aug 2024.
