Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in PSA Level From Baseline

    To assess the impact of ciprofloxacin on the change in PSA from baseline/randomization to prostate biopsy which occurs 21-45 days after randomization. Due to the skewness of the data, the log transformation was used and the outcome used was the log(PSA level post-treatment, at time of biopsy) - log(PSA level baseline).

    At baseline and 21-45 days after randomization

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Overall Infectious Complication Rate Following Prostate Biopsy

    Within 24 hours of biopsy

Study Arms (2)

Observation

NO INTERVENTION

Observation only for 2 weeks

Antibiotic

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Ciprofloxacin 500 mg twice daily for 2 weeks

Drug: Ciprofloxacin

Interventions

Also known as: Cipro
Antibiotic
