NCT02828839

Brief Summary

The objective of the study is to assess the design features of a modified stainless steel access needle (single use disposable) in a clinical setting and a disposable, single use, custom-made, polymer needle guide used in conjunction with a rectal ultrasound probe. The disposable stainless steel access needle may be used with or without the disposable needle guide, but will always be used with ultrasound image guidance and a biopsy gun. The primary purpose of the single-use disposable access needle is to guide the use of a biopsy gun to obtain a tissue sample from the patient's prostate gland through a percutaneous puncture of the perineum. The primary purpose of the disposable needle guide is to stabilize the needle biopsy and better approximate the most direct path to the prostate.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Assessment of the handling characteristics of the access needle and needle guide.

    Assessment of the handling characteristics of the single use, disposable stainless steel access needle and the single use, disposable polymeric needle guide will be completed by the user completing a questionnaire rating various performance characteristics of the access needle and the needle guide at the completion of each prostate biopsy. Using a scale from 1 to 5, with 1 being poor and 5 being excellent, each characteristic of the access needle and the needle will be rated. The results will be summarized across all characteristics and reported as percentages of each rating scale indicator, 1 through 5.

    The time point at which this will be measured is at the end of the prostate biopsy procedure up to 30 days through study completion.

Study Arms (1)

Treatment Arm

EXPERIMENTAL

Subjects will receive standard of care prostate biopsies through the use of a trans-rectal ultrasound probe for needle placement and guidance. The intervention for all patients receiving a prostate biopsy will include the use of an investigational single use, disposable stainless steel access needle and a single use, disposable polymeric needle guide.

Procedure: Access needle

Interventions

Access needlePROCEDURE

The primary purpose of the single-use disposable access needle is to guide the use of a biopsy gun to obtain a tissue sample from the patient's prostate gland through a percutaneous puncture of the perineum. The primary purpose of the disposable needle guide is to stabilize the needle biopsy and better approximate the most direct path to the prostate.
