NCT03234556

Brief Summary

This randomized phase II trial studies how well systematic random biopsy or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-ultrasound image (US) fusion biopsy work in diagnosing prostate cancer in patients with elevated prostate specific antigen. Systematic random biopsy and MRI-US fusion biopsy may work better in improving the accuracy of prostate cancer detection.

Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Biopsy detection rate of clinically significant prostate cancer

    Will code patients as having clinically significant prostate cancer if they are diagnosed with Gleason score \>= 7 or any Gleason score with core length \>= 5 mm or any Gleason score that includes Gleason pattern \>= 4 at initial systematic random biopsy.

    Up to 5 years

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Presence of any of the complications

    Up to 5 years

Other Outcomes (1)

  • Highest Gleason score

    Up to 5 years

Study Arms (2)

Arm I (SR-Bx)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients undergo SR-Bx. If SR-Bx doesn't reveal clinically significant cancer, then MRI will be done in 3 months, and if lesion is present (PIRADS ≥ 3) schedule for MRUS-Bx. If there is no lesion, then no biopsy. Schedule MRI in 12 months after the initial MRI.

Procedure: Biopsy of ProstateOther: Laboratory Biomarker AnalysisDiagnostic Test: Magnetic Resonance ImagingDiagnostic Test: MRI Ultrasound Fusion Guided Biopsy

Arm II (MRI, MRUS-Bx, SR-Bx)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients undergo MRI. Must be scheduled at least one day before MRUS biopsy. * If MRI shows no lesion present (PIRADS 1-2), then no MRUS-Bx. Schedule for SR-Bx only. * If MRI shows lesion present (PIRADS ≥ 3), perform MRUS-Bx, which will be done first and followed immediately by SR-Bx.

Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Written informed consent and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) authorization for release of personal health information
  • Note: HIPAA authorization may be included in the informed consent or obtained separately
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of =\< 1 within 3 months (93 days) prior to being registered for protocol
  • African-American or white men (Hispanic or non-Hispanic)
  • Prostate biopsy-naive or a single negative biopsy
  • Having elevated prostate specific antigen (PSA) (\> 2.5 ng/ml) and no palpable nodule on digital rectal exam (DRE)
  • Ability to understand the willingness to sign a written informed consent
  • Patients must be willing to undergo a radiologic imaging before and after biopsy of the prostate
  • Patients must be willing to undergo a biopsy of the prostate

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients who have had chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 12 months of the study for other diagnoses not related to prostate cancer
  • Patients receiving any other investigational agents
  • Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
  • Patients with active inflammatory bowel disease
  • Patients who are unable to undergo MRI
  • Patients who had any surgery of the prostate including TURP (transurethral resection of the prostate)
  • Patients who had \> 1 prior prostate biopsy
