NCT06482645

Brief Summary

The goal of this multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of different prostate biopsy schemes, including perilesional/regional systematic biopsy (PB/RSB) and combination of systematic biopsy and targeted biopsy (TB+SB). The main questions it aims to answer are: Does PB/RSB promote the accurate diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer? What's the value of PB/RSB in improving the safety of prostate biopsy? Researchers will compare the cancer detection rates of PB/RSB and combination of TB+SB to explore the efficacy of different prostate biopsy schemes. They will evaluate the safety profile of different prostate biopsy schemes through the complication rates and postoperative quality of life. Participants will: Receive PB/RSB or TB+SB.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) detection rate for PB/RSB and TB+SB

    csPCa was defined as PCa with a grade group \> 2 or GS ≥ 7. The reference standard was the pathological result.

    One month after the biopsy procedure.

Secondary Outcomes (6)

  • The overall complication rate

    One month after the biopsy procedure.

  • The self-reported quality of life after the prostate biopsy

    One month after the biopsy procedure.

  • The operation time of prostate biopsy

    During the prostate biopsy procedure.

  • The PCa detection rate

    One month after the biopsy procedure.

  • The Gleason score (GS) of the biopsy sample

    One month after the biopsy procedure.

  • +1 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Perilesional/regional systematic biopsy (PB/RSB) group

EXPERIMENTAL

For each predefined mpMRI suspicious lesion, urologists obtained nine cores at 5-mm intervals within and around the region of interest (penumbra). The location of these nine cores depended on the shape and location of the suspicious lesion.

Procedure: Perilesional/regional systematic biopsy

Combination of systematic biopsy and targeted biopsy (TB+SB) group

EXPERIMENTAL

For patients in the TB+SB group, three to five targeted biopsies from the lesion were performed within and around the predefined mpMRI suspicious lesion, followed by fore-zone 12-core biopsy.

Procedure: Combination of systematic biopsy and targeted biopsy

Interventions

The biopsy procedure was conducted by a highly skilled and experienced urologist who specializes in performing prostate biopsies. Prophylactic antibiotics were routinely used both before and one day prior to scheduled surgery. Each patient was placed in the left lateral position or lithotomy position.

Perilesional/regional systematic biopsy (PB/RSB) group

The biopsy procedure was conducted by a highly skilled and experienced urologist who specializes in performing prostate biopsies. Prophylactic antibiotics were routinely used both before and one day prior to scheduled surgery. Each patient was placed in the left lateral position or lithotomy position. The ultrasound equipment used included a color Doppler ultrasound diagnostic instrument (Hitachi HiVision, Philips Epiq 7), transrectal probes, and corresponding puncture needle guns. Color Doppler examination was performed from the base to the apex. Three to five targeted biopsies from the lesion were performed within and around the predefined mpMRI suspicious lesion, followed by fore-zone 12-core biopsy.

Eligibility Criteria

Age45 Years - 85 Years
Sexmale
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • The age of the patient is between 45 and 85.
  • No previous biopsy.
  • Patients with single suspicious lesion, complete multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) data, qualified image quality control, suspicious lesions, and Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System version 2.1 (PI-RADS V2.1) of \> 3.
  • Patients were in accordance with the indication of prostate biopsy, including patients with suspicious prostate nodes found by digital rectal examination (DRE), the suspicious lesions found by transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) or MRI, total prostate-specific antigen (tPSA) \>10ng/mL, tPSA 4-10ng/mL with free-to-total PSA ratio (f/tPSA) \<0.16 or PSA density (PSAD) \>0.15.
  • The prostate biopsy pathological results were complete. The time interval between prostate biopsy and prostate mpMRI examination should not exceed one month.
  • Patients with complete clinical information.

You may not qualify if:

  • The mpMRI data was unqualified or incomplete.
  • Patients had received radiotherapy, chemotherapy, androgen deprivation therapy, or surgery treatment before prostate mpMRI examination or prostate biopsy.
  • Patients with previous biopsy.
  • Patients with PI-RADS V2.1 of \< 4.
  • Patients were not in accordance with the indication of prostate biopsy.
  • The patient could not cooperate to complete the prostate biopsy.
  • The patients or their family members refused to participate in this study.
  • Patients with incomplete clinical information.
