NCT06579911

Brief Summary

\*\*Study Goal:\*\* The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine if combining high-frequency micro-ultrasound with multiparametric MRI biopsy and a systematic biopsy can better detect clinically significant prostate cancer compared to current standard methods. This study is aimed at men who may have prostate cancer. \*\*Main Questions the Study Aims to Answer:\*\*

  • A high-frequency micro-ultrasound examination of the prostate.
  • A multiparametric MRI-targeted biopsy of the prostate.
  • A systematic biopsy of the prostate. \*\*Comparison Group:\*\* Researchers will compare the new combination method with the current standard method to see if the new approach is more effective. \*\*Participants will:\*\*
  • Undergo several exams and biopsies depending on the results of previous tests.
  • Attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor potential side effects and evaluate prostate health.
  • Record their experiences and any symptoms in a diary.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Detection of Clinically Significant Prostate Cancer via Prostate Biopsy

    This measure assesses whether participants have clinically significant prostate cancer (Gleason Score Sum ≥ ISUP 2) based on biopsy results, recorded as "yes" or "no".

    2 Weeks

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Detection of Clinically Insignificant Prostate Cancer via Prostate Biopsy

    2 Weeks

Study Arms (2)

Group U

EXPERIMENTAL

Use of high-frequency micro-ultrasound target biopsy, multiparametric MRI target biopsy and systematic biopsy for tumor detection

Device: High-frequency micro-ultrasound target biopsy

Group S

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Use of multiparametric MRI target biopsy and systematic biopsy (current standard of care) for tumor detection

Device: conventional Multiparametric MRT target biopsy

Interventions

1. High-frequency micro-ultrasound (transrectal ultrasound, 29 Hz, ExactVu) of the prostate. If suspicious lesions (PRIMUS \>= 3) other than those already detected in multiparametric MRI are found, target biopsy will be performed. Maximum of four cores per lesion. 2. Multiparametric MRI target biopsy (PI-RADS \>= 3) of the prostate (transrectal ultrasound, 29 Hz, ExactVu). Maximum of four cores per lesion. 3. Systematic biopsy (twelve cores) of the prostate

Group U

1. Multiparametric MRT target biopsy (PI-RADS \>= 3) of the prostate (conventional transrectal ultrasound, 8-10 Hz). Maximum of four cores per lesion. 2. Systematic biopsy (twelve cores) of the prostate

Group S

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 99 Years
Sexmale(Gender-based eligibility)
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • \- Men with suspected clinically significant prostate cancer, identified by the rise in PSA level, suspicious digital rectal examination or both and pathologic multiparametric MRI of the prostate (\>= PI-RADS III)

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients with histopathologic proven prostate cancer
  • PSA \> 20 ng/ml
  • Finding in digital rectal examination \>= cT2c

Model Details: Participants are randomly divided into two groups. One group (the experimental group) receives the combination of high-frequency micro-ultrasound, multiparametric MRI-targeted biopsy, and systematic biopsy. The other group (the control group) receives the current standard care, which includes only multiparametric MRI-targeted biopsy and systematic biopsy. This setup allows direct comparison of the detection rates of clinically significant prostate cancer between the new combination of interventions and the standard approach.
