Pro-Cure2014: MR-targeted vs. Random TRUS-guided Prostate Biopsy
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
To compare prostate cancer (PCa) detection rate of magnetic resonance (MR)-targeted biopsy and transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided biopsy in patients with high PSA values and at least one previous negative prostate biopsy. Subjects will be submitted to a multiparametric MR scan of the prostate and subsequently patients with a suspicious MR for PCa presence will be randomized (1:1) into the two study arms.

Detailed Description
In men with previously negative prostate biopsy and persistent elevated PSA value, it is unclear which biopsy strategy offers the highest detection rate for significant PCa. The hypothesis of this study is that MR-targeted biopsy improves the detection rates of significant prostate cancers compared with systematic TRUS-guided prostate biopsy.
Men with at least one previously negative TRUS-guided biopsy and persistently elevated PSA values (> 4 ng/ml) will be submitted to a multiparametric MR imaging examination of the prostate. Subsequently, participants with suspected regions at MR imaging will be randomized (1:1) into the two study arms. In study arm A patients will be submitted to MR-targeted in-bore prostate biopsy based on the multiparametric MR imaging findings. In study arm B patients will be submitted to systematic TRUS-guided prostate biopsy with saturation scheme.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: MR-targeted biopsy Patients of arm A receive a targeted MR-guided in-bore prostate biopsy. From each prostate lesion defined in the diagnostic multiparametric MR imaging two targeted biopsy cores will be taken. |
Device: MR-guided in-bore prostate biopsy
2 targeted biopsy cores from each prostate lesion detected at multiparametric MR imaging
|
Experimental: TRUS-guided biopsy Patients of arm B receive a saturation TRUS-guided prostate biopsy. |
Device: TRUS-guided prostate biopsy
24-28 systematic biopsy core (saturation scheme)
