About this trial

This is an interventional diagnostic trial for Prostate Cancer focused on measuring Transrectal Ultrasound, Prostate biopsy

Eligibility Criteria

18 Years - undefined (Adult, Older Adult)MaleDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Men who are scheduled to undergo ultrasound fusion-MR prostate biopsy;
  • Men who are willing to participate in the study;
  • Subjects must freely sign informed consent to enroll in the study;
  • Assessing eligibility: eligibility for the study will be assessed, based upon the above criteria, by the participating urologist at the time of consultation.
  • 18 years or older

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Men who have had previous treatment for PCa including radiation, cryoablation, chemotherapy, surgery, high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), laser therapy or hormone therapy;
  • Men who have had previous non-pharmacological invasive or minimally invasive treatment for benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) (i.e., TURP, TUMPT, WIT, TUNA, etc);
  • standard pharmacological treatment of BPH is allowable
  • Men who are mentally impaired and cannot give written consent;
  • Men with anomalies of the rectum.

MR-ultrasound fusion

Arm Description

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

PCa detection rate
Length of cancerous tissue
Grade of cancerous tissue
Gleason score
A commonly used method to classify how cells appear in cancerous tissues; the less the cancerous cells look like normal cells, the more malignant the cancer; two numbers, each from 1 to 5, are assigned to the two most predominant types of cells present. These two numbers are added together to produce the Gleason score. Higher numbers indicate more aggressive cancers.
Gleason Grade Group
A newer technique to stratify prostate cancer risk, 5 categories.
Clinically significant disease (CSD) as measured by biopsy score.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new ultrasound technique. This technique may provide additional and improved information about the stiffness and sizes of the internal structures of your prostate in order to improve the guidance for a targeted biopsy. The investigational, custom-designed probe and needle guide will be used to produce images of your prostate and provide guidance for up to 4 additional biopsy samples (cores) prior to a standard magnetic resonance (MR) ultrasound fusion biopsy procedure. Above the time required for the MR ultrasound fusion biopsy, this study will take up to 30 additional minutes of time for collection of the investigational device guided collection of biopsy samples Risks of participation include increased time under anesthesia (to collect additional biopsies) and slight heating of tissue.

8. Arms, Groups, and Interventions

Arm Title
Acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI)
Arm Type
Experimental
Arm Description
Patients with suspected PCa who are scheduled to undergo an ultrasound fusion-MR prostate biopsy.
Arm Title
MR-ultrasound fusion
Arm Type
Active Comparator
Arm Description
Patients with suspected PCa who are scheduled to undergo an ultrasound fusion-MR prostate biopsy.
Intervention Type
Device
Intervention Name(s)
Acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI)
Intervention Description
Sound waves are sent in a series and are expected to "push on" the prostate and move it a very small amount (the width of a hair). The stiffer the structure (prostate), the less it will move. This motion will be detected by the ultrasound system
Intervention Type
Device
Intervention Name(s)
Ultrasound
Intervention Description
Standard ultrasound imaging session, ultrasound sound waves are sent into the tissue and bounce off of structures to make an image that appears on a screen
