Study summary

Retrospective reports from literature have shown a lower rate of infections for transperineal versus transrectal approach for prostate biopsies in the setting of prostate cancer suspicion.

The aim of this study would be to compare in a prospective randomized trial the rate of infection with transperineal versus transrectal approach.

Read the detailed description

Retrospective reports from literature have shown a lower rate of infections for the transperineal versus transrectal approach for prostate biopsies in the setting of prostate cancer suspicion.

Post-biopsy infection is becoming a more and more challenging situation due to the increase of incidence and development of antibiotic resistant germs.

The aim of this study would be to compare in a prospective randomized trial the rate of infection with transperineal vs transrectal approach.

Patient presenting an indication of prostate biopsy (PSA elevation, suspicious lesion at digital rectal, suspicious lesion on MRI) would be randomized 1:1 among transrectal vs transperineal biopsies.

Post-biopsy infection would be monitored by systemic urine analysis at one, two and four weeks after procedure and in case of clinical symptoms.

Study arms

  • Active comparator
    Transperineal prostate biopsy

    Patient will have a transperineal prostate biopsy.

    Procedure: Transperineal prostate biopsy

  • Active comparator
    Transrectal prostate biopsy

    Patient will have a transrectal prostate biopsy.

    Procedure: Transrectal prostate biopsy

Interventions

  • ProcedureTransperineal prostate biopsy

    Puncture of 12 to 30 percutaneous prostate core biopsies through the perineum with a transrectal ultrasound probe guidance. The procedure would be performed with the Artemis (Eigen) device allowing topographic recording of the puncture and MRI / ultrasound image fusion in order to target the MRI suspected lesion.

  • ProcedureTransrectal prostate biopsy

    Patient would undergo 12 to 30 transrectal prostate core biopsies through the rectum with a transrectal ultrasound probe guidance. The procedure would be performed with the Artemis (Eigen) device allowing topographic recording of the puncture and MRI / ultrasound image fusion in order to target the MRI suspected lesion.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Rate of post-biopsy infection from Baseline to four weeks after prostate biopsy

    Urinary infection will be assessed based on urinanalysis : 10\^5 germs and 10\^4 leucocytes minimum)

    Time frame: Four weeks post-biopsy

Secondary outcomes

  1. Presence of antibiotic resistant germ

    Antibiotic resistant germ will be assessed on urinanalysis

    Time frame: One week, two weeks and four weeks post-biopsy

  2. Presence of complication post-biopsy : hematuria, urinary retention, rectoragy, any other complication

    Presence of complication will be assessed during phone interview with the patient

    Time frame: One week, two weeks and four weeks post-biopsy
