Study summary

The purpose of this study is to see if the ConfirmMDx assay is useful in finding prostate cancer in patients who are at increased risk for prostate cancer based on elevated PSA and prostate lesion identified on mpMRI.

Study population

Subjects were selected due to increased risk of prostate cancer with prior elevated prostate specific antigen (PSA), mpMRI, prostatic lesions and negative MRI-ultrasound guided fusion biopsy due to the potential for prostate cancer that was not detected prior.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Prior documented elevated PSA (> 4.0 ng/ml)
  • MRI lesion based on PIRADS scoring within the past 3 years
  • Completed MR/US fusion prostate with concurrent systematic biopsy for PIRADS score 2-5 with negative pathological findings completed subsequent ConfirmMDx assay (regardless of result). The most recent biopsy can be within 4 years if ConfirmMDx already completed.
  • May have had prior negative biopsy sessions prior to the most recent MR/US fusion biopsy
  • Must be able to stop anticoagulation/antiplatelet therapy 5-7 days prior to obtaining biopsy
  • Ability to give

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Any cancer
  • Any prostate cancer
  • Active infection: urinary tract infection or prostate infection precluding prostate
  • Anal stenosis or severe anal disease preventing prostate biopsy
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Biopsy and archival tissue

A biopsy takes a small piece of tissue to examine. “Archival tissue” is a sample already taken, for example at diagnosis, and kept by the hospital.

Whether a stored sample will do depends on when it was taken, how much there is and what the study needs. Ask whether the study accepts your stored sample or needs a new biopsy.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Detection of prostate cancer based on rebiopsy of lesions on multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) following a negative MR/US fusion biopsy with concurrent systematic biopsy with correlation of ConfirmMDx assay testing performed on negative MR/US fusion biopsy

    Time frame: baseline

Secondary outcomes

  1. Correlation of PIRADS scores with ConfirmMDx testing outcomes

    Time frame: baseline

  2. Correlation of prostate cancer detection on re-biopsy with ConfirmMDx testing outcomes

    Time frame: baseline

  3. Compare prostate cancer detection rates for repeat MR/US fusion biopsy after prior negative biopsy

    Time frame: baseline
