Study summary

Multiparametric MRI of the prostate is recommended before each prostate biopsy. It identifies suspicious areas which will then be the subject of targeted biopsies. However, MRI suffers from low specificity and moderate inter-reader reproducibility, including with the use of the PI-RADS version 2.1 score.

We are developing, within the framework of RHU PERFUSE, a computer-aided diagnosis system (CAD) for the detection of ISUP ≥2 cancers. This system has been trained on a database of patients who had prostate MRI and prostatectomy at the Hospices Civils de Lyon and performed well on a database of patients who had prostate MRI before biopsy at the Hopices civils de Lyon.

However, one of the weaknesses of artificial intelligence systems is their low robustness when tested on MRI images from different manufacturers or institutions.

The goal of the CHANGE study is to build a prospective multicenter cohort of patients who underwent prostate multiparametric MRI followed by systematic and targeted prostate biopsies. The cohort will be used for the final external validation of the CAD developed in PERFUSE.

    Prospective multicenter cohort

    Constitution of a prospective multicenter cohort of 420 patients with suspected prostate cancer that will undergo prostate multiparametric MRI followed by systematic and targeted biopsy. When available (i.e., at the end of the RHU PERFUSE program, November 2022), the final version of the CAD will be used retrospectively to assess the risk that the prostate/targeted lesions harbor ISUP ≥2 cancer. In addition, a blood sample will be taken in all patients before the biopsy to assess the performance of the PHI index in predicting the presence of ISUP ≥2 cancer at systematic and targeted biopsy (ancillary study, secondary objective).

    Biological: Blood sample · Other: Follow up questionnaire · Diagnostic Test: Human reading of prostate MR images (PI-RADSv2.1).

PHI index then, if positive, MRI and biopsies regardless of the MRI result (MRI used only to guide targeted biopsies). 2. PHI index then, if positive, MRI then, if positive, targeted biopsies. 3. Biopsy only if MRI positive; no PHI index. 4. MRI then, if positive, PHI index then, if positive, targeted biopsies. 5. MRI then, if negative, PHI index; biopsy for patients with a positive MRI or with a negative MRI but a positive PHI index 6. PHI index and MRI for all patients; biopsy if positive PHI index AND positive MRI. 7. PHI index and MRI for all patients; biopsy if positive PHI OR positive MRI.

Individual participant data

Plan to share: Yes — After publication of the results of the trial, the CHANGE cohort will be made partially accessible to other investigators wishing to test a CAD system aimed at detecting/localizing prostate cancer on MR images while respecting patient information. Request for access to pseudonymized data will be reviewed by the Trial Steering Committee that will grant access or not. To gain access, requestors will be required to sign a data access agreement. Of note, investigators will have access only to the MR images and not to the histological findings. After analysis of the CHANGE MR images by their CAD system, the investigator will be requested to send the results to the Hospices Civils de Lyon. The comparison between the CAD findings and the targeted and systematic biopsy findings will be made by the Hospices Civils de Lyon that will then inform the investigator of the CAD diagnostic performance.
