Study summary

This prospective observational study will enroll men referred for prostate biopsy due to elevated PSA and/or abnormal digital rectal examination, with or without pre-biopsy MRI. Peripheral blood will be collected prior to biopsy for PROSTest analysis. Biopsy histopathology will serve as the reference standard. PROSTest results will be analyzed blinded to pathology.

Read the detailed description

This prospective observational study will enroll men referred for prostate biopsy due to elevated PSA and/or abnormal digital rectal examination, with or without pre-biopsy MRI. Peripheral blood will be collected prior to biopsy for PROSTest analysis. Biopsy histopathology will serve as the reference standard. PROSTest results will be analyzed blinded to pathology. Diagnostic performance metrics including sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value, and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve will be calculated. Decision-curve analyses will assess potential reductions in unnecessary biopsies. Exploratory analyses will evaluate correlations between PROSTest scores, MRI findings, and pathologic grade group.

Endpoints: Primary endpoint is diagnostic accuracy of PROSTest for PCa detection. Secondary endpoints include negative predictive value, correlation with Gleason grade group, and incremental performance of PROSTest when combined with PSA and MRI.

Trial Status: IRB approval is complete. Enrollment is expected to begin in March 2026, with a planned sample size of approximately [1,500] participants.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Diagnostic accuracy of the PROSTest to detect prostate cancer at biopsy

    Primary endpoint is diagnostic accuracy of PROSTest for PCa detection. Assay is scored 0-100 and has a cut-off of 50 for normal. A blood sample with a PROSTest score \> or equal than 50 are predicted to be a prostate cancer. The expectation is that \>85% of individuals who are biopsy positive are also PROSTest-positive. We anticipate \~400 individuals will be biopsy positive. Conversely, the expectation is that \>75% of individuals who are biopsy negative will also be PROSTest-negative. We anticipate \~600 individuals will be biopsy negative. This will allow us to derive diagnostic metrics for the assay using biopsy-status as the gold standard.

    Time frame: Following completion of the study. Study is anticipated to enroll over a year and be completed within 18 months. Samples will be evaluated at study end.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Diagnostics metrics for the PROSTest

    Secondary endpoint includes investigating whether there is a correlation between the PROSTest score (scaled 0-100) and the Gleason grade group.

    Time frame: Following completion of the study. Study is anticipated to enroll over a year and be completed within 18 months. Samples will be evaluated at study end.
