Fast prostate MRI and guided biopsy testing for prostate cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study checks whether a faster prostate MRI and image-matching (image-fusion) can better find suspicious spots so doctors can target a biopsy. If you have concerning prostate exam results or PSA blood test results, you may get an MRI and, if something looks suspicious, a biopsy using MRI images.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You’re age 18 or older.
- You have a prostate and have not used hormone-blocking treatment for prostate cancer before (and you’re able to have prostate MRI).
- Your doctor recommended a prostate MRI because of an abnormal rectal exam and/or an elevated PSA in the last 6 months (with PSA cutoffs based on age and risk).
- Your PSA level must be 50 ng/mL or lower.
- You must not have had a prostate MRI or prostate biopsy in the past 2 years, and you must not have already been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

This study tests if a special MRI measurement (ADC) can improve how well a standard MRI finds prostate cancer. If you have a suspicious MRI and are scheduled for a biopsy, this might help better understand your results.
This study is testing an approach to find prostate cancer earlier in men who may be at higher risk. If you fit the criteria, you may get an mpMRI scan before undergoing a prostate biopsy to check for cancer.
This trial tests if using MRI and a blood test called PHI can help decide who needs a prostate biopsy. It aims to avoid unnecessary biopsies while still catching cancer early.
This trial is testing a new, faster type of MRI scan (called biparametric MRI) to see if it can detect prostate cancer as well as the standard scan. It may help you avoid a longer scan and possibly reduce the need for contrast dye.
This study checks whether a detailed MRI method can help find prostate cancer earlier in people considered high risk. You may be asked to get an MRI and help the team see if it works well as a screening test.
This trial compares two ways to guide a prostate biopsy using MRI images, to see which better detects clinically significant prostate cancer in men with suspicious MRI findings.
