MRI-guided prostate biopsy for cancer diagnosis
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial uses MRI to guide a biopsy of the prostate, aiming to better detect cancer in men with abnormal PSA levels, a lump, or a suspicious MRI finding.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 30 years or older.
- You have an abnormal PSA level (over 4), a lump felt during a rectal exam, or a suspicious spot on a prostate MRI.
- You have already had a prostate MRI as part of your diagnosis.
- You can safely have an MRI (no pacemaker, inner ear implants, or certain aneurysm clips).
- You do not have recent or ongoing chest pain from heart disease.

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 study tests whether using MRI imaging to guide prostate biopsies can help doctors sample only suspicious areas instead of taking many samples throughout the prostate. It may reduce discomfort and complications while still finding prostate cancer if present.
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.
This study tests whether special MRI “risk maps” can help doctors better identify suspicious areas in the prostate during diagnosis. If you’re having an MRI followed by an MRI-guided biopsy, this may help improve how the biopsy targets areas of concern.
This study tests a new MRI platform to better identify prostate issues before a biopsy. It is for people with elevated PSA whose doctor is considering a biopsy.
This study uses a special MRI-guided (MRI-fusion) needle biopsy to look for early prostate cancer. It may help find concerning areas more accurately before cancer spreads.
