Comparing portable MRI to standard prostate biopsy
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a more portable MRI scanner, combined with a standard ultrasound-guided biopsy, can find prostate cancer as accurately as the usual approach. If you have a suspicious MRI finding and need a biopsy, this study may help improve how we detect cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a higher-than-normal PSA level for your age.
- You have a suspicious spot (score 3 or higher) on a prostate MRI and your doctor has recommended a biopsy.
- You do not have any metal implants, a pacemaker, or other devices that would prevent a standard MRI.
- You are able to give your informed consent to participate.

Similar studies
Other trials that look related to this one.
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 trial is testing whether taking extra biopsy samples from specific areas seen on an MRI can better detect prostate cancer compared to the standard method of taking samples from all over the prostate. It may help men who have a suspicious MRI finding and a higher PSA level.
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 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 studies special MRI images to learn how well they can find prostate cancer before treatment. It may help doctors choose better next steps during biopsy or during active surveillance.
