Comparing two MRI-guided biopsy methods for prostate cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways of taking prostate biopsies to see which is more accurate at detecting cancer. Both use MRI images to guide the biopsy, which may help find cancer more precisely.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a raised PSA level specific to your age.
- You have a suspicious area on your prostate MRI (LIKERT or PIRADS 3 or higher).
- Your doctor recommended you have a prostate biopsy.
- You do not have any metal implants, pacemakers, or other devices that prevent you from having an MRI.
- You can have a biopsy using a probe inserted into the rectum (transrectal ultrasound).

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 compares two ways of taking prostate biopsies in men with suspected prostate cancer, to see which method finds cancer more accurately. Participation may help doctors choose the best biopsy approach for future patients.
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.
This study compares two ways of doing prostate biopsies (sampling tissue from the prostate) to see if one is better. It is for men who have a suspicious MRI finding on one side of the prostate and have not had a biopsy before. Participation may help determine which method is more accurate and could influence future care.
This trial compares two ways to take a prostate biopsy (through the rectum or through the skin between the scrotum and anus) to see which is more accurate. Men with suspicious MRI findings (PI-RADS 3, 4, or 5) who haven't had prostate cancer before may be eligible.
This trial compares two ways to use MRI images during a prostate biopsy to see which finds cancer better. It looks at 'fusion' biopsy (where a computer combines MRI with live ultrasound) versus 'cognitive' biopsy (where the doctor mentally matches the MRI to the ultrasound).
