Comparing two MRI-guided biopsy methods for prostate cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man scheduled for a prostate biopsy as part of your normal care
- This is your first prostate biopsy, or you have not had one in the past 3 years
- You had a special MRI (mp-MRI) that showed one or more spots rated PIRADS 3, 4, or 5 (areas that might be cancer)
- The largest spot on the MRI is 2 cm or smaller
- Your PSA level is 20 or lower, or an exam found something abnormal

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 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 tests whether using a “cognitive” approach versus a software-guided approach to plan a prostate biopsy is just as effective. It may help improve how biopsies are targeted for men with PSA changes and/or abnormal prostate exams.
This trial compares two ways to guide a prostate biopsy for men with abnormal MRI findings. It may help if you have never had a prostate biopsy and have certain PSA levels.
This trial compares two types of biopsy methods (fusion-guided and cognitive-guided) for men with very small prostate lesions seen on MRI. It aims to see which method better detects early prostate cancer in these hard-to-find spots.
This study compares two ways of using prostate MRI images to guide a biopsy and check how accurately prostate cancer can be found. If you have MRI spots that may be cancer, the trial will help test whether computer software or a visual method works better.
