MRI-targeted biopsy for first-time prostate cancer screening
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial is testing a new way to do prostate biopsies by combining MRI findings with a targeted biopsy on the same side as the suspicious area. It is for men who have not had a biopsy before and have a moderately high PSA level.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your PSA level is between 4 and 20 ng/mL.
- Your MRI shows a suspicious area with a score of 4 or higher, or a score of 3 with a high PSA density.
- You have never had a prostate biopsy before.
- You have not had hormone therapy, pelvic radiation, or surgery to remove part of the prostate.
- The main suspicious area on your MRI is not exactly in the middle of the prostate.

This study is testing a new approach to prostate biopsy that takes samples from around a suspicious area seen on MRI. It aims to see if this method can better detect prostate cancer compared to standard biopsy.
This study explores using repeated MRI scans to catch prostate cancer early in men who have never had a biopsy. If you have a suspicious spot on an MRI, you might be able to get careful monitoring without immediate biopsy, which could help avoid unnecessary procedures.
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 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 whether repeat MRI scans can help monitor suspicious prostate areas and avoid unnecessary biopsies. It aims to improve detection of significant prostate cancer while reducing invasive procedures.
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.
