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 trial tests whether having repeated MRI scans can help find prostate cancer early in men who have never had a biopsy. It may be a good fit if you have a slightly elevated PSA and a suspicious spot on your first MRI.
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 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 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.
