A closer look at prostate MRI to avoid unnecessary biopsies
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study uses repeat MRI scans to monitor men with an intermediate suspicion of prostate cancer, aiming to reduce unnecessary biopsies while still catching significant cancers early.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are expected to live more than 10 more years.
- Your initial PSA level is below 20 ng/ml.
- Your doctor's rectal exam shows no signs of cancer outside the prostate.
- Your MRI result is PI-RADS 3 (uncertain) or PI-RADS 4 (suspicious) with a PSA density of 0.15 or lower.
- You must be willing and able to follow the study's check-up plan for up to four years.
- You have not had a prostate biopsy or been diagnosed with prostate cancer before.

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 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 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 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.
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.
This study enrolls men who may have prostate cancer but do not yet have a diagnosis. It uses prostate MRI along with blood and urine tests to see if specific signals can help identify prostate cancer sooner.
