Cognitive and fusion prostate biopsy study
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have never had a prostate biopsy before.
- Your PSA level is between 4 and 20 ng/mL.
- Your MRI shows a suspicious area with a score of 4 or 5 (Likert scale).
- You can safely have an MRI (no metal implants or other issues).

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 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).
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 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 study tests whether an artificial intelligence tool for MRI can improve the results of targeted prostate biopsy, compared to the usual method. It could help diagnose prostate cancer more accurately with fewer needles.
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.
