MRI-guided approach for prostate cancer diagnosis
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests if using MRI and a blood test called PHI can help decide who needs a prostate biopsy. It aims to avoid unnecessary biopsies while still catching cancer early.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a man aged 20 or older
- Your PSA level is between 3.0 and 20.0 ng/mL (a measure of prostate health), or your doctor found a lump during a rectal exam
- You have never had a prostate biopsy before
- Your cancer, if present, is still in the prostate and not thought to have spread (stage T2 or lower)
- You are able to understand and agree to the study

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 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 looks at using advanced MRI techniques to better spot prostate cancer, aiming to reduce unnecessary biopsies. It has two parts: one calibrates MRI scanners across hospitals, the other tests the new method in patients with suspicious MRI findings.
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.
This study compares using an MRI along with the PSA blood test and a digital rectal exam to find prostate cancer early. It may help avoid unnecessary biopsies.
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.
