Prostate biopsy study using MRI and a new scoring tool
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests a new scoring system that combines MRI results with other information to help decide if a prostate biopsy is needed. It aims to avoid unnecessary biopsies for men who may not have prostate cancer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult male.
- You have not been treated for prostate cancer before.
- You are scheduled for a prostate biopsy guided by MRI.
- You are able to have an MRI and a biopsy safely.

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 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.
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 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 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 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.
