Smarter MRI to avoid unnecessary prostate biopsies
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study tests a new computer program that reads MRI scans to help doctors decide if a prostate biopsy is truly needed. It aims to reduce unnecessary biopsies for men with suspicious test results.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Chinese men aged 50 or older
- Have a PSA level above 4 ng/ml or an abnormal prostate exam (DRE or PHI)
- Have been recommended for a prostate biopsy
- Have not had a prior biopsy or treatment for prostate cancer
- Have no history of genitourinary cancer (cancer of the urinary or reproductive system)

This study tests a new computer program that reads prostate MRI images to help doctors diagnose prostate cancer more accurately. It may help you by providing a clearer picture of your condition without extra tests.
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 tests a new biopsy system that uses MRI images and metabolic information to guide doctors to the most suspicious areas of the prostate during the biopsy. This could make the biopsy more accurate and help diagnose prostate cancer better.
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.
This study is testing whether artificial intelligence can better predict prostate cancer by combining two types of scans (MRI and PSMA PET) along with your medical history, PSA, and biopsy results. If you have already had these scans and a biopsy, your information may help researchers develop a more accurate, non-invasive diagnostic tool.
This study tests an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that may improve how doctors detect prostate cancer using imaging and biopsy information. It could help better identify cancer that is suspected based on PSA blood tests and rectal exam findings.
