What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study is testing new MRI techniques to see if they can detect prostate cancer better than current scans. Researchers will compare different mathematical models of tissue structure with detailed lab analysis of removed prostate tissue. The goal is to improve diagnosis without needing more invasive procedures. 300 men scheduled for prostate removal are participating.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could lead to more accurate, non-invasive prostate cancer diagnosis using advanced MRI.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage observational study focused on comparing imaging methods, not testing a treatment. Results may not change current practice quickly.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Humans with a prostate ≥18 years of age. * Patients with biopsy-proven PCa who are scheduled for an RPE. * Signed informed consent form (ICF) that demonstrates study participant understands the purpose of and procedures necessary for the study. * Willingness, ability, and legal capacity to participate in the study. * Ability to adhere to the prohibitions and restrictions defined in this protocol. Exclusion Criteria: * Inability to give consent. * Prior hormone treatment (i.e., androgen deprivation treatment (ADT) and/or 5-ɑ-reductase inhibitors). * Prior PCa treatment. * Prior transurethral resection of the prostate (TUR-P) or other prostate surgery. * Prior total hip arthroplasty on one or both sides or other metal implants that interfere with the MRI acquisition of the hip region. * General contraindications for an MRI scan (i.e., pacemaker, relevant metal implants, etc.).
