What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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.

Summary

This study tests a new infrared fluorescence staining technique that could help doctors diagnose prostate cancer faster during a biopsy. The method is compared to the standard frozen section analysis and the gold-standard paraffin section. If successful, it may offer a quicker, more accurate way to identify cancer cells in prostate tissue samples.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
infrared fluorescence rapid staining technique
What this could lead to
If accurate, this technique could provide faster, more reliable prostate cancer diagnosis during biopsy, potentially reducing the need for repeat procedures.
What could go wrong
This is a validation study with 120 participants, so results may not generalize. The new method might not match the accuracy of standard pathology, and technical issues could limit its use.

Show the full entry requirements

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

Inclusion Criteria: 1. All adult male patients who are scheduled to undergo prostate biopsy at the Department of Urology, Xiangya Hospital due to clinical suspicion (e.g., elevated PSA, abnormal digital rectal examination, or suspicious lesions on imaging). 2. Patients whose cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic, renal, and coagulation functions are essentially normal and who are able to tolerate the biopsy procedure. 3. The patient or their legally authorized representative has signed the written informed consent form. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Patients in the acute infection phase or febrile period. 2. Patients with severe bleeding tendency conditions who are unable to undergo biopsy. 3. Patients with any serious concomitant disease that, in the investigator's opinion, may interfere with the study results or increase the patient's risk (e.g., hypertensive crisis; decompensated cardiac insufficiency; severe internal or external hemorrhoids, perianal or rectal lesions, etc.).
