New urine test aims to catch aggressive prostate cancer early
NCT ID NCT07526545
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will test a new urine test called My Prostate Score 2 (MPS2) combined with MRI to detect aggressive prostate cancer in men aged 50-75 with elevated PSA levels. The goal is to find only the cancers that need treatment and avoid unnecessary biopsies. The trial plans to enroll 800 participants and compare the new approach to standard care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- My Prostate Score 2 (MPS2) urine test
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could improve early detection of aggressive prostate cancer while reducing unnecessary biopsies and MRIs.
- What could go wrong
- The trial hasn't started yet, and the urine test is still investigational. It may not prove better than current methods, and results may not apply to all men.
