NCT ID NCT07332832

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 Results may not be published yet.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.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study will follow 1,000 men with suspicious prostate lesions using yearly MRI scans and regular PSA blood tests. The goal is to see if changes in MRI images can help decide when a biopsy is truly needed, potentially avoiding unnecessary procedures. Researchers will track how often significant prostate cancers are found and whether this monitoring strategy is safe and effective over time.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Bi-parametric MRI and PSA test
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could help doctors decide when to biopsy, avoiding unnecessary procedures and improving prostate cancer detection.
What could go wrong
This is an early observational study, not a treatment trial. The strategy may not reduce biopsies or miss some cancers, and results may not apply to all patients.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

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

Inclusion Criteria: * Aged 18 to 85 years. * Total PSA (tPSA) level ranging from 3 ng/ml to 20 ng/ml (inclusive). * Underwent prostate MRI at the study institution with complete imaging sequences. * Capable of providing written informed consent. * Patients with PI-RADS 4-5, or PI-RADS 3 combined with PSAD ≥ 0.2 ng/ml², who have undergone prostate biopsy with no diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa). * Biopsy-naïve patients with PI-RADS 2, or PI-RADS 3 combined with PSAD \< 0.2 ng/ml². Exclusion Criteria: * Pathologically confirmed diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa). * Contraindications to prostate biopsy or inability to tolerate the procedure. * Current use of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors (5-ARIs). * History of hip replacement, metallic hip arthroplasty, or extensive pelvic orthopedic surgery with metallic hardware, or presence of other implants that would degrade MRI image quality. * Contraindications to bi-parametric MRI (bpMRI) (e.g., severe claustrophobia, cardiac pacemakers).
