Summary

This trial will test whether using MRI to screen for prostate cancer in addition to the PSA test will improve the accuracy of prostate cancer screening.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men at high risk of prostate cancer, which includes Black men or those with a family history (father, brother) or specific genetic mutations (BRCA 1/2, HOX B13). Participants should have PSA levels between 1.0 and 2.5 ng/dL and be able to consent. Men who've had recent UTIs, prostatitis, prostate surgery/biopsy, take certain medications for enlarged prostate, or can't undergo MRI are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study tests if biparametric MRI as a screening tool alongside PSA testing improves detection of prostate cancer in high-risk individuals. It aims to see whether this method can better identify patients who may need further investigation compared to current screening protocols.
What are the potential side effects?
While the biparametric MRI itself doesn't involve medication and thus has no direct side effects like drugs do, participants might experience discomfort from lying still during the scan or anxiety due to claustrophobia inside the scanner.

Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Study objectives can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary study objectives
Proportion of suspicious lesions on MRI in men with PSA less than 2.5 ng/ml
Secondary study objectives
Association of whether findings on bpMRI and serum PSA (i.e. PSA density) are associated with future diagnosis of prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer detection rate using 3T bpMRI in patients with high risk and suspicious lesions on bpMRI
To correlate bpMRI findings with future changes in PSA

Awards & Highlights
