Prostate Cancer Aggressiveness | Diagnostic Test: Subtraction Normalized Expression of Phagocytes Blood Test |
Study Type : | Observational [Patient Registry] |
Estimated Enrollment : | 2000 participants |
Observational Model: | Cohort |
Time Perspective: | Prospective |
Target Follow-Up Duration: | 10 Years |
Official Title: | A Multi-center, Prospective Active Surveillance Registry Trial Assessing the Performance of a Non-invasive Immunogenomic Blood Test for Indolent Prostate Cancer Disease Management. |
Actual Study Start Date : | September 9, 2019 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date : | November 15, 2023 |
Estimated Study Completion Date : | September 30, 2029 |

- Diagnostic Test: Subtraction Normalized Expression of Phagocytes Blood Test
Non-invasive blood based immunogenomic assay that targets RNA sequencing to identify disease and disease aggressiveness
- Collect performance results on assay's ability to identify occult aggressive disease in active surveillance population. [ Time Frame: 1 year ]Collect information from repeat biopsy including any increase in gleason grade, increase in number of cores positive, and increase in % cross sectional surface area involved by tumor from the repeat biopsy.
- Validate immunogenomic assay's ability to serve as an ongoing, non-invasive tool to monitor patient risk for disease progression as detected by repeat biopsy. [ Time Frame: 10 years ]On an annual basis, collect follow-up frequency data for each patient including optional repeat blood testing, repeat biopsy data, disease management decisions, and disease progression.
Biospecimen Retention: Samples With DNA
Three tubes of blood:
Two 8ml CPT One 4ml SST
Prostate Biopsy slides

Inclusion Criteria
- Men between 40-80 of age with at least a 10-year life expectancy
- All active surveillance protocols are accepted
- No PSA limits
Category 1:
- Patient is currently on active surveillance with only ONE previous low grade prostate biopsy.
- Patient must already be scheduled for their 1st annual biopsy under their active surveillance protocol within 90 days of enrollment date.
Category 2:
• Patient is recently diagnosed with low grade prostate cancer but has decided against active surveillance and is scheduled for radical prostatectomy within 90 days of enrollment date.
Exclusion Criteria:
Men on watchful waiting i.e. those with less than 10-year life expectancy with no intent for curative therapy
- Men with symptoms or rising PSA who have not been proven to have cancer by tissue biopsy i.e. men with only negative prostate biopsies.
- Patients with a history of a different cancer (except basal cell carcinoma)
