GG2+ Prostate Cancer Risk
Participants at risk for Grade Group 2 (GG2+) prostate cancer. Participants will be followed for up to two years to rule out the presence of GG2+ prostate cancer
|
- Negative Predictive Value (NPV) for ruling out GG2+ prostate cancer via Habitat Risk Score (HRS) MRI Interpretation software combined with a panel of blood and urine biomarkers, versus via standard of care (SoC) MRI interpretation with PIRADS v2. [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months ]The investigators will assess whether automated quantitative HRS MRI interpretation software combined with a panel of blood and urine biomarkers incrementally improves the negative predictive value for ruling out GG2+ cancer on prostate biopsy by 30% or more above standard of care (SoC) MRI interpretation with PIRADS v2.
- NPV for ruling out GG2+ prostate cancer via HRS MRI Interpretation software versus via SoC MRI interpretation with PIRADS v2 [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months ]The investigators will assess whether automated quantitative HRS MRI interpretation software can incrementally improve the negative predictive value (NPV) for ruling out GG2+ cancer on prostate biopsy by 20% or more above SoC MRI interpretation with PIRADS v2.
- NPV for ruling out GG2+ prostate cancer by a panel of blood and urine biomarkers versus via SoC MRI interpretation with PIRADS v2 [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months ]The investigators will assess whether a panel of blood and urine biomarkers can incrementally improve the negative predictive value (NPV) for ruling out GG2+ cancer on prostate biopsy by 10% or more above SoC MRI interpretation with PIRADS v2.
- NPV for ruling out clinically significant prostate cancer via HRS MRI interpretation software combined with a panel of blood and urine biomarkers versus via SoC MRI interpretation with PIRADS v2 [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months ]The investigators will assess whether automated quantitative HRS MRI interpretation software combined with a panel of blood and urine biomarkers incrementally improves the negative predictive value for ruling out clinically significant prostate cancer (defined as any GG2+ cancer OR 50% or more cores of GG1 cancer) on prostate biopsy by 30% or more above standard of care MRI interpretation with PIRADS v2

Ages Eligible for Study: | 40 Years to 85 Years (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | Male |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | Yes |
Sampling Method: | Non-Probability Sample |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Male participant, aged 40-85 years.
- In good general health as evidenced by medical history.
- Referred for a biopsy of the prostate for evaluation of prostate cancer due to elevated or increasing prostate-specific antigen (PSA) or an abnormal digital rectal exam (DRE).
- Participant must agree to forego testosterone supplementation during the duration of the study due to unknown impacts on prostate cancer biomarkers.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Previous or current history of prostate cancer or treatment for prostate cancer.
- Previous history of pelvic radiation.
- Known allergic reactions to MRI contrast or inability to undergo MRI due to renal toxicity.
- Inability to undergo blood draw or biopsy of the prostate as per protocol.
- Prior MRI guided biopsy of the prostate for prostate cancer evaluation.
- Previous prostate biopsy or prostate procedure within 6 months of enrollment within the trial.
- Standard contraindications to MRI, such as allergies to contrast die, renal toxicity, ferromagnetic metal in body/eye, pacemaker, defibrillator, other mechanical device, or extreme claustrophobia (medication with anti-anxiety agents, such as Ativan, may be attempted) will prevent eligibility and will be applied for all protocol-related MRIs.
- Patients with impaired decision-making capacity.
