What to expect

No one can promise a trial will help you personally — that is what the research is trying to find out.

What participation involves

  • Procedures mentioned: MRI scans, Biopsies

Only what the study's summary and detailed description on ClinicalTrials.gov say. Time periods may describe the whole study or a part of it — ask the study team what applies to you.

  • "This study aims to assess the feasibility of magnetic resonance (MR) guided prostate biopsy using a needle holder frame."
  • "This frame is used to help position the needle used for the biopsy."
  • "If it does, a biopsy can be carried out with the needle holder frame safely in a clinical routine."
  • "The study will be conducted during a routine MR-guided prostate biopsy procedure with an investigational needle holder frame instead of a conventional needle-guiding template."
  • "The study will be conducted during a routine MR-guided prostate biopsy procedure."
  • "The treating physicians have decided that an MR-guided prostate biopsy is necessary under the participant's current condition."
Compensation
Not stated
  • Study-related exams and procedures are typically provided at no cost. This is how many trials work in general — confirm the details for this study with the study team.
  • Participants are monitored closely by the research team throughout the study.
  • Some participants may receive access to an investigational treatment, which is still being studied.
  • Your participation helps researchers learn whether this approach could help future patients.

About this study

This study aims to assess the feasibility of magnetic resonance (MR) guided prostate biopsy using a needle holder frame. This frame is used to help position the needle used for the biopsy. The feasibility in this study is defined as whether the needle holder frame enables accurate tissue sampling from a suspicious region in the prostate found on an MR image. If it does, a biopsy can be carried out with the needle holder frame safely in a clinical routine. The study will be conducted during a routine MR-guided prostate biopsy procedure with an investigational needle holder frame instead of a conventional needle-guiding template.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.

Eligibility

Official eligibility criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Either an abnormal serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level (\> 4ng/Ml) or a palpable nodule in the prostate on digital rectal examination or prostate MRI suspicious lesion.. * Diagnostic MRI of the prostate gland. * Age \> 30 years * Signed informed consent. * No contra-indications to MRI, i.e. no cardiac pacemaker. * No recent or ongoing active ischemic heart disease.
