Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of an empiric course of antibiotics for men with an elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Study Objectives:

Primary Objective: To assess the impact of ciprofloxacin on the change in PSA from baseline/randomization to prostate biopsy

Secondary Objective: To assess the impact of ciprofloxacin on the overall infectious complications following prostate biopsy

The impact of observation versus ciprofloxacin on PSA levels will be assessed by PSA change from baseline. The first PSA measurement will be at the study entry and randomization. The second PSA measurement will be immediately prior to prostate biopsy, which will occur 21-45 days following randomization.
