PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: First visit (a patient's involvement in the trial is complete following his biopsy).

Population: Intent To Treat includes all subjects, Per Protocol includes only subjects without protocol deviations.

Pathology analysis of prostate biopsy is reviewed for indication of clinically significant prostate cancer. Interim analyses are planned beginning when 800 patients have been enrolled and after every additional 200 patients are enrolled up to the maximum sample size of 2000 patients.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Pre-training refers to all biopsy procedures occurring between initial training and mid-trial PRI-MUS training. Post-training refers to all biopsy procedures performed after mid-trial PRI-MUS training.

Population: Pre and post-training detection rate for csPCa for the UHR-TRUS arm only (as investigators received additional training on this imaging modality)

Comparison of pre- and post-training percentage of participants found to harbor clinically significant prostate cancer within the UHR-TRUS arm of the trial

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: First visit (a patient's involvement in the trial is complete following his biopsy).

Pathology analysis of prostate biopsy is reviewed. Sensitivity of targeted biopsy for each arm will be calculated as the number of targeted biopsy that also found cancer among all targeted biopsies. Specificity of targeted biopsy for each arm will be calculated as the number of non-targeted biopsies that find no cancer among all non-targeted biopsies. Interim analyses are planned beginning when 800 patients have been enrolled and after every additional 200 patients are enrolled up to the maximum sample size of 2000 patients.
