Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Men whose serum Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) level is 20ng/ml or less, whose multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) scan has been scored as Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PIRADS)/LIKERT score 3, 4 or 5, and who have been advised and accepted the need for a targeted and systematic prostate biopsy will be invited to take part in the study and be asked to donate blood, urine, imaging files and prostate biopsy for biomarker analysis.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Men will be recruited across a number of high-volume National Health Service (NHS) centres which already have an mpMRI based diagnostic pathway. All eligible patients referred to secondary care with a suspicion on prostate cancer will be considered for screening. Potential participants will be identified at the point of referral or routine urology cancer clinics. Patients will be approached by the ReIMAGINE study team and consented. The initial discussion may be over the telephone Once the consent form is signed, patients will be asked to donate blood, urine and three additional samples of prostate tissue (taken at the time of their biopsy) for biomarker and Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) analysis.
Imaging files from the MRI scan will also be collected and stored on the study data warehouse. Small sections of tissue will be cut from the standard of care blocks (post NHS reporting) and then returned back to the hospital.
After collection of the cross-sectional biological samples within ReIMAGINE, men will revert to NHS standard of care, attending a routine outpatient appointment to obtain the results from their biopsy. We will collect healthcare information on study participants during the study and three years after their prostate biopsy. Further funding will be explored for life-long collection of this data.
The ReIMAGINE team aim to recruit 1,000 men with a PIRADs/LIKERT score 3, 4 or 5 who are undergoing an MRI-directed prostate biopsy. Of these 1,000 biopsies, we anticipate that 60% will have any cancer detected on histology (3+3 or greater) giving approximately 400 cases of clinically significant cancer (Gleason 7 or more).

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Cohort Observation
This is a cohort study where participating men will be asked to donate blood, urine, tissue in addition to access to standard of care tissue and medical data (including imaging files). Men will also consent to longer term healthcare data linkage.
Tissue donation
Biopsies will be performed as part of standard of care, additional cores will be performed for research. Access to standard of care prostate biopsy tissue will also be requested after standard of care reporting is complete.
Blood Donation
Phlebotomy will be performed prior to tissue collection following trust standard operating procedures or drawn when cannula already in situ in preparation for the prostate biopsy.
Urine Donation
Urine will be collected prior to prostate biopsy
Healthcare data linkage
Men will consent to healthcare data linkage via national databases.
