Brief Summary

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

The goal is to provide more accurate diagnostic tools and optimized diagnostic workflows for clinically suspected prostate cancer patients with prior negative biopsies, improving early detection rates for csPCa and reducing missed diagnoses.

Detailed Description

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

This research intends to prospectively enroll patients with prior negative biopsies, a PI-RADS score ≤ 3, and persistent PSA or PHI elevation, randomly assigning them to the PSMA PET/MRI group (experimental group) and the TRUS-guided transperineal saturation biopsy group (control group). The research aims to evaluate the application of PSMA PET/MRI in clinically suspected prostate cancer patients with prior negative biopsies, comparing the differences in csPCa detection rates between PSMA PET/MRI-TRUS guided prostate targeted biopsy and TRUS-guided saturation biopsy.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

The control group

The control group will receive TRUS guided transperineal saturation biopsy.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

TRUS guided transperineal saturation biopsy

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The control group will receive TRUS guided transperineal saturation biopsy. Clinical and pathological data of the patients will be collected for statistical analysis.

The experimental group

The experimental group will undergo PSMA PET/MRI examination. For those with positive PSMA PET/MRI results, a PSMA PET/MRI-TRUS guided prostate targeted biopsy will be performed based on transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided transperineal saturation biopsy, targeting the positive lesions. For those with negative PSMA PET/MRI results, only TRUS guided transperineal saturation biopsy will be performed.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

PSMA PET/MRI-TRUS guided prostate targeted combined saturation biopsy

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

The experimental group will undergo PSMA PET/MRI examination. For those with positive PSMA PET/MRI results, a PSMA PET/MRI-TRUS guided prostate targeted biopsy will be performed based on transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided transperineal saturation biopsy, targeting the positive lesions. For those with negative PSMA PET/MRI results, only TRUS guided transperineal saturation biopsy will be performed. Clinical and pathological data of the patients will be collected for statistical analysis.
