Overview
Brief Summary
This randomized prospective multi center study is designed to confirm a new diagnostic pathway in primary diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer by combination of serum levels of prostate specific antigen (PSA), digitorectal examination (DRE), and multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI). Men at the age of 50 to 75 with an elevated PSA (>= 3 ng/ml) and /or suspicious DRE receive an upfront multi parametric MRI. Only men with MRI results suspicious of clinically significant prostate cancer will be biopsied. Those will be randomized into arm A and arm B. Arm A undergoes only targeted MRI/US fusion-guided biopsies (= TB with a maximum of 3 targets and 4 cores per target). Arm B receives systematic biopsies (= SB with 12 biopsy cores) and TB. Men with unsuspicious mpMRI will be receive follow-up according to current clinical standards. PRIMA will prospectively evaluate if stand-alone targeted MRI/US fusion-guided biopsy alone is sufficient to detect clinically significant prostate cancer (csPC with (ISUP grade group ≥ 2) and to avoid unnecessary detection of low-grade PC (ISUP 1) in biopsy-naïve men compared to a combined biopsy (systematic plus targeted) approach. The results of this study will directly influence clinical practice, will have a positive impact on patients' lives, and will lower the financial burden due to reduced overdiagnosis and over treatment.
Detailed Description
Men at the age of 50 to 75 years with an elevated PSA (≥ 3 ng/ml) and/or suspicious DRE receive a multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) and will be stratified based on MRI results. Only men with suspicious MRI, PI-RADS 4/5, and PI-RADS 3 in conjunction with high PSA density (PSAD \> 0.15) are biopsied. These will be randomized into arms A nd B. While patients in arm A undergo only targeted MRI/US fusion-guided biopsies (TB), patients in the "combined" arm B receive systematic biopsies (SB) and TB. Statistical analysis for the detection rate of clinically significant and insignificant prostate cancers is composed of testing the non-inferiority and superiority of TB vs. TB+SB, respectively, using a global significance level of α = 0.05. Interventions that are conducted within the PRIMA trial include PSA testing, digital rectal examination of the prostate (DRE), multiparametric prostate MRI, systematic and MRI/US fusion-guided biopsies as well as MRI inbore biopsies. Arms A + B: Men with PI-RADS 4/5 and PI-RADS 3 in conjunction with PSAD \> 0.15 will be randomized into arm A or arm B and biopsied as explained above. Men with PI-RADS 3 and PSAD \> 0.15 with negative biopsy results will receive a follow-up MRI after 12 months. In case of upgrade to PI-RADS 4/5, men will be re-biopsied. Men with PI-RADS 4/5 without cancer diagnosis or with clinically insignificant cancer in the subsequent biopsy will be offered an additional MRI inbore biopsy. If MRI inbore biopsy is negative or with clinically insignificant cancer in men with PI-RADS 4/5, men will be followed-up with MRI after 12 months. In the case of persistent PI-RADS 4/5, men will be re-biopsied.
