Predicting Location and Extent of Prostate Cancer Using Micro-Ultrasound Imaging

Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
Prostate Cancer
Interventions
Device: ExactVu
Registration Number
NCT04981223
Lead Sponsor
Stanford University
Brief Summary

The goal of this study is to use a clinical micro-ultrasound to systematically image the prostate before biopsy or surgery. The images from the ultrasound system will be saved and compared to other imaging modalities and pathology in order to develop better tools.

Arm && Interventions
GroupInterventionDescription
ExactVu ImagingExactVuEV29L transducer will be inserted in the subject's rectum. Cine sweeps will be performed to save images of: 1. The entire prostate from posterior to anterior (may require 2 sweeps to cover base and apex) 2. The peripheral zone using the highest zoom setting (30mm depth) on the system (may require 2 sweeps to cover base and apex). Analysis of these images will be performed after surgery but before prostatectomy
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Micro-Ultrasound Detection of High Grade Prostate Cancer (Gleason Score ≥7) vs. Surgical PathologyFrom date of micro ultrasound exam until the date of Prostate biopsy data are obtained (average of 7 days

Evaluate the ability of micro-ultrasound to identify high grade prostate cancer foci (Gleason score ≥7) in comparison to final surgical pathology result (prostatectomy or biopsy)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Micro-Ultrasound Detection of Low Grade Prostate Cancer (Gleason Score 6)3 years

Evaluate the ability of micro-ultrasound to detect low grade prostate cancer foci (Gleason score 6)

Measuring correlation between Prostatectomy pathology and imaging correlation3 years

Perform a detailed pathologic and imaging correlation between findings on micro-ultrasound, MRI and final surgical histopathology in men who undergo prostatectomy

Prostate Cancer Border Identification Post-Prostatectomy3 years

Evaluate the ability of micro-ultrasound to identify the borders of prostate cancer foci in comparison to final surgical pathology result in men after prostatectomy.

Prostate Cancer Detection: Micro-Ultrasound vs. mpMRI Comparison3 years

Comparison of prostate cancer detection between micro-ultrasound and multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI).
