Primary Endpoint
To Determine if Men With Prostate Cancer Have a Different Proteomic Profile Than Men Without Cancer. Cancer-free Status Will be Confirmed by a Re-biopsy at 6 Months to Reduce the Biopsy False Negative Rate to Less Than 5 %.

Study Overview

Brief Summary

This is a prospective, serum proteomics study of men who are to undergo prostate biopsy. The purpose is to determine if proteomic profiles can be used to distinguish between men with prostate cancer on biopsy from men with no cancer on biopsy.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Any period of prior/current treatment with hormonal therapy (LHRH agonist/antagonist,antiandrogen, 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor)
  • Prior pelvic radiation
  • A period of less than 6 months prior/current treatment with an alpha-blocker
  • Previous diagnosis of prostate cancer

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

To Determine if Men With Prostate Cancer Have a Different Proteomic Profile Than Men Without Cancer. Cancer-free Status Will be Confirmed by a Re-biopsy at 6 Months to Reduce the Biopsy False Negative Rate to Less Than 5 %.

Time Frame: conclusion of study

To Determine Whether the Peptide Proteomic Profile Can Improve the Predictive Ability of Known Serum Biomarkers (PSA (Free and Total), hK2 and Su-PAR) for Prostate Cancer.

Time Frame: conclusion of the study

Secondary Outcomes

  • To Determine if Caucasian Men and Men of African-American Descent With and Without Prostate Cancer Have Different Proteomic Profiles.(conclusion of the study)
  • To Assess Reproducibility of Proteomic Profiles Over Different Runs, Platforms, and Sites.(conclusion of the study)
  • To Procure a DNA Repository From These Patients Undergoing Prostate Biopsy for Future Assessment of Kallikrein Gene Expression.(conclusion of the study)
  • To Establish a Bank of DNA, Serum, and Frozen Lymphoblastoid Cells From These Patients for the Purpose of Enabling Genetic Investigations in Men With a Diagnosis of Prostate Cancer.(conclusion of the study)
