Two-Part Prospective Study to Measure Impact of Prolaris® Testing Added to Treatment Decision Following Biopsy in Newly Diagnosed Prostate Cancer Patients to Measure Prediction of Progression/Recurrence in Men Treated at VAMC

This is a prospective study to measure the impact on first-line therapy of genomic testing of biopsy tissue from recently diagnosed treatment-naïve patients with early stage localized prostate cancer. Multiple individual VAMC sites will participate in PART 1 of the study. During PART 1 of the study, a three-part questionnaire will be completed to evaluate the PRE-Prolaris test treatment plan, the POST-Prolaris test treatment plan, and the ACTUAL treatment option. Using PRE-Prolaris Test Questionnaire #1 the physician will record the recommendation for first-line therapy based on standard clinical-pathological parameters (PSA, Gleason score, clinical stage and percent positive cores). The likelihood of recommending a non-interventional therapy approach will also be recorded using a 10-point ordinal scale. A sample of the biopsy tissue will then be tested using the Prolaris® genomic test and a relative cancer aggressiveness score will be shared with the physician. After reviewing and considering the results of the genomic testing and after patient consultation, the physician will complete POST-Prolaris Questionnaire #2 documenting the planned treatment ( interventional treatment or non-interventional). Approximately 6 months from the date of the test results, ACTUAL Treatment Questionnaire #3 will be completed to document the actual treatment administered.

PART 2 of this study is a prospective evaluation of the prognostic utility of Prolaris® testing of prostate biopsy samples obtained from men who participate in PART 1of the study and who undergo radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy or who are managed with WW or AS. The central VAMC site will be responsible for PART 2; individual VAMC sites will not participate in this part of the study. Patients will be followed using medical record review every 6 months for objective progression (BCR, radiographic or radionuclide evidence of metastases or disease specific mortality) through 5 years.
