Multiparametric Ultrasound for the Diagnosis of Clinically Significant Prostate Cancer
Conditions: Prostate Carcinoma
Sex: Male
Ages: 18 Years – N/A
Healthy volunteers: No
Phase: PHASE3
Enrollment: 300
Sponsor: Thomas Jefferson University
Location: Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University Philadelphia Pennsylvania
Summary
This phase III trial compares the use of contrast-enhanced multiparametric ultrasound (mp-US) to multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mp-MRI) for the diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer (PCa). A mp-US is a procedure in which a probe that sends out high-energy sound waves is inserted into the rectum. The sound waves are bounced off internal tissues or organs and make echoes. The echoes form a picture of body tissue called a sonogram. Perflutren lipid michrosphere (Definity) is a contrast agent that uses microbubbles to enhance ultrasound images of the prostate. Doctors hope to learn if the Definity-enhanced mp-US imaging technique can accurately direct targeted biopsy for the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer when compared to standard of care mp-MRI.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
* Subject must be scheduled for a prostate biopsy, based on an elevated PSA (\> 3.0ng/ml) per most recent National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) guidelines, elevated PSA velocity (\> 0.75ng/ml/year), or abnormal digital rectal examination
* Subject must be able and willing to give written informed consent for a contrast enhanced ultrasound study of the prostate including the additional study biopsies
* Subject must be a male at least 18 years of age when informed consent is obtained
Exclusion Criteria:
* Participant in a clinical trial involving an investigational drug within the past 30 days
* Patients with known or suspected hypersensitivity to perflutren, polyethylene glycol (PEG), or any other component of Definity
* Previous treatment for prostate cancer, including hormone therapy
* Clinically unstable, severely ill, or moribund as per treating physician
