Micro-UltraSound In Cancer - Active Surveillance (NCT05558241)

Micro-UltraSound In Cancer - Active Surveillance (MUSIC-AS)

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic โš™๏ธ Medical Device Protocol Sponsor: University of Alberta

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

This study will compare the two imaging modalities (MRI and micro-ultrasound) during Active Surveillance of prostate cancer (PCa). Progression to clinically significant PCa will be assessed by first taking micro-US targeted samples (while blinded to MRI results), followed by MRI targeted samples, finishing with 12 systematic biopsy cores. The primary goal is to compare microUS to MRI for the detection of โ‰ฅGG2 PCa at confirmatory biopsy. This study will also collect blood samples from participants to be used for future biomarker studies.
