Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
To evaluate the role of biparametric MRI and image-fusion targeted biopsies for the detection of prostate cancer. To determine whether biparametric MRI (bpMRI) could be recommended as an alternative to multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) for the detection of clinically significant prostate cancers in patients at risk. To determine whether image-fusion targeted biopsy is better than visual-registration (cognitive) targeted biopsy at detecting clinically significant prostate cancers in patients requiring prostate biopsy due to a suspicious MRI.

- type
- NO_INTERVENTION
- label
- Standard: mpMRI
- description
- Participants will undergo mpMRI. Blinding will not be possible. Once the MRI report is issued, the local clinical team will make a decision about advising whether a biopsy is necessary or not.
- type
- ACTIVE_COMPARATOR
- label
- Intervention 1: bpMRI
- description
- Participants will undergo bpMRI. Blinding will not be possible. Once the MRI report is issued, the local clinical team will make a decision about advising whether a biopsy is necessary or not.
- interventionNames
- Diagnostic Test: bpMRI
- type
- NO_INTERVENTION
- label
- Standard: Visual estimation targeted and systematic biopsy
- description
- Randomisation 2 will only be relevant if participants are advised by their clinical team to have a biopsy based on their MRI and other clinical factors. Participants advised to have a biopsy will undergo a visual estimation targeted biopsy
