Health condition or problem studiedProstate neoplasm
InterventionsDevice: MRI
  • Diagnostic test: multiparametric MRI±prostate biopsy.

  • Diagnostic test: bpMRI±prostate biopsy.

Intervention description
  • Active comparator: mpMRI.

  • MRI with T2W, DWI and DCE followed by prostate biopsy if indicated on MRI and clinical findings.

  • Diagnostic test: mpMRI±prostate biopsy.

  • Experimental: bpMRI.

  • MRI with T2W and DWI followed by prostate biopsy if indicated on MRI and clinical findings.

  • Diagnostic test: bpMRI±prostate biopsy.

Key inclusion and exclusion criteriaInclusion criteria
  • Men at least 18 years of age referred with clinical suspicion of PCa.

  • Serum PSA ≤20 ng/mL.

  • Fit to undergo all procedures listed in the protocol.

  • Able to provide written informed consent.


Exclusion criteria
  • Prior prostate biopsy.

  • Prior treatment for PCa.

  • Prior prostate MRI on a previous encounter.

  • Contraindication to MRI.

  • Contraindication to prostate biopsy.

  • Unfit to undergo any procedures listed in the protocol.

Study typeInterventional
Allocation: non-randomised
Intervention model: single group assignment
Intervention model description: within-person controlled, paired cohort, diagnostic evaluation study; participants undergo two index tests and a reference test
Masking: single (care provider)
Masking description: Radiologist assessing MRI for suspicion of PCa is blinded to the contrast sequence when reporting the bpMRI. After this report, they are unblinded to the contrast sequence and report the multiparametric MRI. All biopsies conducted as a result of MRI findings will be labelled as bpMRI and mpMRI, and diagnostic accuracy will be assessed against histological findings.
Date of first enrolment5 April 2022
Target sample size500
Recruitment statusRecruiting
Primary outcome(s)Proportion of men with clinically significant cancer
Key secondary outcomes
  • Proportion of men with clinically insignificant cancer (Gleason score 3+3/Gleason grade group 1).

  • Agreement between bpMRI and mpMRI for score of suspicion.

  • Proportion of bpMRI scans and mpMRI whose quality was deemed adequate for reporting.

  • Agreement between bpMRI and mpMRI for radiological staging decision.

  • Agreement between bpMRI and mpMRI for treatment eligibility.

  • Test performance characteristics for bpMRI and mpMRI when using the Likert scoring system in comparison to the PI-RADS scoring system.

  • Proportion of men with clinically significant cancer missed by bpMRI and mpMRI-targeted biopsies and detected by systematic biopsy.

  • Cost-effectiveness of bpMRI compared with mpMRI (cost per diagnosis of PCa).
