ReIMAGINE Prostate Cancer Risk

March 21, 2023 updated by: University College, London

A Prospective Cohort Study in Men With a Suspicion of Prostate Cancer Who Are Referred Onto an MRI-based Diagnostic Pathway With Donation of Tissue, Blood and Urine for Biomarker Analyses (ReIMAGINE Prostate Cancer Risk)

ReIMAGINE Prostate Cancer Risk is a multi-centre, prospective, observational, longitudinal cohort study of men referred to secondary care with a suspicion of prostate cancer. The aim of the study is to develop a robust baseline risk stratification system for men at risk of prostate cancer.

Men whose serum Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) level is 20ng/ml or less, whose multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) scan has been scored as Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PIRADS)/LIKERT score 3, 4 or 5, and who have been advised and accepted the need for a targeted and systematic prostate biopsy will be invited to take part in the study and be asked to donate blood, urine, imaging files and prostate biopsy for biomarker analysis.

Detailed Description

ReIMAGINE Prostate Cancer Risk is a multi-centre, prospective, observational, longitudinal cohort study of men referred to secondary care with a suspicion of prostate cancer or men who are undergoing further tests for prostate cancer staging assessment. Men with a serum PSA level of 20ng/ml or less, whose mpMRI scan has been scored as PIRADS/LIKERT score 3, 4 or 5, and who have been advised and accepted the need for a targeted and systematic prostate biopsy will be invited to enrol.

Men will be recruited across a number of high-volume National Health Service (NHS) centres which already have an mpMRI based diagnostic pathway. All eligible patients referred to secondary care with a suspicion on prostate cancer will be considered for screening. Potential participants will be identified at the point of referral or routine urology cancer clinics. Patients will be approached by the ReIMAGINE study team and consented. The initial discussion may be over the telephone Once the consent form is signed, patients will be asked to donate blood, urine and three additional samples of prostate tissue (taken at the time of their biopsy) for biomarker and Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) analysis.

Imaging files from the MRI scan will also be collected and stored on the study data warehouse. Small sections of tissue will be cut from the standard of care blocks (post NHS reporting) and then returned back to the hospital.

After collection of the cross-sectional biological samples within ReIMAGINE, men will revert to NHS standard of care, attending a routine outpatient appointment to obtain the results from their biopsy. We will collect healthcare information on study participants during the study and three years after their prostate biopsy. Further funding will be explored for life-long collection of this data.

The ReIMAGINE team aim to recruit 1,000 men with a PIRADs/LIKERT score 3, 4 or 5 who are undergoing an MRI-directed prostate biopsy. Of these 1,000 biopsies, we anticipate that 60% will have any cancer detected on histology (3+3 or greater) giving approximately 400 cases of clinically significant cancer (Gleason 7 or more).

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 90 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Male

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Men who have been referred to secondary care with a suspicion of prostate cancer

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Any man with PSA 20 or less (value recorded <90 days before study entry)
  • Men who have undergone a prostate MRI as a standard NHS diagnostic work-up
  • MRI lesion conforming to Likert/PIRADS 3, 4 or 5
  • Radiological stage T3b or less

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Cohort Observation
This is a cohort study where participating men will be asked to donate blood, urine, tissue in addition to access to standard of care tissue and medical data (including imaging files). Men will also consent to longer term healthcare data linkage.
Other: Tissue donation
Biopsies will be performed as part of standard of care, additional cores will be performed for research. Access to standard of care prostate biopsy tissue will also be requested after standard of care reporting is complete.
Other: Blood Donation
Phlebotomy will be performed prior to tissue collection following trust standard operating procedures or drawn when cannula already in situ in preparation for the prostate biopsy.
Other: Urine Donation
Urine will be collected prior to prostate biopsy
Other: Healthcare data linkage
Men will consent to healthcare data linkage via national databases.
