ART-Pro: Clinical Trial Evaluating Biparametric MRI and Advanced, Quantitative Diffusion MRI for Detection of Prostate Cancer (ART-Pro)

November 4, 2024 updated by: Tyler Seibert, University of California, San Diego

Advanced Restriction Imaging and Reconstruction Technology for Prostate MRI (ART-Pro)

This is a multicenter, multinational trial to evaluate advanced MRI techniques for improved detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa). The study will enroll 500 participants at 5 clinical centers (100 participants per center). The current standard MRI technique for prostate cancer screening is multiparametric MRI (mpMRI), but two drawbacks include need for intravenous (IV) contrast and dependence on radiologist expertise. The investigators expect that the combination of two other techniques, biparametric MRI (bpMRI) and Restriction Spectrum Imaging restriction score (RSIrs), will help non-expert radiologists achieve similar performance to expert radiologists using bpMRI or mpMRI for detection of csPCa, while avoiding the drawbacks that are present when using mpMRI.

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

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.

Detailed Description

ART-Pro will be conducted in two phases (ART-Pro-1 and ART-Pro-2) and will evaluate bpMRI, mpMRI, and RSIrs (an advanced quantitative diffusion technique), for detection of csPCa. ART-Pro-1 will evaluate these techniques prospectively, by having each patients' MRI exam read by 2 expert radiologists, both using different subsets of the images to evaluate the different techniques. ART-Pro-1 will additionally evaluate RSIrs as a stand-alone quantitative biomarker. ART-Pro-2 will evaluate these same techniques retrospectively using radiologists of varying experience levels (novice, basic, and expert), and findings will be evaluated against the expertly created dataset from ART-Pro-1. Patients will be followed after initial enrollment for the purpose of extracting relevant medical outcomes, such as biopsy results or surgery pathology.

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

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

Patients referred for a multiparametric prostate MRI at any of the five participating sites, with a clinical suspicion of prostate cancer and that meet all the inclusion/exclusion criteria

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • 18 years of age or older
  • Referred for mpMRI of the prostate for suspicion of prostate cancer
  • MRI is conducted using the standardized ART-Pro acquisition protocol

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Currently incarcerated
  • Previous diagnosis of prostate cancer
  • Active non-prostate tumor(s) in structures of the body near the prostate
  • Previous prostate surgery
  • History of hip implant
  • Metal implants or implanted devices in the body or other criteria that are deemed to require deviation from the usual acquisition protocol or scanning procedures

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.
ART-Pro-1
Diagnostic test: RSI MRI
In ART-Pro-1, patients receive standard of care mpMRI, with addition of the RSI sequence, and subsets of the patients' images are read separately by two expert radiologists at the center, one of whom is the standard of care radiologist (Reader 1). Three research reports are generated using: bpMRI only (Reader 1), mpMRI (Reader 1), and bpMRI + RSIrs (Reader 2). The clinical report is submitted by Reader 1. Patients' future prostate cancer management will be recorded and used to evaluate the performance of the MRI techniques being tested.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.

Time Frame: 6 months
6 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
