R01 CA155301: Validation of Digital Morphometry for Cancer Risk in Benign Prostate Biopsies

The goal of this study is to apply cutting-edge imaging approaches, incorporating machine-learning for pattern recognition and multispectral analysis, to the development and validation of intermediate endpoint biomarkers in benign tissue that characterize the response to 5α-reductase inhibitor chemoprevention as well as the risk of prostate cancer among men with negative biopsies.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Effects of dutasteride (vs. placebo) using multi-feature scores derived from digital image analysis on both nuclear and architectural features in benign prostate tissue.
Time Frame: Year 4
Year 4

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Multivariable treatment-response score between subjects who develop PCa while on dutasteride and those who do not.
Time Frame: Year 4
Year 4
Magnitude of association between nuclear phenotype in benign biopsies, and subsequent risk of PCa in untreated men at elevated risk.
Time Frame: Year 4
Year 4
