Diagnosis
Multicenter randomized controlled trial

Study type: Interventional

Study phase: N/A

Overall status: Recruiting

Study design:

Allocation: Randomized

Intervention model: Parallel Assignment

Primary purpose: Diagnostic

Masking: Single (Outcomes Assessor)

Intervention:

Intervention type: Procedure
Intervention name: MRI-AI guided cognitive prostate targeted biopsy
Description: Before prostate biopsy, the MR images of patients in the AI-cTB group were uploaded to the AI software. Then the images with suspicious lesions highlighted by AI software were viewed by urologists. Biopsies were performed under the guidance of TRUS through the transrectal or transperineal route.
Arm group label: MRI-AI-guided cTB (AI-cTB) group

Intervention type: Procedure
Intervention name: Routine cognitive prostate targeted biopsy
Description: Before prostate biopsy, the MR images and reports were viewed by urologists preceding the biopsy. Biopsies were performed under the guidance of TRUS through the transrectal or transperineal route.
Arm group label: Routine cTB group

Summary: The goal of this multicenter clinical trial is to compare the cancer detection rates of MRI artificial intelligence-guided cTB (AI-cTB) and routine cTB, and explore the added value of using AI for the guidance of cTB. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does AI-cTB promote the accurate diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer? What's the value of prostate MRI artificial intelligence assistant diagnosis system in developing the best scheme of prostate biopsy? What's the value of prostate MRI artificial intelligence assistant diagnosis system in predicting the pathological results of prostate targeted biopsy? What's the generalizability of the MRI artificial intelligence assistant diagnosis system? Researchers will compare the cancer detection rates of AI-cTB and routine cTB to explore the added value of using AI for the guidance of cTB. Participants will: Receive AI-cTB or routine cTB.

Detailed description: Cognitive fusion MRI-guided targeted biopsy (cTB) has been widely used in the diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa). However, cTB relies heavily on the operator's experience and confidence in MRI readings. Our previously single-center RCT has demonstrated the effectiveness of accurately detecting clinically significant PCa (csPCa). The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the cancer detection rates of MRI artificial intelligence-guided cTB (AI-cTB) and routine cTB, and explore the added value of using AI for the guidance of cTB. This multicenter RCT aims to further validate the ability of MRI artificial intelligence in different institutions and investigate the generalizability of the MRI artificial intelligence assistant diagnosis system. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does AI-cTB promote the accurate diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer? What's the value of prostate MRI artificial intelligence assistant diagnosis system in developing the best scheme of prostate biopsy? What's the value of prostate MRI artificial intelligence assistant diagnosis system in predicting the pathological results of prostate targeted biopsy? What's the generalizability of the MRI artificial intelligence assistant diagnosis system? This multicenter RCT compared the csPCa detection rates of the AI-cTB and routine cTB. Participants were prospectively enrolled at Peking University First Hospital (Beijing, China), Beijing Miyun District Hospital (Beijing, China), and Shanghai East Hospital (Shanghai, China) from May 2024 to April 2025. Participants were randomly allocated to AI-cTB group and routine cTB group. Researchers will compare the cancer detection rates of AI-cTB and routine cTB to explore the added value of using AI for the guidance of cTB. Participants will: Receive AI-cTB or routine cTB.

Criteria for eligibility:
Criteria:

The time interval between the two prostate biopsies should be longer than three months. - The targeted prostate biopsy pathological results of above lesions were complete. The time interval between targeted prostate biopsy and prostate mpMRI examination should not exceed one month. - Patients with complete clinical information. Exclusion Criteria: - The mpMRI data was unqualified or incomplete. - Patients had received radiotherapy, chemotherapy, androgen deprivation therapy, or surgery treatment before prostate mpMRI examination or prostate biopsy. - The mpMRI did not find suspicious prostate lesions. - Patients were not in accordance with the indication of prostate biopsy or were not received systematic biopsy combined with targeted biopsy. - The patients could not cooperate to complete the systematic biopsy combined with targeted biopsy. The patients or their family members refused to participate in this study. - Patients with incomplete clinical information.
