Details and patient eligibility

About

The rationale of the PROCEDE trial is to explore a novel early detection strategy in which biopsy decision does not rely on one single MRI examination, but on the progression of the MRI lesion between 2 consecutive exams, with the objective of reducing the number of unnecessary biopsies, detection of non-clinically prostate cancer and, ultimately, overtreatment.

No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

  • Men aged over 18 years
  • Men with an estimated life expectancy of more than 10 years
  • Biopsy-naïve men
  • PSA level ≤ 20 ng/ml
  • Presence, on the first multiparametric prostate MRI, of a PIRADS 3-5 lesion confirmed by local rereading if the MRI was performed outside the center
  • MRI of sufficient quality (PI-QUAL score 2-3)
  • PIRADS 3 lesion with a PSA density <0.15 ng/ml/ml
  • No signs of extracapsular extension or seminal vesicle invasion (MRI stage T2 confirmed by local rereading if MRI performed outside the center)
  • No suspicious lymph node (confirmed by local rereading if MRI performed outside the center)
  • Patient is insured (affiliated with the national health insurance system or benefiting from such coverage)
  • Signed informed consent form

Exclusion criteria

  • Men already under surveillance for a known MRI lesion (except if the previous MRI was performed less than 6 months ago)
  • Known mutation in DNA repair genes or suggestive family history
  • PIRADS 3 lesion with PSA density < 0.15 ng/ml/ml
  • PIRADS 5 lesion with suspected extracapsular extension or seminal vesicle invasion
  • Suspicion of lymph node involvement
  • Multiparametric prostate MRI showing a PIRADS 1-2 lesion
  • Use of treatments that may modify the appearance of MRI lesions: 5-alpha reductase inhibitors, hormone therapy
  • Patient with severe renal insufficiency (GFR < 30 ml/min/1.73 m²)
  • Contraindication to gadolinium injection
  • Contraindication to prostate biopsy
  • Vulnerable persons (covered by Articles L1111-6 to L1111-8 of the French Public Health Code)
