Study Details

Brief summary:

The study is a prospective, multi-center, single cohort study involving up to 10 urological clinics in the US. After provision of informed consent, up to 20 mL of whole blood will be collected from each subject. The samples will be blinded and sent to Labcorp for evaluation using the Proclarix® assay. If a prostate biopsy is performed, it will be performed according to standard clinical practice of the urologist (systematic, targeted, or combined biopsy with a transrectal or transperineal approach with or without prior magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)). A minimum of 10 cores is required if a systematic biopsy is performed. Histopathological examination of the biopsy specimen will be performed according to the established local practice. A csPCa is defined as ISUP Grade Group ≥2 detected on biopsy.

Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

Prostate cancer suspected

Subjects with an elevated PSA (2-10) planning to undergo prostate biopsy

Interventions

Proclarix

Proclarix® is a blood-based test that addresses the problem of prostate cancer (PCa) overdiagnosis by indicating the risk of clinically significant disease. It is comprised of two novel biomarkers, thrombospondin 1 (THBS1) and cathepsin D (CTSD), and is combined with total prostate-specific antigen (tPSA), free PSA (fPSA) and age.

Primary outcome measure

  • Assess the clinical performance of Proclarix® in a United States (US) cohort when compared to the biopsy results. [ Time Frame: From enrollment to the collection of prostate biopsy results at 90 days ]
