Who can take part
- Cohort 1 - Biopsy guidance in clinically-suspected PCa
- Men aged 45 to 75 years old with clinically-suspected PCa candidated for either initial or repeat TRUS-guided prostate biopsy, meeting any of the following criteria:
- Abnormal PSA metrics, defined as follows:; A rising and/or persistently elevated serum PSA (i.e PSA > 2.5ng/ml for men in the age group comprising 60 to 75 years old; PSA > 3.0ng/ml for men in the age group comprising 45 to 60 years old) and at least one of the following PSA-based metrics:
- Percent free PSA (%fPSA) < 25% with PSA range 4-10ng/ml (NCCN); ii. PSA velocity (PSAvel) >0.35 ng/mL/y; iii. PSA density (PSAden) > 0.25ng/mL/cc iv. PSA > 10ng/ml, 50% risk of PCa (EAU) b) Suspicious digital rectal examination (DRE), 5-30% risk of PCa; c) Prostate Cancer Gene 3 (PCA3) > 35; d) Suspicious findings on first-round biopsy: i. A few Atypical Glands immediately adjacent to HG-PIN, 50% risk of PCa; ii. Atypical Small Acinar Proliferation, 40% of PCa; iii. Multifocal High-Grade Prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HG-PIN), 30% ; iv. Intraductal carcinoma as solitary finding, 90% of PCa; Cohort 2 - Biopsy guidance on Active Surveillance; Men consenting to enter the PRIAS MRI side-study as per currently inclusion criteria in Version Number 1.0 dated August 20, 2013. These are:
- Histologically-proven adenocarcinoma of the prostate
- Age ≥ 18
- Men should be fit for curative treatment
- Clinical stage T1c or T2
- Gleason score 3+3=6
- One or two biopsy cores invaded with prostate cancer:; If an MRI, including targeted biopsies on positive lesions, is done at inclusion, there is no limit in the number of positive cores (that is, more than two, and no limit in the % of cancer present in the cores); If saturation biopsies (either trans-perineal or trans-rectal) are done 15% of the cores can be positive with a maximum of 4 (i.e. 26 cores 4 cores can be positive) (all other inclusion criteria still apply)
- PSA density (PSA D) less than 0.2
- PSA-level at diagnosis ≤ 10 ng/mL; Cohort 3a - Pre-surgical TNM staging in high-risk prostate cancer
- Male, aged 18 years or older
- Cyto / histological confirmation of PCa (i.e. TRUS-guided biopsies; TURP)
- Any of the PCa high risk features for Organ-Confined Disease (OCD):; Clinical T stage ≥ T2c; Gleason Score ≥ 8; Serum PSA > 20 ng/mL
- Any of the PCa high-risk features for Locally-Advanced Disease (LAD):; Clinical T stage ≥ T3b-T4 OR any T and clinical N1 disease; Gleason Score ≥ 8; Serum PSA > 20 ng/mL
- Routine clinical staging (CTscan ± Bone scan) performed within 12 weeks enrolment returning negative or equivocal results for distant metastatic disease; Cohort 3b - pelvic TNM staging of prostate cancer prior to nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy
- Male, aged 18 years or older
- Cyto / histological confirmation of PCa (i.e. TRUS-guided biopsies; TURP)
- All of the following PCa-related features must be met for nerve-sparing (either mono- or bi-lateral):; Clinical T stage ≤ T2b; Gleason Score ≤ 7 (3+4) and maximum one biopsy with Gleason > 6 at the ipsilateral side; Serum PSA < 10 ng/mL
Who cannot take part
- Hormone androgen deprivation therapy of any type within 6 months prior to enrollment
- Prior pelvic radiotherapy
- Contraindication to MRI, including but not restricted to: pacemaker or other electronic im-plants, known metal in the orbit, MR incompatible surgical or cerebral aneurysm clips, shrapnel, tattoos, non-removable body piercings (relative contraindications)
- Sickle cell disease
- Hip prosthesis, vascular grafting or other conditions affecting imaging
- History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic com-position to 68Ga-PSMA or Gadolinium-based contrast agents used in the study
- Insufficient renal function (eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2)
- The participant may not enter the study if ANY of the following apply:

About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
BIOPSTAGE is a prospective, non-randomized, diagnostic, multi-cohort investigational study to evaluate the impact of pelvic Multi-parametric 3-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (mp-3TMRI) and whole-body 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT for diagnosis of clinically-significant prostate cancer and pre-surgical staging.
The 4 groups in the trial

- Cohort 2Other group
Men framed in Active Surveillance (PRIAS study), scheduled for PRIAS repeat biopsy.
Treatment: pelvic MRI and 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT
- Cohort 3aOther group
Men with high-risk PCa (HR-PCa) prior to radical surgery.
Treatment: pelvic MRI and 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT
- Cohort 3bOther group
Men diagnosed with CS-PCa prior to nerve-sparing prostate surgery (NSS).
Treatment: pelvic MRI and 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT
