Scientific titlePROstate MRI Imaging Study (PROMIS): evaluation of multi-parametric magnetic imaging in the diagnosis and characterisation of prostate cancer
Study acronymPROMIS
Study hypothesis1. In men identified with clinical suspicion of prostate cancer, those with favourable MP-MRI results could safely avoid unnecessary biopsy
2. An MP-MRI based pathway can improve the rate of detection of clinically significant cancer as compared to TRUS biopsy
3. An MP-MRI based diagnostic pathway can be cost-effective

Ethics approval(s)North West London Research Ethics Committee, 16/03/2011, ref: 11/LO/0185
ConditionProstate cancer
InterventionAll patients will receive the same treatment - Multi-parametric MRI scan and the combined prostate biopsy procedure (Template Prostate Mapping biopsy [TPM], followed by Trans Rectal Ultrasound Biopsy [TRUS]).
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure1. Proportion of men who could safely avoid biopsy as determined by specificity and negative predictive values
2. Proportion of men correctly identified by MP-MRI to have clinically significant prostate cancer as determined by sensitivity and positive predictive values [an overall MP-MRI score will be given from 1-5 (definite benign 1, probably benign 2, indeterminate 3, probably malignant 4, definitely malignant 5), where the primary definition of a positive result is MP-MRI score of ≥3]
3. Primary definition of cancer according to biopsy: Dominant Gleason pattern ≥ 4 and/or cancer core length ≥ 6 mm
Secondary outcome measures1. Evaluation of MRI according to secondary definition of prostate cancer (Dominant Gleason pattern ≥ 4 and/or cancer core length ≥ 4 mm)
2. Evaluation of the optimal combination of MP-MRI parameters (T2, DW, DCE)
3. Cost-effectiveness
4. Inter-observer variation in the reporting of MP-MRI
5. Evaluation of factors associated with detection of clinically significant prostate cancer
6. Outcomes associated with translational work
