Abstract

ReIMAGINE Screening is a single-centre study assessing the feasibility of biparametric magnetic resonance imaging as a screening tool for prostate cancer. The study outcomes will take us a step towards more accurate and less harmful prostate cancer screening.

Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT04063566.

ReIMAGINE Prostate Cancer Screening: Study Design. ReIMAGINE Screening is recruiting eligible men from partner general practitioner (GP) surgeries. Each participant will receive a prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood test and a research MRI of the prostate consisting of biparametric clinical sequences (axial T2-weighted and diffusion-weighted acquisitions) and research-specific sequences. Clinical sequences will be used to determine screen status within the study. A screen-positive result is defined as a suspicious lesion on biparametric MRI or PSA density of ≥0.12 ng/mL/cm3 using MRI-derived prostate volume. All screen-positive participants will be invited to undergo standard-of-care prostate cancer investigations. MRI = magnetic resonance imaging; NHS = National Health Service; eCRF = electronic case report form.
