This study is testing a new tool called a needle holder frame, which helps guide the needle during an MRI-guided prostate biopsy. The goal is to see if this frame can accurately collect tissue samples from areas in your prostate that look suspicious on an MRI. If it works well, it could make routine biopsies safer and more precise. You might be eligible if you are a man over 30 with a high PSA (prostate-specific antigen) level, a suspicious lump found during an exam, or a suspicious area on a prostate MRI. The study will enroll about 15 participants and is currently unclear on its recruitment status. Success for this study means the needle holder frame accurately places the biopsy needle.

Study design

This is an interventional study involving about 15 male participants. It compares the use of a needle holder frame to a conventional needle-guiding template during a routine MRI-guided prostate biopsy.

What's involved

You would undergo a routine MRI-guided prostate biopsy procedure using the investigational needle holder frame. This involves lying still in an MRI scanner, potentially with anesthesia or sedation, while tissue samples are taken.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Accuracy of needle placement is measured during the MRI-guided prostate biopsy procedure. No further follow-up is specified.
