Proclarix for Prostate Cancer Risk Identification
This study is looking at a blood test called Proclarix to help identify the risk of aggressive prostate cancer. Proclarix combines two special markers (thrombospondin 1 and cathepsin D) with standard prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels to give a risk score. The goal is to see how well Proclarix works in a diverse group of men in the United States compared to the results from a prostate biopsy. You might be able to join if you are a man between 40 and 75 years old and have a PSA level between 2 and 10 ng/mL. The study aims to enroll 500 participants. The main goal is to compare the Proclarix test results with your biopsy results within 90 days of joining.
- Study design
- This is an observational study involving up to 500 men across multiple clinics in the US. It is a single-group study, meaning all participants will receive the same diagnostic test.
- What's involved
- You will provide a blood sample before your scheduled prostate biopsy. Your biopsy will be performed as usual by your doctor.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- Your biopsy results will be collected up to 90 days after you join the study.

What this trial measures
- Assess the clinical performance of Proclarix® in a United States (US) cohort when compared to the biopsy results.From enrollment to the collection of prostate biopsy results at 90 days
Evaluate Proclarix®'s clinical performance, specifically NPV to predict the absence of csPCa on prostate biopsy.
