Brief summary

1. Using multiparametric MRI Ultrasound-guided or MRI-guided biopsies will allow more accurate sampling of the tumors and therefore will increase the rate of progression on early (first and second) surveillance biopsies and decrease the rate of progression on late (third and further) surveillance biopsies compared to Transrectal Ultrasound-guided biopsies. 2. Quality of life (QoL) will be similar in patients undergoing MRI Ultrasound or MRI-guided and Transrectal Ultrasound-guided biopsies. 3. Biomarker expression levels will correlate with biopsy progression.

Detailed description

Favorable risk patients will be randomized to one of two active surveillance arms. Stratification will be based on Prostate-specific antigen density (PSAD) (=\< 0.15 vs \> 0.15 ng/mL per mL), and number of positive cores in the diagnostic biopsy (1 vs 2): * Arm I: Active Surveillance Alone (AS). TRUS guided biopsies at start (within 6 months of enrollment) and at yearly intervals thereafter up to 36 months after the initial biopsy (maximum four biopsies). * Arm II: MRI-Managed Active Surveillance (MRI-AS). MRIus or MRI-guided biopsies at start (within 6 months of enrollment) and at yearly intervals thereafter up to 36 months after the initial biopsy (maximum four biopsies). Patients will also complete Quality of Life (QoL) assessments to provide unique data on the effects of MRI monitoring for patients undergoing active surveillance on QOL. The investigators have selected a group of measures that have been used extensively in prostate cancer populations.

Interventions

PROCEDURETransrectal Ultrasound-Guided Biopsy

Active Surveillance Alone (AS). Transrectal Ultrasound-guided biopsies within 6 months of enrollment and at 1 year intervals thereafter (maximum four biopsies).

PROCEDUREMRI Ultrasound Biopsy

MRI-Managed Active Surveillance (MRI-AS). MRI Ultrasound or MRI-guided biopsies within 6 months of enrollment and at 1 year intervals thereafter (maximum four biopsies)

BEHAVIORALExpanded Prostate Cancer index Composite Questionnaire

Quality of life questionnaire obtained at Baseline, and at 12, 24 and 36 months after initial biopsy

BEHAVIORALShort-Form 12 of Health Related Quality of Life Questionnaire

Quality of life questionnaire obtained at Baseline, and at 12, 24 and 36 months after initial biopsy

BEHAVIORALMemorial Anxiety Scale for Prostate Cancer

Quality of life questionnaire obtained at Baseline, and at 12, 24 and 36 months after initial biopsy

PROCEDUREPlasma/Serum Sample for biomarkers

Plasma/Serum Sample for biomarkers obtained at Baseline, and at 12, 24 and 36 months after initial biopsy for correlative studies (CTC, fcDNA, SNPs)

Urine Sample for biomarkers obtained at Baseline, and at 12, 24, and 36 months for correlative studies (hypermethylated DNA)

PROCEDUREBlood Tests for Blood Urea Nitrogen and Creatinine

Blood Tests for Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) and Creatinine obtained at 0 - 6 months, and at 12, 24, and 36 months from initial biopsy. This is optional, subject may refuse

PROCEDUREBlood Test for Serum PSA

Blood test for Serum PSA obtained at Baseline, at every 6 months up to 36 months from initial biopsy.

Inclusion criteria

* Biopsy confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate. * Biopsy must consist of at least 8 cores. * Enrollment is =\< 1 year from diagnosis. * One or two biopsy cores with less than 50% tumor present in each core and Gleason score =\< 6 (3+3). * Candidate for multiparametric MRI. * T1-T2a disease based on digital rectal exam. * No concurrent, active malignancy, other than nonmetastatic skin cancer or early stage chronic lymphocytic leukemia (well-differentiated small cell lymphocytic lymphoma).

If a prior malignancy is in remission for \< 5 years then the patient is ineligible * Inability to understand or unwilling to sign a written informed consent document. * Zubrod performance status \>= 2. * Patient unwilling to fill out the psychosocial questionnaires. * Age \< 35 or \> 75.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Rate of Progression in Subjects undergoing MRIus Biopsy vs Standard Ultrasound biopsy42 monthsTo determine of multiparametric MRIus-guided biopsies increase the rate of progression on early (first two) biopsies in men undergoing active surveillance as compared with early detection using standard ultrasound biopsy.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Expression Levels of Biomarkers from biopsies collected with MRI-us Biopsy vs Standard Ultrasound Biopsy42 months
Effect of MRI Monitoring on Health-Related Quality of Life42 monthsTo determine the effect of MRI monitoring on health-related quality of life (HRQOL), prostate cancer-specific anxiety QOL (ie general, PSA-testing & recurrence anxiety, PC-Anxiety) and prostate cancer-specific QOL (ie sexual, urinary & bowel function, PC-QOL), particularly as they relate to ethnically and socioeconomically diverse and disparate populations.
