NV-VPAC1 Prostate Cancer Urine Diagnostic test
Brief summary
This is a double-blind, study to evaluate the performance of NV-VPAC1 PCa Urine Diagnostic Test in three distinct populations being treated at the Intermountain Urology Clinic. The first population (positive control) is comprised of men with biopsy-confirmed PCa who are scheduled for prostatectomy. The second population (negative control) is comprised of men with benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) who are scheduled for transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). The third population (negative control) is comprised of men or women with bladder/kidney stones who are scheduled for a cystoscopy.
Interventions
The NV-VPAC1 PCa Urine Diagnostic Test is intended for use by clinicians to detect the presence of prostate cancer cells shed in voided urine of men at risk for prostate cancer.
