Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main study parameter is the number of patients with a positive difference in Gleason grade (upgrading) of follow-up MRGB versus inclusion TRUSGB (expected to be 22% or higher in first year of follow-up and hopefully lower at the end of the first year and in the fourth year of follow-up) versus the number of patients with a positive difference in Gleason grade (upgrading) of repeat TRUS-GB versus inclusion TRUS-GB (expected round 12% in first year of follow-up and hopefully lower at the end of the first year and in the fourth of follow-up). This maij study parameter will be determined at baseline ( 2 months), and at 1 and four years of follow-up. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary study parameters include: The number of cancers included in the PRIAS study that are visible on MRI. The number of delayed interventions based on patient request after incorporation of MRI. Other study parameters are the mean progression free survival, the disease specific mortality and overall mortality, the incidence of (lymfogenic) metastasis in monitored population, the correlation of PCA3 values with progression of low-grade prostate cancer | — |
