This study is looking at whether using a faster type of called bpMRI will improve cancer screening and lead to earlier detection of cancer in high risk men. The study is enrolling men with an , , , , HOX B13, or mutation.

Compared with traditional which requires an intravenous injection of gadalinium contrast, bpMRI requires no contrast and is faster, more cost-effective, and less invasive.

This Study is Open To:

Men 40 years to 55 years may be eligible if they:

  1. have a between 1.0 and 2.5 ng/dL.
  2. are considered at high-risk for cancer, including any of the following:
    • are Black,
    • have a  (father, brother or son) with cancer, or
    • have an in , , , , or any of the  genes (, , , , ).

This Study is NOT Open To:

Men are not eligible to participate if they:

  • have one or more firm lumps or hardened areas on the gland.
  • have already had a prior biopsy or surgery.  
  • are taking a testosterone blocker.
  • are unable to undergo an . 

This study will use bpMRI in conjunction with screening for the early detection of cancer in high-risk men.   

  • All study participants will undergo a bpMRI.
  • Study participants with negative bpMRI will be followed with annual screening.
  • Study participants with a positive bpMRI will have a biopsy performed.
    • Those with a benign biopsy will be followed with annual screening.
    • Those who have a biopsy positive for cancer will be managed and followed according to the standard of care.
  • Study participants will be followed for 5 years.
