Clinical Evaluation of the PROGENSA(R) PCA3 Assay in Men With a Previous Negative Biopsy Result
PCA3 is a gene that is highly over-expressed in more than 90% of prostate cancers, and that
can be quantified in urine specimens following a digital rectal examination. Studies have
shown that because PCA3 is highly specific for prostate cancer, it predicts the results of
repeat biopsies more accurately than traditional prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing.
Gen-Probe's PROGENSA(R) PCA3 assay is the first urine-based molecular diagnostic assay for
prostate cancer.
Interventional
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Diagnostic
Association of PCA3 Score With Prostate Biopsy Outcome (PCA3 Score Using Cutoff of 25.)
The likelihood of positive biopsy was determined by the PCA3 Score expressed as a binary categorical variable: PCA3 Score >=25 was positive, PCA3 Score <25 was negative
At the time of biopsy
No
