Investigation of Three Biomarkers for the Detection of Prostate Cancer

Recruiting now

Conditions studied: Cancer of Prostate

In brief

GlycoScore Dx Limited, a diagnostics company based in the United Kingdom have identified three glycoproteins, that showed promise as biomarkers of prostate cancer in initial validation studies. The purpose of this study is to further evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the GlycoScore biomarkers for the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer. Sensitivity and specificity will be determined for each marker, combinations of the three markers and combinations of the GlycoScore biomarkers with PSA (prostate specific antigen). The results from this study will be used to identify the most suitable biomarker/biomarkers for use in developing a GlycoScore test. This is a prospective, non-interventional study using venous blood samples taken from patients with suspected prostate cancer or on active surveillance, attending the hospital Urology department for a transperineal biopsy.
