Official title Evaluation of the Performance of a Novel Prostate Biopsy System Compared With Standard of Care Biopsy Needle on Quantitative and Qualitative Tissue Parameters
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT05470127
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Currently used biopsy devices do not predictably obtain full cores of tissue and the tissue obtained is often fragmented and disrupted making it difficult for pathological review. This post-market study will assess the utility of the SUREcore biopsy needle and the coreCARE specimen retrieval device versus a standard of care biopsy needle and the typical tissue container used in urology offices and clinics today.
