Reduction of Prostate Biopsy Morbidity
NCT03913039 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Prostate biopsy is typically performed via either the transrectal or transperineal approach. This study is a case-control study being done to determine if a novel prostate biopsy protocol incorporating a transperineal approach, rectal swab to detect resistant bacteria and broad antibiotic prophylaxis will reduce infectious complications and hospital readmission compared to current biopsy practices.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03913039
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03913039 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 157 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Maimonides Medical Center, which has 11 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Prostate Cancer appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 1 intervention — of which Transperineal biopsy Protocol is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT03913039 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include New York. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
