Pros and Cons of the ReIMAGINE Trial – Summary
Matthew R. Cooperberg, MD, MPH, discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the Risk and Screening arms of the ongoing ReIMAGINE trial. He begins by describing the two arms of the study, ReIMAGINE Screening and ReIMAGINE Risk, and then focuses on the Screening arm, digging into the participant data.
Dr. Cooperberg addresses the sequence of screening tests in the ReIMAGINE trial, and reasserts the value of PSA as an initial screening marker, using supporting evidence from the ongoing STHLM3-MRI trial. He then briefly touches on ReIMAGINE Risk, noting that it will be useful as a biorepository in the future.
While ReIMAGINE Screening shows PSA with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is better than PSA alone, Dr. Cooperberg reiterates that, as an initial screening marker, PSA <1 (or 1.5) is tough to beat. Dr. Cooperberg explains that MRI is useful for helping to guide biopsy and is acceptable as a second screening tool. However, other markers are more effective and less expensive in the United States.
