Study Summary

This trial will help researchers understand if a certain type of genetic testing can help improve treatment for prostate cancer patients, as well as how best to use this testing in the future.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for men 18 or older with newly diagnosed favorable risk prostate cancer, having a PSA level below 20 ng/ml. Participants must have had a diagnostic biopsy within the last 9 months and have available tissue samples. It's suitable for those with Grade Group 1 cancer involving more than two biopsy cores or Grade Group 2 cancer. Men who've already had gene expression classifier testing or any prostate cancer treatment are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The G-MAJOR study is evaluating the impact of Gene Expression Classifier (GEC) tests like Prolaris, Decipher, and Oncotype Dx GPS on managing prostate cancer compared to standard care based on askMUSIC scores. The goal is to refine how these genomic tests are used in clinical practice and set up future research.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial focuses on genomic testing rather than drug interventions, traditional side effects associated with medications aren't expected. However, there may be some risks related to data privacy and potential emotional impacts from learning about one's genetic risk factors.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Active Control
Group I: Standard of care (no pre-treatment genomics testing)Active Control1 Intervention
Provider will discuss askMUSIC results with patient prior to deciding on a management strategy (standard of care).
Group II: Standard of care + pre-treatment genomics testingActive Control4 Interventions
Provider will discuss askMUSIC and Gene Expression Classifier (GEC) results with patient prior to deciding on a cancer management strategy. Patients' biopsy tissue will be analyzed using one of the following GECs: Decipher, Prolaris or Oncotype Dx.
