Abstract

There is a clinical need to improve assessment of biopsy-naïve patients for the presence of clinically significant prostate cancer (PCa). In this study, we investigated whether the robust integration of expression data from urinary extracellular vesicle RNA (EV-RNA) with urine proteomic metabolites can accurately predict PCa biopsy outcome. Urine samples collected within the Movember GAP1 Urine Biomarker study (n = 192) were analysed by both mass spectrometry-based urine-proteomics and NanoString gene-expression analysis (167 gene-probes). Cross-validated LASSO penalised regression and Random Forests identified a combination of clinical and urinary biomarkers for predictive modelling of significant disease (Gleason Score (Gs) ≥ 3 + 4). Four predictive models were developed: ‘MassSpec’ (CE-MS proteomics), ‘EV-RNA’, and ‘SoC’ (standard of care) clinical data models, alongside a fully integrated omics-model, deemed ‘ExoSpec’. ExoSpec (incorporating four gene transcripts, six peptides, and two clinical variables) is the best model for predicting Gs ≥ 3 + 4 at initial biopsy (AUC = 0.83, 95% CI: 0.77–0.88) and is superior to a standard of care (SoC) model utilising clinical data alone (AUC = 0.71, p < 0.001, 1000 resamples). As the ExoSpec Risk Score increases, the likelihood of higher-grade PCa on biopsy is significantly greater (OR = 2.8, 95% CI: 2.1–3.7). The decision curve analyses reveals that ExoSpec provides a net benefit over SoC and could reduce unnecessary biopsies by 30%.
