The purpose of the study is to collect information on prostrate biopsy tissue for use in developing a method determining the difference in normal and cancerous prostrate tissue using the ClariCore System.
The purpose of this study is to collect information on prostrate tissue biopsies using the ClariCore System. The ClariCore system is designed to improve how the tissue samples are being collected from the prostrate by using light sensors (fiber optics) that can see changes in the tissue. Researchers will study the data collected from the light sensor (optical readings) to develop a method (like a mathematical equation) that can be used to tell the difference between normal and cancerous prostrate tissue during the biopsy. What the researchers are hoping to learn from this study is if a light guided biopsy procedure can improve the accuracy of prostrate biopsy sampling.

Primary Effectiveness
Correlate histopathology of tissue biopsy core samples with corresponding spectral data obtained in vivo for algorithm training at time of procedure.
Time frame: Ath the time of procedure
Assessment of Pain
Pain shall be reported based on the patient-reported level of pain during the ClariCore System procedure and at 7 and 30 days post-procedure as measured on a 10 point numerical rating scale (NRS).
Time frame: Up to 30 days post-procedure
Incidence and frequency of adverse events
The secondary safety endpoint is the incidence and frequency of all Adverse Event's (both related and unrelated to the ClariCore System) reported during the study.
Time frame: Up to 30 days post-procedure
