Recruiting studies
- NCT04700332RecruitingPhase 2
Test of PyL PET/CT for high-risk or returning prostate cancer
This Phase 2 study checks how well a scan called PyL PET/CT can help find prostate cancer that is high-risk or has come back by blood test. The goal is to improve how doctors detect spread and guide the next treatment steps.
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04725903Recruiting
Proton beam radiation for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests proton radiation therapy for people with high-risk prostate cancer. It may help by delivering radiation in a more targeted way, with the goal of controlling the cancer while reducing exposure to nearby healthy tissue.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04787744RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Test standard prostate cancer treatment with or without targeted spot radiation
This study tests whether adding targeted local treatment (like radiation to a few spots seen on scans) improves outcomes for some people with limited (oligometastatic) prostate cancer. It compares standard systemic therapy alone versus standard therapy plus PET-scan–guided spot treatment.
Long Beach, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04894188Recruiting
Hormone plus radiation before prostate surgery for high-risk cancer
This trial studies giving hormone treatment and radiation before prostate surgery to treat high-risk, locally advanced prostate cancer. It aims to improve cancer control by shrinking or controlling the tumor before removing it.
Douliu City/Huwei Township, Yunlin CountyAges 20–75 - NCT04947254RecruitingPhase 2
Add niraparib to hormone therapy after prostate radiation
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding niraparib to standard hormone therapy (androgen ablation) after radiation works better for men with high-risk, localized or locally advanced prostate cancer. It may help control the cancer for longer, while also collecting extra tissue and blood to study why the treatment works or doesn’t.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05019846RecruitingPhase 3
Radiation alone versus radiation plus hormone therapy for prostate cancer
This Phase 3 trial compares two treatment approaches: stereotactic radiation therapy by itself versus the same radiation plus hormone therapy (ADT). It aims to see which plan works better for men with higher-risk prostate cancer without spread to lymph nodes or distant sites.
Brescia, BSAges 18–80 - NCT05129605Recruiting
Prostate cancer genetic risk screening study for men
This study looks at your personal and family risk for prostate cancer and helps decide who should have extra screening like MRI. It may help you find cancer earlier if you are at higher genetic risk.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 35–74 - NCT05313815Recruiting
Test a stronger prostate radiation boost for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial studies whether giving a moderate “boost” dose of radiation to the prostate—along with radiation to the pelvic area—can better control high-risk localized prostate cancer. You may benefit if you have high-risk disease and can safely receive radiation.
Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT05344235Recruiting
Study of very short radiation schedules for prostate cancer
This observational study looks at how well men with localized prostate cancer do when treated with an unusually short radiation approach. It may help doctors understand which patients benefit most by tracking outcomes and imaging over time.
Leuven, Vlaams BrabantAges Any age - NCT05348876RecruitingPhase 4
Darolutamide plus standard hormone therapy for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial studies how safe darolutamide is and how well it works when added to standard hormone therapy for men with high-risk, non-metastatic prostate cancer that is no longer responding to hormone treatment. It may help slow prostate cancer growth and reduce prostate-specific antigen (PSA) rises in real-world care.
Vijayawada, Andhra PradeshAges 18 years+ - NCT05350475Recruiting
Prostate cancer radiotherapy with protons versus photons
This trial compares two types of radiation—protons versus photons—for high-risk localized prostate cancer. It aims to see which option works well while causing fewer problems for nearby organs.
Copenhagen, Capital RegionAges 18 years+ - NCT05352178RecruitingPhase 3
Targeted treatment for few-spread prostate cancer spots
This Phase 3 trial tests whether treating only a small number of prostate cancer metastases can help people with “oligorecurrent” (limited repeat) prostate cancer. It may reduce cancer activity while avoiding broader whole-body treatment for some patients.
LeuvenAges 18 years+ - NCT05361798RecruitingPhase 2
Testing immune response after prostate radiation with or without a drug
This study checks how your immune system’s cancer-fighting cells change after stereotactic body radiation (SBRT) to the prostate. It compares SBRT alone versus SBRT plus an immunotherapy drug (PDS01ADC) in men with intermediate- or high-risk localized prostate cancer treated with hormone therapy (ADT).
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT05384535Recruiting
Test a special MRI to screen high-risk prostate cancer
This study checks whether a detailed MRI method can help find prostate cancer earlier in people considered high risk. You may be asked to get an MRI and help the team see if it works well as a screening test.
Lake Success, New YorkAges 40–55 - NCT05396872Recruiting
Decision-making study about gene testing for advanced prostate cancer
This study looks at how Veterans with advanced prostate cancer make decisions about gene testing and possible targeted treatments, and how patients and caregivers understand the information. It may help by improving decision support for people facing germline and tumor testing choices.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05406999RecruitingPhase 2
Intense hormone treatment before prostate surgery for high-risk cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies giving strong hormone-based treatment before prostate surgery to shrink and control high-risk, locally advanced prostate cancer. It may help improve surgical success and reduce cancer spread risk, but it requires careful health checks and prior-treatment limits.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT05413850RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Lu-177 PSMA drug study for advanced prostate cancer
This early-stage study tests a radioactive prostate cancer medicine that targets PSMA (a protein on prostate cancer cells). It aims to see how well the treatment works and how safe it is for men whose cancer has spread and shows PSMA on a scan.
Miami, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT05448547RecruitingPhase 3
Tested curative vs conservative treatment for older men with high-risk prostate cancer
This Phase 3 study compares an immediate curative treatment plan versus a more conservative approach in men age 75 and older with newly diagnosed, high-risk prostate cancer. The goal is to see which strategy controls the cancer while better protecting quality of life.
CopenhagenAges 75 years+ - NCT05454488RecruitingPhase 2
Study focal freezing for intermediate-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests whether freezing only the cancer area in the prostate (focal cryotherapy) can control intermediate-risk prostate cancer. It aims to limit treatment to one tumor focus while closely checking results with targeted and follow-up testing.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05463796Recruiting
Prevention and early detection for people at high cancer risk
This study looks at surveillance (watching closely), prevention, and early “interception” steps to lower the chance that cancer will develop or be found later. It is for people with genetic risk, past cancer treatment exposures, strong family history, or certain early pre-cancer or high-risk conditions.
Boston, MassachusettsAges Any age - NCT05582876Recruiting
PET/MR scan to plan personalized prostate cancer treatment
This study uses a special scan called PET/MR with a prostate-focused tracer to help doctors choose the best next treatment for prostate cancer. It may be most helpful if you are planning major treatment or if your cancer has come back after prior treatment.
BialystokAges 18–99 - NCT05586360RecruitingPhase 2
Testing how a statin may change immune markers in prostate cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether taking simvastatin can change “immune regulation” markers in men with intermediate- to high-risk localized prostate cancer. It also looks at whether this could help lower the risk of cancer coming back after planned prostate surgery.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05590624Recruiting
Mediterranean diet study for men on prostate cancer active surveillance
This trial studies how different controlled versions of a Mediterranean-style diet may affect prostate cancer-related metabolism in men choosing active surveillance. It may help participants understand whether diet changes influence markers linked to prostate cancer activity, while keeping them on a monitored care plan.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT05593497RecruitingPhase 2
Study of hormone therapy plus capivasertib before prostate surgery
This Phase 2 trial tests whether adding capivasertib to intensified hormone therapy (leuprolide plus abiraterone) given before prostate surgery can improve outcomes for men with high-risk localized prostate cancer that has a specific tumor marker (PTEN loss). You would also have extra blood tests, scans, and a tissue biopsy for tumor testing.
