Recruiting studies in Massachusetts
- NCT06952803RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new drug for men with BRCA-related prostate cancer

Study of BL-B01D1 for advanced lung and other solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental drug called BL-B01D1 for people with several types of advanced solid tumors, especially non-small cell lung cancer and breast cancer. It's designed for those whose cancer has continued to grow after standard treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07569926RecruitingPhase 4
Fluciclovine PET scan for prostate cancer recurrence detection
This study tests whether a newer type of imaging scan (called fluciclovine PET) can find where prostate cancer has come back when an earlier scan (PSMA PET) didn't show clear results. The goal is to help doctors better plan treatment for men whose cancer has returned after surgery or radiation.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05668962RecruitingPhase 2
Study selpercatinib plus I-131 for RET thyroid cancer that cannot take iodine
This trial tests whether combining a targeted pill (selpercatinib) with a radioactive iodine dose (I-131) can shrink thyroid cancer that has spread and no longer responds to radioactive iodine.

Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07006727RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for advanced DLL3-positive solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental treatment for several types of advanced cancer that have stopped responding to standard therapy. The drug targets a protein called DLL3 found on some tumor cells, which may help slow or stop tumor growth.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–100 - NCT06966024RecruitingPhase 1
Study of DCC-2812 for advanced genitourinary cancers
This trial tests an experimental pill called DCC-2812 for people with advanced kidney, bladder, or prostate cancer. The goal is to see if it is safe and if it might help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07144280RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a new drug vs docetaxel for advanced lung cancer
This trial tests a new experimental drug called PF-08046054/SGN-PDL1V against a standard chemotherapy (docetaxel) for people with a type of advanced lung cancer that has PD-L1 protein on at least 1% of tumor cells and has progressed after prior treatments. The goal is to see if the new drug works better or has fewer side effects.
Worcester, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06855277RecruitingPhase 3
AAA817 with hormone therapy for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new combination treatment (AAA817 plus a hormone therapy) against standard care for men with advanced PSMA-positive prostate cancer that has spread and stopped responding to a previous hormone therapy. It may be an option if you haven't had certain prior treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–100 - NCT06780670RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Comparing a new treatment to standard care for advanced prostate cancer
This study tests a new drug (AAA817) against the usual treatments for men with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to a type of targeted radiation therapy (Lu-PSMA). The goal is to see if the new drug can slow the cancer's growth better than standard options.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–100 - NCT06496256Recruiting
Barrigel gel for radiation after prostate removal
This trial tests a gel placed in the rectum during radiation therapy to protect healthy tissue after prostate removal. It is for men whose prostate cancer has come back (PSA rise) and who need radiation to the prostate bed.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05939414RecruitingPhase 3
Study of radioactive drug for prostate cancer that has spread a little
This study tests a radioactive drug (177Lu-PSMA-617) compared to no immediate treatment in men with prostate cancer that has returned and spread to a few spots (oligometastatic). It aims to see if this treatment delays the spread of cancer and improves outcomes.

Study of a new treatment for KRAS G12D cancers
This trial tests a new type of cell therapy (called TCR-T) that targets a specific genetic change (KRAS G12D) in advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. It may be an option if your cancer has this mutation and you have a specific tissue type (HLA).
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06793215RecruitingPhase 3
Divarasib plus pembrolizumab for KRAS G12C lung cancer

SBRT to treat a few spots of adenoid cystic cancer
This trial tests whether focused radiation (SBRT) can help control adenoid cystic carcinoma that has spread to a small number of places (oligometastatic disease). If you qualify, the study will treat up to 1–5 metastatic spots that doctors think can be safely targeted, to help control the cancer locally.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 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.

What taking part in a metastatic prostate cancer study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
