It’s mainly looking to find a safe dose and see how well the approach works in people with limited treatment options.
Brooklyn, New YorkAges 18–99 - NCT04857502RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Tracking prostate cancer spread before lymph node surgery
This early study uses a special imaging tracer to show where prostate cancer has spread in the pelvic lymph nodes. It may help doctors better understand how well certain scans guide surgical removal of affected lymph nodes.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT03474913Recruiting
Upright MRI to help screen for prostate cancer
This study checks whether an MRI done while you are in an upright position can help with prostate cancer screening. If you have been advised to get a prostate MRI, the researchers may also do an ultrasound-guided biopsy to confirm results.
New York, New YorkAges 18–100 - 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+ - NCT04812366RecruitingPhase 2
Genetic test-guided treatment before prostate surgery
This trial tests different drugs before prostate surgery based on a person's genetic profile. It aims to find better treatments for high-risk prostate cancer that hasn't spread yet.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04692675Recruiting
MRI study to track prostate cancer in active surveillance patients
This study uses special prostate MRI scans to see how prostate cancer changes over time while you stay on active surveillance. It also looks at prostate tissue to understand your cancer’s genetics, which may help guide future decisions.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04751435Recruiting
Genetic testing education for cancer patients of diverse backgrounds
This study tests new educational materials about genetic testing for cancer patients. It aims to find the best ways to explain genetic testing to people from different backgrounds, especially Black, Latino, and non-Latino non-Black communities.
Brooklyn, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04693377Recruiting
Freezing tumor treatment plus targeted radiation for painful bone spread
This study tests whether combining a “freezing” procedure (cryoablation) with focused external radiation (SBRT) can reduce pain from bone metastases. It’s for people with certain cancers that have spread to bone and are having significant pain in a specific bone spot.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04734730RecruitingPhase 2
Talazoparib plus hormone therapy for metastatic prostate cancer
This trial tests whether talazoparib added to standard hormone therapy (ADT), along with abiraterone, can better control metastatic prostate cancer that hasn’t progressed despite starting hormone treatment. It may help people live longer and delay cancer worsening.
Duarte, 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+ - NCT03258320RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing chemo plus surgery for certain prostate cancers
This trial compares different chemotherapy drugs given around the time of surgery to see which approach works best for men with certain locally advanced prostate cancer. It may help find a better way to control the cancer after surgery.
Qingdao, ShandongAges 40–75 - NCT04585750RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Studying a new drug for cancers with a specific TP53 change
This trial tests a new drug (rezatapopt) for people with advanced cancers that have a specific change in the TP53 gene, called Y220C. The drug is designed to target this change and may slow or stop cancer growth. Some participants may also receive an immunotherapy drug called pembrolizumab (Keytruda).
Irvine, CaliforniaAges 12 years+ - NCT04556916Recruiting
Early prostate cancer screening with MRI before biopsy
This study is testing an approach to find prostate cancer earlier in men who may be at higher risk. If you fit the criteria, you may get an mpMRI scan before undergoing a prostate biopsy to check for cancer.
MontpellierAges 40 years+ - NCT04589468Recruiting
Exercise for cancer survivors at high risk
This study tests whether a structured exercise program can help prevent cancer from coming back in people who have been treated for certain solid tumors (colorectal, ovarian, lung, or breast cancer). If you've completed surgery and adjuvant therapy within the past 2 years and are currently not exercising much, you may be eligible. Participation involves following an exercise plan and regular check-ins.
Durate, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04402151RecruitingPhase 2
PSMA scan–guided targeted radiation for higher-risk prostate cancer
This trial uses a special PET/MR scan to help doctors aim stereotactic radiation more precisely for certain higher-risk or unfavorable intermediate prostate cancers. It studies whether this targeted approach can safely treat the prostate (and specific areas needing extra treatment) without spreading to the body.
New York, New YorkAges 21–90 - NCT04399876Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Testing an implantable device to study drug response in prostate cancer
This early-phase study uses a tiny implant placed during prostate cancer surgery planning to help researchers measure how tumors respond to treatment while still in the body. The results may help improve future treatment choices for men with intermediate- or high-risk prostate cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 22 years+ - NCT04337580RecruitingPhase 2
Test a fatty-acid drug for docetaxel-resistant prostate cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether blocking fatty-acid production can slow castration-refractory prostate cancer that has already progressed after docetaxel. It may help by targeting cancer growth when standard hormone-level treatments are no longer working.
Salisbury, North CarolinaAges 18 years+ - NCT04167969RecruitingPhase 1
Nanoparticles to help guide prostate cancer surgery
This Phase 1 study tests nanoparticles (tiny particles) that are meant to help surgeons better find and remove prostate cancer tissue during surgery. You may be offered standard prostate surgery plus imaging with a study tracer to guide the operation.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04052048Recruiting
Active surveillance prostate cancer test registry study
This study enrolls men with low-risk prostate cancer who are either staying on active surveillance or planning surgery soon. It uses a new “SNEP assay” test to help monitor prostate cancer over time and may improve how doctors track risk.
Royal Oak, MichiganAges 40–80 - NCT04075305Recruiting
Study measuring radiation treatment outcomes with an MR-Linac
This study follows what happens when radiation treatment is guided using an MR-Linac (a special machine that combines MRI imaging with radiation). It may help improve how radiation therapy is planned and assessed, especially for people who can safely have MRI scans.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04083937Recruiting
Radiation after prostate surgery for men with prostate cancer
This study looks at different radiation approaches after prostate surgery to see which strategy works best. You may be able to join if your cancer is at a stage where radiation to the prostate bed is planned, and you have not had prior radiation.
HeidelbergAges 18 years+ - NCT03933670RecruitingPhase 2
MRI scan with special sugar to monitor prostate cancer on surveillance
This study uses a special MRI scan using “hyperpolarized” labeled pyruvate (a sugar-like substance) to see how prostate cancer may be behaving in people who are on active surveillance. It may help researchers monitor cancer without immediate treatment, by spotting changes earlier.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03819101RecruitingPhase 3
Aspirin plus atorvastatin for advanced, treatment-resistant prostate cancer
This trial studies whether daily aspirin and atorvastatin can slow advanced prostate cancer that has continued to grow despite hormone therapy. It may help by reducing cancer growth and inflammation, but you would need to meet several specific safety and medication rules.
OlomoucAges 18 years+ - NCT03802851Recruiting
Laser procedure before radiation for prostate cancer symptoms
This trial looks at whether doing a prostate “laser procedure” (called HoLEP) before starting radiation and hormone therapy can improve severe urinary symptoms and reduce urine retention problems. It is for people with prostate cancer who are planning radiation plus hormone treatment and who have significant bladder/urinary trouble.
