Recruiting studies in California
- NCT07150715RecruitingPhase 2
Radioactive drug plus precise radiation for recurrent prostate cancer
This trial tests a powerful radioactive drug (either alpha or beta) combined with precise radiation to treat prostate cancer that has come back in a few spots outside the prostate. It may help men whose cancer is still hormone-sensitive and has not spread widely.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT06067269RecruitingPhase 2
Hormone therapy and precise radiation for intermediate-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests whether giving a short course of hormone therapy (apalutamide) along with targeted, high-dose radiation (SBRT) is safe and effective for men with a specific type of intermediate-risk prostate cancer. You may benefit if you fit the exact risk and test criteria.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03821246RecruitingPhase 2
Atezolizumab and other drugs before prostate surgery for high-risk cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether giving immunotherapy (atezolizumab) plus another drug before surgery can shrink or control high-risk localized prostate cancer. The goal is to improve outcomes by treating the cancer early, before radical prostatectomy.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04423211RecruitingPhase 3
Surgery-recovered prostate cancer treated with PET-guided radiation
This trial tests whether adding targeted radiation guided by a PET scan (along with hormone therapy) can improve outcomes for prostate cancer that has come back after surgery. The PET scan helps doctors look for spots outside the usual radiation area so treatment can be tailored.
Lancaster, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT04729114RecruitingPhase 1
Safety and dose test of PRL-02 shot for advanced prostate cancer
This Phase 1 study tests how safe PRL-02 depot (an injection) is and finds the best dose for men with advanced prostate cancer. It may help determine a new treatment option for cancers that have spread or are getting worse despite standard care.
Anaheim, CaliforniaAges 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.
West Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05366881Recruiting
Blood test study to spot early cancer signal and cancer leftovers
This observational study checks whether a blood test (a “cfDNA” test) can detect early signs of cancer or small amounts of cancer left after treatment. It may help doctors use a simple blood sample to improve cancer detection and follow-up.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 40 years+ - NCT07690579Recruiting
Prostate cancer disparities study
This study looks at how social, lifestyle, and other factors affect prostate cancer outcomes. It enrolls men who have chosen to have their prostate removed (radical prostatectomy) and agreed to join a biobank.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07145255RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of MBRC-201 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, MBRC-201, for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to find the best dose and see if it helps shrink tumors or slow their growth.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06267729RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
A new cell therapy for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new cell therapy (AZD0754) for metastatic prostate cancer that has stopped responding to standard hormone therapy and chemotherapy. It’s looking for people whose cancer has gotten worse despite prior treatments, and who are still in fairly good health.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18–130 - NCT06931340RecruitingPhase 3
Adding chemo to hormone therapy for advanced prostate cancer
This trial is for men with metastatic prostate cancer that has already spread beyond the pelvis. It tests whether adding a chemotherapy drug (docetaxel) to the usual hormone therapy plus apalutamide can help control the cancer better than hormone therapy alone.
Dublin, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06172478RecruitingPhase 2
HER3-DXd for advanced solid tumors after prior treatment
This trial tests a new targeted drug called HER3-DXd for people with several types of advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments. The drug is an antibody-drug conjugate, designed to deliver chemotherapy directly to cancer cells that have a protein called HER3 on their surface.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07202247RecruitingPhase 2
Improving heart health in prostate cancer patients on hormone therapy
This study tests whether combining a time-restricted eating plan, a heart-healthy diet, and a weight-loss medication (GLP-1 receptor agonist) can help improve heart health and weight in men with prostate cancer who are receiving hormone therapy. It aims to reduce the risk of heart problems caused by hormone treatment.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 30–79 - NCT05997615RecruitingPhase 1
Study of VIR-5500 for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests VIR-5500 (AMX-500), a new targeted treatment, in men with prostate cancer that has spread and stopped responding to standard therapies. The goal is to see if it is safe and if it may help shrink or slow the cancer.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07185165RecruitingPhase 2
PET Scan for Prostate Cancer Recurrence After Focal Therapy
This study uses a special PET/CT scan (Flotufolastat F 18) to look for leftover or returning prostate cancer after you've had a targeted treatment called focal therapy. The goal is to see if the scan can help find cancer that might need further treatment.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT06465069RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for advanced bladder and other solid tumors
This study tests a new drug (LY4052031) for people with several types of advanced solid tumors, especially bladder cancer. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective when given alone or after other treatments have stopped working.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06952803RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new drug for men with BRCA-related prostate cancer
This trial tests whether adding a new drug (saruparib) to standard radiation and hormone therapy can help prevent prostate cancer from spreading to other parts of the body. It is for men with high-risk prostate cancer that has a BRCA gene mutation.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06991556RecruitingPhase 2
Testing JSB462 plus abiraterone for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new drug called JSB462 combined with abiraterone in men with prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body and is still responding to hormone therapy. The goal is to see if this combination works better than current treatments.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 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.
West Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05983432RecruitingPhase 1
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.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04534205RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing BNT113 plus pembrolizumab versus pembrolizumab alone
This trial studies whether adding BNT113 to pembrolizumab works better and is safe for people with HPV16-positive head and neck cancer that can’t be cured with local treatments. It also compares outcomes to pembrolizumab alone, specifically for tumors that show PD-L1 in testing.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05107674RecruitingPhase 1

What taking part in a prostate cancer recurrent 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.
