Recruiting studies
- NCT06096870RecruitingPhase 2
Enzalutamide with a new drug for prostate cancer that is active on PET scan
This trial tests a combination of enzalutamide (a hormone blocker) and an investigational antibody-drug (PDS01ADC) in men whose prostate cancer has come back after initial treatment, but has not yet spread extensively. It does not involve standard hormone therapy that lowers testosterone.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT06111781RecruitingPhase 2
Hormone Therapy and Radiation for Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer
This study tests whether a combination of short-term hormone therapy (relugolix) and focused radiation (SBRT) can treat a certain type of prostate cancer that is considered favorable but has a higher genetic risk. It aims to find a less intense treatment that still works well.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18 years+ - NCT06378866RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation with hormone therapy timing for prostate cancer
This study is testing whether using focused radiation beams (SBRT) right away or later, along with hormone therapy, can help control prostate cancer that has returned in a few spots outside the pelvis. The goal is to find the best timing for combining radiation and hormone treatment.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT03294889RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Single-dose SBRT for early prostate cancer
This trial tests a very short, one-time form of radiation (SBRT) to treat prostate cancer. It aims to see whether treating the prostate in one shot is safe and effective for carefully selected patients.
GenevaAges 18–85 - 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 - NCT03650595Recruiting
MRI-guided laser treatment for prostate cancer
This trial tests a minimally invasive prostate treatment using MRI guidance and a focal laser to destroy only the cancer spot (not the whole prostate). If you have low-to-intermediate risk, MRI-visible prostate cancer in a limited area, it may help control the cancer while potentially reducing treatment side effects.
Toronto, OntarioAges 40–80 - NCT03753243RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab and hormone blocker before prostate surgery
This Phase 2 trial studies whether pembrolizumab plus a hormone “androgen axis” blocker taken before prostate surgery can improve outcomes for people with high-risk, non-metastatic prostate cancer. It’s designed for patients who are planning prostate removal with an extended lymph node dissection.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT03787056Recruiting
Blood test marker study in many cancer types
This study measures a blood marker called progastrin (at diagnosis and during treatment) to see how well it predicts response or outcomes. It may help doctors choose or monitor treatment more precisely for several cancer types.
BronAges 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.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT03819751Recruiting
MRI-guided prostate biopsy: software vs visual matching
This study compares two ways of using prostate MRI images to guide a biopsy and check how accurately prostate cancer can be found. If you have MRI spots that may be cancer, the trial will help test whether computer software or a visual method works better.
Leuven, Vlaams-brabantAges 50–75 - NCT03833921RecruitingPhase 2
Testing abiraterone and prednisone for metastatic prostate cancer by race
This trial studies how well abiraterone (a hormone-blocking medicine) plus prednisone (a steroid) works in people with metastatic, hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. It also looks at whether results differ by race/ethnicity and other health factors.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03908684Recruiting
Ultrasound tests to predict early response to prostate and head/neck radiation
This study uses special ultrasound imaging to look for early signs of how well radiation treatment is working in prostate, rectum, and head/neck cancers. It may help doctors spot response sooner and adjust care earlier if needed.
Toronto, OntarioAges Any age - NCT03914391Recruiting
Find new urine tests to screen for prostate cancer
This study looks for new urine markers (signals) that could help screen for prostate cancer. If you have a higher PSA blood test and are scheduled for a prostate biopsy, your urine sample may be studied to see if it can improve screening.
ShatinAges 18 years+ - NCT04004312Recruiting
Short-course radiation slices for localized prostate cancer
This trial tests a radiation approach that delivers treatment in a small number of larger “fractions” (short-course SBRT) for prostate cancer. It may help by targeting the prostate while shortening the overall number of visits.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT04221542RecruitingPhase 1
AMG 509 for advanced, hormone-resistant prostate cancer
This trial tests AMG 509, a study drug, in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (cancer that keeps growing despite lowering testosterone). It’s for people whose cancer has progressed after certain hormone tablets and possibly chemotherapy, aiming to shrink tumors and control the disease safely.
Duarte, 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.
Anchorage, AlaskaAges 18 years+ - NCT04633252RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug plus docetaxel and abiraterone for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new targeted cancer drug (PDS01ADC) combined with standard treatments docetaxel and abiraterone for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and whether it can control cancer better than current approaches.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–110 - 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+ - 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+ - 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+ - 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.
Tucson, ArizonaAges 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+ - 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+
