Recruiting studies near Boston
- NCT06274047RecruitingPhase 3
Hormone Therapy Timing for Prostate Cancer After Surgery
This trial compares two ways of giving hormone therapy (apalutamide) along with radiation after prostate removal surgery. It aims to see which approach helps maintain quality of life while controlling cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06957691RecruitingPhase 2
Fezolinetant for hot flashes in men on hormone therapy
This study tests whether a medication called fezolinetant can reduce hot flashes in men with prostate cancer caused by hormone therapy (ADT). If you have frequent, bothersome hot flashes, this treatment may help.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40 years+ - NCT05939414RecruitingPhase 3
Lutetium prostate cancer treatment for limited PSMA-spread
This Phase 3 trial compares a targeted radiation medicine called lutetium (177Lu) vipivotide tetraxetan versus watchful waiting in people with prostate cancer that has spread to only a few spots. The goal is to see if the treatment can better control the cancer when scans show a small amount of PSMA-positive metastases.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–100 - NCT05765500RecruitingPhase 2
Relugolix vs leuprolide to improve prostate cancer quality of life
This Phase 2 study compares two medicines that lower testosterone—relugolix tablets versus leuprolide injections—to see which better improves quality of life. It’s for people with prostate cancer who are starting hormone treatment and have not used similar testosterone-lowering drugs before.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05176483RecruitingPhase 1

Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07059884Recruiting
Exercise program to help people with cancer stay active
This trial tests a distance-based exercise program designed to help people on chemotherapy maintain their physical function and prevent disability. It is for patients with certain cancers who are working full-time and can participate in moderate physical activity.
Boston, 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 - NCT06862856Recruiting
PET Scan for Men With Very Low PSA After Prostate Surgery
This trial tests a PET scan (flotufolastat F 18) to find tiny prostate cancer cells in men whose PSA is very low but still rising after prostate removal. It may help guide further treatment decisions.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07181161RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new drug for metastatic prostate cancer
This trial tests an investigational drug (AZD0516) alone or with other treatments in men with prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body and is no longer responding to hormone therapy. It aims to see if the drug can help control the cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–130 - NCT07244341RecruitingPhase 1
Valemetostat and darolutamide for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two drugs (valemetostat and darolutamide) for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer that has worsened after prior treatment. The goal is to see if the combination can slow cancer growth.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05926102Recruiting
Screening study for prostate cancer risk and access
This study looks at how genetic risk and regular screening can help find prostate cancer earlier. It may help you and other Veterans understand what screening is best for different risk levels and access needs.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 55–69 - NCT07006727RecruitingPhase 1
Targeted radiation therapy for DLL3-positive advanced cancers
This study tests a new targeted radiation therapy (called [225Ac]Ac-ETN029) for people with advanced cancers that have a protein called DLL3 on their cells. The treatment is designed to deliver radiation directly to cancer cells, and the goal is to see if it is safe and effective.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–100 - NCT06632977RecruitingPhase 2
Matching targeted treatments to your prostate cancer's genetics
This trial is testing whether matching your cancer's specific genetic changes to a targeted treatment can help control metastatic prostate cancer that has stopped responding to standard hormone therapy and chemotherapy. You may receive a drug, a radioactive treatment, or a combination based on your tumor's molecular profile.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06451497RecruitingPhase 1
Testing ZM008 alone and with toripalimab for advanced cancers
This trial tests a new drug called ZM008, which targets a protein on some cancer cells, first alone and then combined with another drug, toripalimab, for people with advanced solid tumors that have stopped responding to standard treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04363164RecruitingPhase 2
Testosterone then enzalutamide to stop prostate cancer spread
This Phase 2 trial tests whether giving testosterone first, then enzalutamide (a prostate cancer hormone-blocking pill), can slow or prevent worsening metastatic prostate cancer. It is designed for men whose cancer progressed despite ongoing hormone-suppression treatment.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–90 - NCT05918263Recruiting
Exercise to slow prostate cancer in men on active surveillance
This trial tests whether moderate exercise can help keep low-risk prostate cancer from growing in men who are monitoring their cancer instead of treating it right away. It may be especially helpful for men with certain risk factors like obesity or being Black or African American.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05804318Recruiting
Adaptive daily radiation for low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests a radiation plan that is adjusted every day using your own scans to better target prostate cancer. It may help reduce side effects while still treating the cancer effectively in men with lower- or intermediate-risk disease.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06395519RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of ETX-19477 for advanced solid tumors

Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07114601RecruitingPhase 1
Study of LY4257496 for people with GRPR-positive solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, LY4257496, in people with certain types of cancer that have a protein called GRPR on their cells. The study aims to see if the drug can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06302595Recruiting

What taking part in a 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.
