Recruiting studies near Boston
- NCT07140900RecruitingPhase 1
Study of xaluritamig combined with hormone therapy for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new drug, xaluritamig, given with standard hormone therapy for men with prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) and is still sensitive to hormone therapy. It aims to see if the combination is safe and works better than hormone therapy alone.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06040125Recruiting

Mevrometostat trial for hormone-resistant prostate cancer
This Phase 1 study tests mevrometostat (PF 06821497) in people with castration-resistant prostate cancer to see if it’s safe and how the body responds to it. It may be an option if your cancer is no longer controlled by hormone therapy and your organ health tests are within limits.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04115254Recruiting
MRI-guided focused radiation for certain tumors
This study tests a type of high-precision radiation guided by MRI pictures to treat certain cancers. It may help doctors deliver radiation more accurately while avoiding nearby healthy tissue, but you must be able to safely complete an MRI scan and meet tumor-size and health requirements.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT01961713Recruiting
Blood test study during prostate surgery for localized prostate cancer
This trial studies prostate cancer cells in the blood (“circulating tumor cells”) while you undergo planned prostate surgery. It may help doctors better understand prostate cancer and how it behaves early, which could guide future treatment decisions.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06067841RecruitingPhase 1
New drug for advanced prostate cancer
This study tests a new drug (BMS-986460) for people with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy. It aims to see if the drug can shrink or slow the cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06844383RecruitingPhase 2
Talazoparib with or without enzalutamide for prostate cancer after prior treatment
This study tests a drug called talazoparib, either alone or combined with enzalutamide, in people with prostate cancer that has spread and has a specific genetic change. The goal is to see if this treatment can help control the cancer after previous therapies have stopped working.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05129605Recruiting
Prostate cancer genetic risk screening study for men
This study looks at your personal and family risk for prostate cancer and helps decide who should have extra screening like MRI. It may help you find cancer earlier if you are at higher genetic risk.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 35–74 - 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+ - NCT04706663Recruiting
Genomics-guided treatment for people with prostate cancer
This trial uses genetic test results from your prostate cancer to guide treatment choices. It may help find therapies that better match the specific gene changes in your cancer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–120 - NCT06957691RecruitingPhase 2
Fezolinetant for hot flashes in men on hormone therapy
This study tests a medication called fezolinetant to see if it reduces hot flashes in men undergoing hormone therapy for prostate cancer. If you experience frequent hot flashes, this treatment might help alleviate them.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40 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+ - 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+ - NCT06855277RecruitingPhase 3
AAA817 with hormone therapy for advanced prostate cancer

Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–100 - NCT07581184RecruitingPhase 1
Targeted Radioactive Therapy for Advanced Prostate Cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests a new radioactive treatment called [225Ac]Ac-AKY-2519 in men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and stopped responding to hormone therapy. The drug carries radioactivity directly to cancer cells to try to shrink tumors and slow disease progression.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04104776RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Test drug tulmimetostat for advanced cancers and lymphomas
This early-phase study tests tulmimetostat (DZR123) to shrink or control advanced solid tumors and certain lymphomas, and it may also test a combination in some prostate cancer groups. If you qualify, you’ll receive the study drug and be monitored closely, including blood tests and a request for tumor tissue to look for biomarkers.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05946213RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter radiation treatment for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests whether a shorter course of radiation works as well as the usual longer course for people with high-risk prostate cancer. The goal is to keep cancer control while possibly reducing treatment time and inconvenience.

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.
