Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04946370RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Pembrolizumab plus prostate cancer drug, with or without radiation
This early-phase trial tests pembrolizumab (an immune therapy) plus an androgen-receptor–blocking prostate cancer drug, and possibly a targeted radiation treatment. It’s for men with prostate cancer that has spread and keeps worsening despite standard hormone therapy, aiming to shrink tumors and improve control of the disease.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06780670RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Comparing a new drug to standard care for prostate cancer
This trial tests a new study drug (AAA817) against the usual treatments for men with a certain type of advanced prostate cancer that has spread and is no longer responding to a targeted radiation therapy (177Lu-PSMA). The goal is to see if the new drug can help control the disease longer.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–100 - NCT05349227Recruiting
After-cancer digital coaching and wearable tracking outcomes study
This study tests a digital health coaching program (using phone/tablet check-ins and wearable data) to understand health and quality-of-life outcomes after cancer treatment. It may help you learn healthy habits and track progress over time.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06099093RecruitingPhase 4
PSMA PET scan before standard therapy for advanced prostate cancer
This trial will test if a special PET scan (18F-DCFPyL) can help doctors plan your treatment with a radioactive medicine called 177Lu-vipivotide tetraxetan. You are eligible if you already qualify for that standard therapy and have had a prior PSMA PET scan showing at least one active cancer site.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT03151629Recruiting
Registry for men with advanced prostate cancer
This study is a worldwide registry that collects health information from men with advanced prostate cancer. It may help researchers better understand disease patterns and outcomes, which can guide future treatments.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 21 years+ - NCT06879041RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a radiation drug for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new drug that delivers radiation directly to cancer cells. It is for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer that has progressed after other treatments.
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+ - NCT04585750RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for TP53 Y220C-mutated advanced cancers
This early-phase study tests PC14586 (rezatapopt) in people with advanced or metastatic solid cancers that carry a specific TP53 mutation called Y220C. It mainly looks at safety and how well the treatment may work, sometimes combined with pembrolizumab.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 12 years+ - NCT05155501Recruiting
Surgery planning approaches for localized prostate cancer
This study compares different approaches used during prostate cancer surgery for men whose cancer is only in the prostate. It may help doctors choose the safest and most effective surgical plan for your situation.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40–80 - NCT04545957Recruiting
Radiation planning study using MRI for adults with cancer
This trial tests a “master protocol” approach to use MRI (a detailed body scan) to help plan radiation treatment for people with cancer. It may help doctors customize radiation more accurately, depending on your specific cancer type.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04472338Recruiting
Prostate cancer screening for people with higher genetic risk
This study looks at prostate cancer screening for people who may be at higher risk because of a specific inherited (genetic) change. It may help your care team find the best screening approach to catch aggressive prostate cancer earlier.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40 years+ - NCT04188535Recruiting
MRI scans during radiation treatment
This study does repeated MRI (detailed brain/body imaging) while you receive radiation therapy. It aims to see how these serial scans relate to treatment and outcomes, which could help improve care planning for different cancers.
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+ - NCT03972657RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new prostate and kidney cancer drug with immunotherapy
This early trial tests whether REGN5678 (nezastomig) is safe and how well it works, either by itself or with an immunotherapy drug (cemiplimab). It targets adults with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and certain metastatic kidney cancers that have already been treated.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT03460977RecruitingPhase 1
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+ - 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 - 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+ - 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 - NCT05225428Recruiting
Video education program based on personal genetic result disclosure
This study tests a video-based education approach that shares information differently depending on someone’s genetic test results. It may help people better understand cancer-related genetic information and what it could mean for them.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - 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.

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.
