Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06171269Recruiting
MRI-guided radiation dose reduction for prostate cancer
This trial tests whether using MRI scans to guide radiation can allow lower doses to the healthy parts of the prostate, potentially reducing side effects. It is for men with intermediate- or high-risk prostate cancer that can be seen on MRI and has not spread.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06925737RecruitingPhase 3
Study of I-DXd for metastatic prostate cancer
This study tests a new drug called Ifinatamab Deruxtecan (I-DXd) for people with metastatic prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy. It may help by targeting and destroying cancer cells in a different way.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06778863RecruitingPhase 1
A study of CLSP-1025 for adults with certain solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called CLSP-1025 for people with advanced solid tumors that have a specific change in the p53 gene (R175H). The drug targets this change to help fight the cancer.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT03866382RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus a targeted drug for rare genitourinary tumors
This Phase 2 study tests whether nivolumab and ipilimumab (immunotherapy drugs) plus cabozantinib (a targeted anti-cancer drug) can shrink or control rare cancers of the urinary/reproductive system that have spread. It may help by boosting the immune system and blocking cancer growth signals at the same time.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05726292RecruitingPhase 2
Enzalutamide plus relacorilant versus placebo for high-risk prostate cancer
This study tests whether adding relacorilant to enzalutamide (a hormone-blocking treatment) helps control high-risk localized prostate cancer better than enzalutamide plus a dummy pill. It may help prevent the cancer from growing or spreading by targeting a hormone pathway in addition to standard treatment.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06813898RecruitingEarly Phase 1
A New Scan for Early Prostate Cancer Recurrence
This study tests a new scanning method (rhPSMA-7.3 PET/CT) to detect prostate cancer recurrence when PSA is slightly high. If your PSA is low but rising, and standard scans haven't found cancer, this scan might help locate it.
Chicago, IllinoisAges Any age - 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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–100 - NCT05334069Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection in patients
This study collects blood from people with cancer and people without cancer (or with possible cancer) to test whether new blood tests can detect cancer earlier. Your blood samples help researchers evaluate how well these tests work.

New drug combinations for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called zanzalintinib, which may slow or shrink various types of advanced cancer. It is given together with other cancer treatments, and the study is looking at many different cancers including kidney, prostate, bladder, lung, liver, and more.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07115914Recruiting
PSMA PET scan to monitor prostate cancer after focal therapy
This trial uses a special PET scan (PSMA PET) to check if prostate cancer returns after focused treatment (focal therapy). It may help find any remaining cancer that standard scans miss.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05790213RecruitingPhase 2
Hormone therapy plus targeted prostate treatment for intermediate cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether combining hormone treatment (androgen deprivation therapy) with focal ablation (targeted destruction of prostate tissue) controls intermediate-risk prostate cancer. It may help some men avoid or reduce more aggressive treatment, while still aiming for cancer control.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06824818Recruiting
Can older men stop prostate cancer treatment early?
This study looks at whether men aged 70 or older who have been on hormone therapy for over 3 years can safely stop treatment. It aims to find out if stopping early helps maintain quality of life without letting the cancer come back.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 70 years+ - NCT06533644RecruitingPhase 2
SYNC-T therapy study for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new treatment called SYNC-T Therapy (SV-102) for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer that has progressed after other treatments. The therapy is given directly into a tumor to help your immune system fight the cancer.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT05691465RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation drug for metastatic prostate cancer with neuroendocrine cells
This Phase 2 study tests whether a radioactive medicine called lutetium Lu 177 dotatate is safe and effective for metastatic prostate cancer that has neuroendocrine features. It also checks whether patients’ scans show the cancer absorbs the drug (a requirement to start treatment).
