Recruiting studies near Pittsburgh
- NCT07164443RecruitingPhase 3
Study of Pasritamig with or without JNJ-87189401 for advanced prostate cancer
This study tests a new combination therapy for advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to standard treatments. It aims to see if the combination is more effective than placebo in slowing the cancer's growth.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07225946RecruitingPhase 3
Study of pasritamig with docetaxel for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new drug called pasritamig combined with the chemotherapy docetaxel, compared to docetaxel alone, in men with prostate cancer that has spread and is no longer responding to hormone therapy.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05919264RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
FOG-001 for advanced solid tumors with certain gene changes
This trial tests a new drug, FOG-001, alone or with other treatments, for people with advanced solid tumors that have specific changes in the WNT pathway genes. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06235697RecruitingPhase 3
Hormone therapy with or without lymph node radiation for prostate cancer
This trial tests combining hormone therapy with different types of radiation (including high-dose external beam and brachytherapy) for men with prostate cancer that has a higher chance of coming back. It aims to see if adding radiation to the lymph nodes helps control the cancer better.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05803941RecruitingPhase 4
Study long-term safety of a prostate cancer drug
This trial checks the long-term safety (how it affects you over time) of lutetium-177 vipivotide tetraxetan in people with prostate cancer. You may be eligible if you already received the related drug in a prior Novartis prostate cancer study and can complete the required follow-up tests.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18–100 - NCT03678025RecruitingPhase 3
Standard treatment for metastatic prostate cancer, with or without local treatment
This Phase 3 trial studies whether using the usual medicines for metastatic prostate cancer, plus a definitive local treatment to the prostate, improves outcomes. It may help determine if treating the prostate directly can benefit people whose cancer has not worsened after initial hormone-based treatment.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05283330RecruitingPhase 1
Tested 212Pb imaging drug for certain advanced GRPR tumors
This early-phase study tests how safe and tolerable an experimental radiation drug is for adults with certain advanced or metastatic cancers that show a target called GRPR. Doctors will also use special scans to confirm the tumor has the target so the treatment can be delivered to the right place.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07611110RecruitingPhase 3
AZD2265 vs standard care for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new cancer-fighting drug called AZD2265 against standard treatment for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and stopped responding to hormone therapy. You may qualify if your cancer previously responded to PSMA-targeted radiation treatments but is now growing again.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07222436Recruiting
Blood test for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial studies a blood test that looks for tumor DNA in men with high-risk or advanced prostate cancer. It may help doctors understand the cancer better and guide treatment decisions.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04075305Recruiting
Study measuring radiation treatment outcomes with an MR-Linac
This study follows what happens when radiation treatment is guided using an MR-Linac (a special machine that combines MRI imaging with radiation). It may help improve how radiation therapy is planned and assessed, especially for people who can safely have MRI scans.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04175431RecruitingPhase 2
PSMA or FACBC PET scan guided treatment for prostate cancer recurrence
This Phase 2 study tests using a special PET/CT scan (PSMA or FACBC) to guide treatment for prostate cancer that has come back after surgery and radiation. The goal is to see whether this scan-based approach can better target cancer in the prostate area (and help plan the right treatment).
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05223803RecruitingPhase 2
Study radiation for early metastatic prostate cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests a radiation-focused approach for people with newly diagnosed (de novo) prostate cancer that has spread to a small number of spots, especially in bone. It aims to see how well the treatment controls the cancer while keeping side effects manageable.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06136624RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing a new drug to standard hormone therapy for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new pill, opevesostat, against other hormone treatments for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer that has progressed after previous therapies. It aims to see which approach works better.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07213674RecruitingPhase 3
A study of xaluritamig plus abiraterone for prostate cancer
This trial tests a new combination of two drugs (xaluritamig plus abiraterone) for men with a type of advanced prostate cancer that is no longer responding to hormone therapy but has not yet been treated with chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this combination works better than the standard options your doctor might choose.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05176483RecruitingPhase 1
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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06952803RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new drug for men with BRCA-related prostate cancer
This trial tests whether adding a new drug (saruparib) to standard radiation and hormone therapy can help prevent prostate cancer from spreading to other parts of the body. It is for men with high-risk prostate cancer that has a BRCA gene mutation.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06863272RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of ifinatamab deruxtecan for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new drug, ifinatamab deruxtecan, either alone or in combination with other treatments, for men with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer that has worsened despite hormone therapy. It aims to see if this approach can help shrink or slow the cancer.
