Recruiting studies near Richmond
- NCT06257693RecruitingPhase 1
Prostate cancer implant trial before prostate removal surgery
This trial tests a new enzalutamide implant (Enolen) placed in the prostate before surgery to see if it helps treat early prostate cancer. It is for men who are already planning to have their prostate removed.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 21 years+ - NCT06136650RecruitingPhase 3
Study of a new drug for advanced prostate cancer
This study tests a new oral drug called opevesostat against another standard hormone therapy for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and is no longer controlled by a first hormone therapy. It's for men who have not had chemotherapy for this stage and who have not used a PARP inhibitor or chose not to.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT05838716RecruitingPhase 3
Vitamin D During Hormone Therapy for Prostate Cancer
This trial studies whether taking vitamin D while you are on prostate hormone therapy (ADT) affects your health outcomes. It may help by keeping vitamin D levels in a safe range during treatment.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 50 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.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 40–75 - NCT06985238Recruiting
Study of MRI for prostate cancer screening
This study tests a new MRI platform to better identify prostate issues before a biopsy. It is for people with elevated PSA whose doctor is considering a biopsy.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 40–90 - NCT06237179RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Exercise program to reduce heart risk in prostate cancer
This study tests whether a supervised exercise program can help reduce heart disease risk in men with prostate cancer who are on hormone therapy. Participants will exercise at home or in a group and be monitored for heart health changes.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 40–85 - NCT06995898Recruiting
A new way to screen for cancer
This study tests a new blood test to find cancer early. You will give blood samples and let researchers look at your medical records for one year.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 45–75 - 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.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06636123RecruitingPhase 1
Testing GZ17-6.02 for advanced prostate cancer after hormone therapy
This trial tests a new drug combination (GZ17-6.02) for men with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to standard hormone therapies. The goal is to see if the drug can help slow down the cancer.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06592924RecruitingPhase 3
Adding chemo to hormone therapy for prostate cancer with slow PSA drop
This trial tests if adding docetaxel chemotherapy helps men whose PSA hasn't dropped enough after at least 6 months of standard hormone therapy (ADT) plus an ARPI pill (like abiraterone or enzalutamide) for metastatic prostate cancer that still responds to hormones.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06764485RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing a new drug to standard therapy for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new medicine (BMS-986365) against the doctor's choice of standard therapy for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. It aims to see which treatment works better and is safer.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT06470243RecruitingPhase 3
Adding carboplatin to cabazitaxel for advanced prostate cancer
This study tests whether adding a chemotherapy drug called carboplatin to another chemotherapy called cabazitaxel works better than cabazitaxel alone for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread and no longer responds to hormone therapy. All participants must have already had docetaxel chemotherapy.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 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.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 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.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 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.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 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.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 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.
Richmond, VirginiaAges 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.
Midlothian, VirginiaAges 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.

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.
