Recruiting studies near San Francisco
- NCT07052214RecruitingPhase 3
PSMA PET plus MRI to find prostate cancer
This trial tests if combining a PSMA PET scan with an MRI can better detect clinically significant prostate cancer than MRI alone. It may help men who have not had a prostate biopsy before and have certain risk factors.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03933670RecruitingPhase 2
MRI scan with special sugar to monitor prostate cancer on surveillance
This study uses a special MRI scan using “hyperpolarized” labeled pyruvate (a sugar-like substance) to see how prostate cancer may be behaving in people who are on active surveillance. It may help researchers monitor cancer without immediate treatment, by spotting changes earlier.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05948657Recruiting
PSMA PET-CT scan for men on prostate cancer surveillance
This study checks whether a special prostate scan called PSMA PET-CT (along with standard monitoring scans) can help guide care while you are on “active surveillance” instead of immediate treatment. It may help doctors track low-risk prostate cancer changes more accurately over time.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06171139Recruiting
Genetic counseling tool for Black men with prostate cancer
This study tests a new tool to help Black or African American men with prostate cancer understand genetic testing options. The goal is to improve counseling and decision-making about tumor genetic testing.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05766371RecruitingPhase 2

San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04986423RecruitingPhase 2
Add ZEN003694 to enzalutamide for resistant prostate cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding ZEN003694 to enzalutamide works better than enzalutamide alone in men whose prostate cancer has spread and is no longer controlled by hormone lowering treatments. It focuses on people who either did not respond well to abiraterone (poor responders) or did respond (responders), then compares outcomes between treatment groups.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 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.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 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.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06228053RecruitingPhase 2
Study of SX-682 plus enzalutamide for men with advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests whether adding the drug SX-682 to enzalutamide can help men whose prostate cancer has stopped responding to other hormone treatments. You may be eligible if your cancer is growing despite treatment with abiraterone, darolutamide, apalutamide, or enzalutamide.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06613100RecruitingPhase 1
Xaluritamig before prostate surgery for high-risk prostate cancer
This study tests an experimental drug called xaluritamig given before surgery for men with localized prostate cancer that is intermediate or high risk. The goal is to see if it can help shrink the cancer before the prostate is removed.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05888532RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a copper-based scan and treatment in advanced cancers
This Phase 1/2 trial studies a copper-labeled medicine called 64Cu-GRIP B in people with advanced, metastatic cancers. It may help doctors see where cancer is and how well the drug works, especially alongside immune checkpoint therapy for some cancer types.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 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.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 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.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–100 - NCT06942104RecruitingPhase 1
New imaging agent for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new imaging agent (18F-TRX) to see if it can better detect cancer spread in people with advanced solid tumors. It is designed for patients with specific cancers like high-grade brain tumors, advanced kidney cancer, or prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07690579Recruiting
Prostate cancer disparities study
This study looks at how social, lifestyle, and other factors affect prostate cancer outcomes. It enrolls men who have chosen to have their prostate removed (radical prostatectomy) and agreed to join a biobank.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07285694RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of AB-3028 for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (called AB-3028) designed to recognize and attack prostate cancer cells that have the PSMA protein on their surface. It's for people whose prostate cancer has spread and is no longer controlled by hormone therapy.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07287150RecruitingPhase 2
Inavolisib for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer
This trial tests a new drug called Inavolisib for men with a specific type of advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy. It aims to see if the drug can help slow the cancer's growth.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06579417Recruiting
Testing a faster MRI for prostate cancer detection
This trial is testing a new, faster type of MRI scan (called biparametric MRI) to see if it can detect prostate cancer as well as the standard scan. It may help you avoid a longer scan and possibly reduce the need for contrast dye.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 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.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 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.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05519449RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a PSMA-targeting treatment for advanced prostate cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests JANX007 in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (cancer that keeps growing despite standard hormone treatment). It aims to find a safe dose and see whether the treatment can shrink tumors or slow progression.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–100 - NCT06751329RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of DM002 for advanced solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug called DM002 for people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard treatments. The drug targets two proteins (MUC1 and HER3) found on some cancer cells, and may help shrink tumors or slow their growth.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 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.
