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+ - NCT07287150RecruitingPhase 2
Testing Inavolisib for advanced prostate cancer
This study tests a new targeted therapy called inavolisib for men with advanced, hormone-resistant prostate cancer that has spread.

San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 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.
Emeryville, CaliforniaAges 40–75 - 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.
Emeryville, CaliforniaAges 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.
Emeryville, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04589468Recruiting
Exercise for cancer survivors at high risk
This study tests whether a structured exercise program can help prevent cancer from coming back in people who have been treated for certain solid tumors (colorectal, ovarian, lung, or breast cancer). If you've completed surgery and adjuvant therapy within the past 2 years and are currently not exercising much, you may be eligible. Participation involves following an exercise plan and regular check-ins.
San Carlos, CaliforniaAges 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.
Walnut Creek, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06780670RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Comparing a new treatment to standard care for advanced prostate cancer
This study tests a new drug (AAA817) against the usual treatments for men with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to a type of targeted radiation therapy (Lu-PSMA). The goal is to see if the new drug can slow the cancer's growth better than standard options.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–100 - NCT06067841RecruitingPhase 1
New drug for advanced prostate cancer
This study tests a new drug (BMS-986460) for people with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy. It aims to see if the drug can shrink or slow the cancer.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06879041RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a radioactive drug for advanced prostate cancer
This study tests a new radioactive drug, [225Ac]-AZD2284, for men with prostate cancer that has spread and no longer responds to hormone therapy. The drug is designed to target cancer cells and deliver radiation directly to them, potentially slowing the cancer's growth.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 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.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 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.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05997615RecruitingPhase 1
Study of VIR-5500 for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests VIR-5500 (AMX-500), a new targeted treatment, in men with prostate cancer that has spread and stopped responding to standard therapies. The goal is to see if it is safe and if it may help shrink or slow the cancer.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06531499RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a radioactive drug for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests an extended treatment with a radioactive drug (177Lu-PSMA-617) to see how the body handles it, how safe it is, and how well it works. It is for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who have not had chemotherapy yet.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–100 - NCT05125016RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for advanced prostate cancer after standard treatments
This early-phase study tests whether REGN4336 is safe and how well it works, by itself or with REGN5678, in adults with advanced prostate cancer. It may help people whose cancer has continued to worsen despite standard prostate cancer medicines.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 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.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06855277RecruitingPhase 3
AAA817 with hormone therapy for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new combination treatment (AAA817 plus a hormone therapy) against standard care for men with advanced PSMA-positive prostate cancer that has spread and stopped responding to a previous hormone therapy. It may be an option if you haven't had certain prior treatments.
Palo Alto, CaliforniaAges 18–100 - NCT06492122RecruitingPhase 1
