Recruiting studies in Massachusetts
- NCT07006727RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new drug for advanced DLL3-positive solid tumors
This trial tests an experimental treatment for several types of advanced cancer that have stopped responding to standard therapy. The drug targets a protein called DLL3 found on some tumor cells, which may help slow or stop tumor growth.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–100 - NCT06966024RecruitingPhase 1
Study of DCC-2812 for advanced genitourinary cancers
This trial tests an experimental pill called DCC-2812 for people with advanced kidney, bladder, or prostate cancer. The goal is to see if it is safe and if it might help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT06202820Recruiting
Heart health monitoring for men on hormone therapy
This study checks how men starting hormone therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer are doing with their heart health. It offers follow-up visits at the cancer center to track blood pressure and lab results, with the goal of catching any heart-related issues early.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04363164RecruitingPhase 2
Testosterone then enzalutamide to stop prostate cancer spread
This Phase 2 trial tests whether giving testosterone first, then enzalutamide (a prostate cancer hormone-blocking pill), can slow or prevent worsening metastatic prostate cancer. It is designed for men whose cancer progressed despite ongoing hormone-suppression treatment.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–90 - NCT07729150Recruiting
Wearable device study for hormone therapy hot flashes
This study tests whether a wearable cooling or heating device can help reduce hot flashes caused by hormone therapy for prostate cancer. You will use the device for 12 weeks and report how often and how much your hot flashes bother you.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT04472338Recruiting
Prostate cancer screening for people with higher genetic risk
This study looks at prostate cancer screening for people who may be at higher risk because of a specific inherited (genetic) change. It may help your care team find the best screening approach to catch aggressive prostate cancer earlier.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 40 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–100 - NCT07427043RecruitingPhase 3
Opioid-free pain plan for robotic prostate surgery
This trial tests a pain management strategy that avoids opioids during and after robotic prostate surgery. It aims to reduce opioid use and side effects while keeping you comfortable.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 45 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.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–100 - NCT06496256Recruiting
Barrigel gel for radiation after prostate removal
This trial tests a gel placed in the rectum during radiation therapy to protect healthy tissue after prostate removal. It is for men whose prostate cancer has come back (PSA rise) and who need radiation to the prostate bed.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05939414RecruitingPhase 3
Study of radioactive drug for prostate cancer that has spread a little
This study tests a radioactive drug (177Lu-PSMA-617) compared to no immediate treatment in men with prostate cancer that has returned and spread to a few spots (oligometastatic). It aims to see if this treatment delays the spread of cancer and improves outcomes.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18–100 - NCT07114601RecruitingPhase 1
Study of LY4257496 for people with GRPR-positive solid tumors
This trial tests a new drug, LY4257496, in people with certain types of cancer that have a protein called GRPR on their cells. The study aims to see if the drug can help shrink tumors or slow the cancer's growth.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT05463796Recruiting
Prevention and early detection for people at high cancer risk
This study looks at surveillance (watching closely), prevention, and early “interception” steps to lower the chance that cancer will develop or be found later. It is for people with genetic risk, past cancer treatment exposures, strong family history, or certain early pre-cancer or high-risk conditions.

What taking part in a prostate cancer study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
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.

Common questions
- Are there prostate cancer clinical trials in Massachusetts?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 86 recruiting prostate cancer studies with a site in Massachusetts, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a prostate cancer study in Massachusetts?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Massachusetts to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Massachusetts, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a prostate cancer trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
