Recruiting studies in Pennsylvania
- NCT06844383RecruitingPhase 2
Talazoparib with or without enzalutamide for prostate cancer after prior treatment
This study tests a drug called talazoparib, either alone or combined with enzalutamide, in people with prostate cancer that has spread and has a specific genetic change. The goal is to see if this treatment can help control the cancer after previous therapies have stopped working.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07028853RecruitingPhase 3
New drug combo for advanced prostate cancer
This study tests whether adding the investigational drug mevrometostat to the standard treatment enzalutamide works better than enzalutamide alone for men with prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer). You may benefit if you haven't yet received chemotherapy or similar strong treatments for this stage of cancer.
Bala-Cynwyd, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05519449RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a PSMA-targeting treatment for advanced prostate cancer

Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Allentown, PennsylvaniaAges 40–75 - NCT07745361RecruitingPhase 2
Study of MRT-2359 with apalutamide for prostate cancer
This trial tests a new oral drug, MRT-2359, combined with apalutamide (a standard hormone therapy) in men with a specific type of prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone treatment. The goal is to see if the combination can slow or stop the cancer's growth.
Lancaster, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07124000Recruiting
T-DXd for advanced HER2-positive solid tumors
This trial is for people with advanced HER2-positive solid tumors (cancers that cannot be removed by surgery or have spread). It tests the drug T-DXd (also called Enhertu) when your doctor has already decided it's the right treatment for you and you have no other good options.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–130 - NCT03151629Recruiting
Registry for men with advanced prostate cancer
This study is a worldwide registry that collects health information from men with advanced prostate cancer. It may help researchers better understand disease patterns and outcomes, which can guide future treatments.
Doylestown, PennsylvaniaAges 21 years+ - NCT03452774Recruiting
AI matches your cancer tests to possible treatment trials
This trial uses an AI system to help match people with certain cancer types and specific tumor test results (like gene or protein markers) to relevant clinical trials. It may help you and your doctor find studies that fit your cancer biology faster.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - 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.
Gettysburg, 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+ - 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04585750RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study drug for TP53 Y220C-mutated advanced cancers
This early-phase study tests PC14586 (rezatapopt) in people with advanced or metastatic solid cancers that carry a specific TP53 mutation called Y220C. It mainly looks at safety and how well the treatment may work, sometimes combined with pembrolizumab.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 12 years+ - NCT04729114RecruitingPhase 1
Safety and dose test of PRL-02 shot for advanced prostate cancer
This Phase 1 study tests how safe PRL-02 depot (an injection) is and finds the best dose for men with advanced prostate cancer. It may help determine a new treatment option for cancers that have spread or are getting worse despite standard care.
Bala-Cynwyd, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Philadelphia, 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05422911RecruitingPhase 2
Abiraterone, enzalutamide, or apalutamide for early castration prostate cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether abiraterone, enzalutamide, or apalutamide can work better (or differently) in men with prostate cancer that is considered “castration-sensitive.” It compares these hormone-blocking treatments to find an approach that controls the cancer more effectively and safely.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05487846Recruiting
Peer support during genetic testing for metastatic prostate cancer
This trial offers support from a trained peer to help African American men understand and go through genetic testing for prostate cancer. It may help you feel less overwhelmed and better prepared during the testing and decision-making process.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05627219Recruiting
Training men to share prostate cancer genetics info
This study tests a program that trains men (especially African American men) to help others understand prostate cancer genetic counseling and testing. It may improve access to this information by using peer support and patient navigation.
Philadelphia, 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 - NCT05804318Recruiting
Adaptive daily radiation for low- and intermediate-risk prostate cancer
This trial tests a radiation plan that is adjusted every day using your own scans to better target prostate cancer. It may help reduce side effects while still treating the cancer effectively in men with lower- or intermediate-risk disease.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05838716RecruitingPhase 3

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.
