Recruiting studies in Pennsylvania
- NCT05242744Recruiting
PET/CT scan testing for spread in metastatic prostate cancer
This study tests how well an FTT PET/CT scan can detect and measure metastatic (spread) prostate cancer. It may help your care team decide on the best next treatment plan, especially if you need to change or start therapy.
Philadelphia, 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+ - 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+ - NCT04585750RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Studying a new drug for cancers with a specific TP53 change
This trial tests a new drug (rezatapopt) for people with advanced cancers that have a specific change in the TP53 gene, called Y220C. The drug is designed to target this change and may slow or stop cancer growth. Some participants may also receive an immunotherapy drug called pembrolizumab (Keytruda).
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 12 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+ - 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+ - 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.
Chambersburg, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06267729RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
A new cell therapy for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new cell therapy (AZD0754) for metastatic prostate cancer that has stopped responding to standard hormone therapy and chemotherapy. It’s looking for people whose cancer has gotten worse despite prior treatments, and who are still in fairly good health.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–130 - NCT05413421RecruitingPhase 1
ORIC-944 for metastatic prostate cancer after hormone therapy
This early-phase trial tests ORIC-944 to see how well it works and what dose is safest for metastatic prostate cancer that has progressed after hormone-targeted pills. It may help people whose cancer has stopped responding to prior prostate cancer hormone treatments.
Lancaster, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Erie, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05919264RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
FOG-001 for advanced solid tumors with certain gene changes
This trial tests a new drug, FOG-001, alone or with other treatments, for people with advanced solid tumors that have specific changes in the WNT pathway genes. It aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow their growth.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04038502RecruitingPhase 2
Comparing carboplatin and olaparib for prostate cancer with BRCA gene changes
This study compares two treatments for prostate cancer that has spread and has specific gene changes (BRCA or related genes). It aims to see which treatment works better for people whose cancer has stopped responding to other hormone therapies.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Bala-Cynwyd, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Chadds Ford, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Sayre, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05818683RecruitingPhase 1
Pasritamig plus other drugs for advanced prostate cancer
This Phase 1 study tests pasritamig (JNJ-78278343) combined with other prostate cancer treatments in people with advanced prostate cancer that has spread. It aims to find the safest dose and see whether the combinations can help slow the cancer.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Beaver, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07493512RecruitingPhase 1
Study of xaluritamig for metastatic prostate cancer
This trial tests a new drug called xaluritamig for men with metastatic prostate cancer that is resistant to hormone therapy. It is designed for those who have already tried certain hormone pills and one type of chemotherapy, and aims to see if the drug can shrink tumors or slow cancer growth.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 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.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07140900RecruitingPhase 1
Study of xaluritamig combined with hormone therapy for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new drug, xaluritamig, given with standard hormone therapy for men with prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) and is still sensitive to hormone therapy. It aims to see if the combination is safe and works better than hormone therapy alone.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06952803RecruitingPhase 3
Testing a new drug for men with BRCA-related prostate cancer
This trial tests whether adding a new drug (saruparib) to standard radiation and hormone therapy can help prevent prostate cancer from spreading to other parts of the body. It is for men with high-risk prostate cancer that has a BRCA gene mutation.
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06533644RecruitingPhase 2
SYNC-T therapy study for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a new treatment called SYNC-T Therapy (SV-102) for men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer that has progressed after other treatments. The therapy is given directly into a tumor to help your immune system fight the cancer.

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.
