Recruiting studies
- NCT03819101RecruitingPhase 3
Aspirin plus atorvastatin for advanced, treatment-resistant prostate cancer
This trial studies whether daily aspirin and atorvastatin can slow advanced prostate cancer that has continued to grow despite hormone therapy. It may help by reducing cancer growth and inflammation, but you would need to meet several specific safety and medication rules.
OlomoucAges 18 years+ - NCT03802851Recruiting
Laser procedure before radiation for prostate cancer symptoms
This trial looks at whether doing a prostate “laser procedure” (called HoLEP) before starting radiation and hormone therapy can improve severe urinary symptoms and reduce urine retention problems. It is for people with prostate cancer who are planning radiation plus hormone treatment and who have significant bladder/urinary trouble.
Kansas City, KansasAges 18 years+ - NCT03821246RecruitingPhase 2
Atezolizumab and other drugs before prostate surgery for high-risk cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether giving immunotherapy (atezolizumab) plus another drug before surgery can shrink or control high-risk localized prostate cancer. The goal is to improve outcomes by treating the cancer early, before radical prostatectomy.
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.
Gilbert, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT03650595Recruiting
MRI-guided laser treatment for prostate cancer
This trial tests a minimally invasive prostate treatment using MRI guidance and a focal laser to destroy only the cancer spot (not the whole prostate). If you have low-to-intermediate risk, MRI-visible prostate cancer in a limited area, it may help control the cancer while potentially reducing treatment side effects.
Toronto, OntarioAges 40–80 - NCT03594760RecruitingPhase 3
PSMA PET scan study using advanced computer imaging in prostate cancer
This Phase 3 study looks at how a PSMA PET scan can predict how prostate cancer will progress and how well treatment is working. If your doctor at CHUM orders this scan, you may be able to join to help refine better predictions for future patients.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT03354416Recruiting
Imaging study of prostate cancer risk and treatment outcomes
This study looks at how prostate cancer shows up on scans and how those imaging findings relate to treatment and outcomes. It may help doctors better predict risk and guide care, especially for people with higher risk or early or suspected prostate cancer.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT03423303Enrolling by invitation
Screening test to find early prostate cancer sooner
This trial checks whether an early prostate cancer screening approach can detect clinically significant prostate cancer sooner. It may help participants catch the disease at an earlier stage when treatment can be more effective.
HelsinkiAges 50–63 - NCT03495427RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
PSMA PET scan to find early prostate cancer spread
This study uses a PSMA PET scan to look for early spread of prostate cancer in men with higher-risk genetic test results (Decipher score above 0.45). It may help doctors spot metastases sooner so treatment decisions can be better targeted.
Tampa, FloridaAges 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.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 21 years+ - NCT02759744Enrolling by invitation
Laser treatment for certain prostate tumors guided by MRI images
This trial tests whether a precisely targeted laser procedure—guided by MRI images—can treat prostate cancer. It may help some men who have a certain type and location of tumor while aiming to avoid nearby sensitive structures.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–100 - NCT02594202Recruiting
Collecting prostate cancer care details and prostate tissue samples
This trial enrolls adults who are being evaluated or treated for possible or confirmed prostate cancer and allows researchers to collect prostate tissue. It may help improve understanding of prostate cancer over the course of diagnosis and standard care.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT02526368RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Scan your prostate with special MRI using pyruvate to find high-grade cancer
This trial tests whether a specialized MRI scan using a pyruvate tracer can better detect high-grade (more aggressive) prostate cancer. It may help doctors find cancer more accurately and guide treatment decisions or targeted follow-up.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT01492972RecruitingPhase 3
Lighter radiation, with or without hormone suppression
This Phase 3 trial tests whether giving a smaller amount of radiation (“hypo-fractionated” means fewer, larger sessions) can work as well as standard approaches for intermediate-risk prostate cancer. It also compares adding hormone therapy (“androgen suppression”) to radiation versus using radiation alone.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT01834001Recruiting
MRI checks how prostate cancer responds to radiation
This study uses MRI scans to see how prostate cancer changes after radiation treatment, especially in the local (prostate-area) response. It may help doctors better judge treatment effectiveness and plan care more precisely.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT02012699Recruiting
Cancer registry for people with or at risk of cancer
This trial collects health information and samples (a “cancer repository”) to help researchers study cancer and cancer risk. You may be able to join if you’ve had cancer before or if you’re at higher risk or have concerning findings.
Greenwood Village, ColoradoAges 19–110 - NCT02016248Recruiting
Radiation “boost” for higher-risk prostate cancer
This trial studies whether adding a stronger “boost” dose of targeted radiation (SBRT) can better control higher-risk prostate cancer. It may help by increasing radiation coverage to the prostate while trying to limit treatment to surrounding areas.
Fountain Valley, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT00969111Recruiting
Radiation after prostate surgery for prostate cancer without nodal spread
This trial looks at radiation therapy given after prostate surgery (or if needed later) for prostate cancer where lymph nodes were not involved. It may help patients whose PSA rises or who need additional treatment to reduce the chance the cancer comes back.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18 years+ - NCT00949819Recruiting
Active surveillance study for localized prostate cancer
This trial studies a “watchful waiting” approach, where doctors closely monitor certain prostate cancers with regular checkups and repeat biopsies. It may help people avoid or delay treatment side effects while watching for signs the cancer needs treatment.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 30–85 - NCT00034216Recruiting
Blood Collection Study for Cancer Patients and Healthy Volunteers
This study collects blood samples from people with cancer and healthy volunteers to help researchers understand cancer better. Your blood will be used for laboratory studies that may improve future cancer treatments.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT00923221Recruiting
Donate blood for people with prostate cancer
This trial collects blood samples from adults with prostate cancer. It may help researchers learn more about the disease or how treatments work, without directly testing a new drug in the eligibility you provided.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT04086290RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Surgery plus targeted radiation for prostate cancer spread
This study looks at whether combining prostate surgery with a highly focused radiation treatment (SBRT) can control prostate cancer that has spread to a limited number of bones. It may help patients by treating the main tumor and the specific metastatic spots in a controlled way.
HerlevAges 18 years+ - NCT05010343RecruitingPhase 2
Carbon ion radiation guided by scans for prostate cancer
This Phase 2 trial tests whether using detailed scans (PSMA PET/CT and MRI) to guide carbon ion radiation—delivered in a focused way—can treat localized prostate cancer. It may help target the treatment more precisely while avoiding areas that are not involved.
ShanghaiAges 45–85 - NCT04287088Recruiting
MRI plus shared decisions to help diagnose prostate cancer
This study looks at using a special prostate MRI (bpMRI) along with a risk-based shared decision process to guide diagnosis. It may help patients and clinicians decide on next steps using MRI results and individual risk.
