Recruiting studies in California
- NCT07790718Recruiting
Exercise program to prevent colorectal cancer after prostate radiation
This study tests whether an exercise program can help prevent colorectal cancer in men who have had pelvic radiation for prostate cancer. It involves using an iPhone app to track activity and attending exercise sessions.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 40–80 - NCT07054346RecruitingPhase 1
Radioactive drugs before prostate surgery for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial compares two radioactive drugs (177Lu-PSMA-617 and 225Ac-PSMA-617) given before prostate removal surgery in men with high-risk prostate cancer that has not spread far. The goal is to see which drug is better at shrinking the tumor and reducing the chance of cancer coming back.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06500169Recruiting
Golf exercise study for prostate cancer survivors
This study tests if golf can help men with prostate cancer feel better and stay healthy. It's for men who are on hormone therapy and want to try a gentle, fun exercise.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 55–85 - NCT05869682RecruitingPhase 2
Bright light therapy for fatigue and depression in prostate cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether a “bright white light” intervention can reduce cancer-related fatigue and depression in people with advanced prostate cancer receiving hormone-based treatment. If it works, it could improve day-to-day well-being while you’re on standard cancer therapies.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 60 years+ - NCT05805371RecruitingPhase 1
PSCA CAR-T cells with or without radiation for prostate cancer
This Phase 1 study tests a prostate cancer treatment made of PSCA-targeted CAR-T cells, with or without radiation, to help control advanced prostate cancer. It aims to find a safe treatment approach and see how well it works in people whose cancer has PSCA.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05691465RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation drug for metastatic prostate cancer with neuroendocrine cells
This Phase 2 study tests whether a radioactive medicine called lutetium Lu 177 dotatate is safe and effective for metastatic prostate cancer that has neuroendocrine features. It also checks whether patients’ scans show the cancer absorbs the drug (a requirement to start treatment).
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05398302RecruitingPhase 1
Biopsies during prostate cancer treatment to study resistance
This early study uses image-guided biopsies (small tissue samples taken with imaging) to learn why metastatic prostate cancer may stop responding to PSMA radioligand therapy. The results may help doctors understand resistance and improve future treatments.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Any age - NCT05113537RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Abemaciclib before PSMA cancer therapy for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests whether taking abemaciclib before a PSMA-targeted radioligand can help people with advanced, treatment-resistant prostate cancer. The goal is to improve how well the PSMA therapy works while staying safe.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT04857502RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Tracking prostate cancer spread before lymph node surgery
This early study uses a special imaging tracer to show where prostate cancer has spread in the pelvic lymph nodes. It may help doctors better understand how well certain scans guide surgical removal of affected lymph nodes.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges Any age - 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.
Corona, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07202247RecruitingPhase 2
Improving heart health in prostate cancer patients on hormone therapy
This study tests whether combining a time-restricted eating plan, a heart-healthy diet, and a weight-loss medication (GLP-1 receptor agonist) can help improve heart health and weight in men with prostate cancer who are receiving hormone therapy. It aims to reduce the risk of heart problems caused by hormone treatment.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 30–79 - NCT06422455Recruiting
Genetic testing for underserved cancer patients
This study offers free genetic testing to cancer patients and their healthcare providers. It aims to help people who may not have easy access to genetic testing understand their cancer risk.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06995898Recruiting
Blood test study for early cancer detection
This study is testing a new blood test that may help find cancer early. You will give blood samples over a year, and researchers will check them for signs of cancer.
Pleasanton, CaliforniaAges 45–75 - NCT07162194Recruiting
Testing AI for reading prostate MRI scans
This study uses an artificial intelligence (AI) program to read MRI scans of the prostate and compare its findings with those of expert radiologists. The goal is to see if the AI can detect prostate cancer as accurately as the human experts, which might help in future diagnosis and treatment planning.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 20 years+ - NCT04734730RecruitingPhase 2
Talazoparib plus hormone therapy for metastatic prostate cancer
This trial tests whether talazoparib added to standard hormone therapy (ADT), along with abiraterone, can better control metastatic prostate cancer that hasn’t progressed despite starting hormone treatment. It may help people live longer and delay cancer worsening.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06178354Recruiting
Freezing or ultrasound for early prostate cancer
This trial is testing whether freezing (cryotherapy) or using high-frequency ultrasound (HIFU) to destroy only the cancer spots in the prostate is safe and effective for men with early-stage prostate cancer. It's a less invasive option that targets just the tumor, not the whole prostate.
Sacramento, CaliforniaAges 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.
Dublin, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07200830RecruitingPhase 3
Testing different schedules of a targeted radiation drug for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests two different dosing schedules of a drug called Lutetium-177 PSMA RLT, which delivers radiation directly to prostate cancer cells. It is for men with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy and has spread, who have not yet had chemotherapy for this stage of the disease.
Bakersfield, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05519878Recruiting
Light plus job therapy for fatigue in genitourinary cancer
This trial tests whether light therapy and an occupational therapy fatigue program can reduce fatigue in people with certain urinary-system cancers who still have mild fatigue during treatment. It may help you feel more energized and manage day-to-day activity while cancer treatment is ongoing.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05766371RecruitingPhase 2
Immunotherapy plus targeted radiation for advanced prostate cancer
This study combines two treatments: pembrolizumab, which helps your immune system fight cancer, and a targeted radioactive medicine (177Lu-PSMA-617) that seeks out and damages prostate cancer cells. It may help men whose prostate cancer has spread despite initial hormone therapy.
San Francisco, 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.
Arroyo Grande, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07164027RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Comparing a new PSMA scan to MRI for prostate cancer detection
This trial tests whether a new imaging agent (flotufolastat F 18 PET CT) can find prostate cancer better than MRI. If you have a suspicious spot on an MRI, this study may help doctors see if the new scan is more accurate.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT05751434RecruitingPhase 2
Exercise therapy for prostate cancer patients on active surveillance
This trial tests whether an exercise program can help men with early-stage prostate cancer who are being monitored instead of treated. If you are not very active now, you may be able to join a structured exercise plan to see if it improves your health and cancer signs.
Durate, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06216249RecruitingPhase 2
Flexible dosing of Lu-PSMA for advanced prostate cancer
This trial tests a flexible dosing schedule of a targeted radiation drug (Lu-PSMA) for men with metastatic prostate cancer that has stopped responding to hormone therapy and chemotherapy. It aims to see if adjusting the treatment schedule can improve outcomes while reducing side effects.

What taking part in a prostate carcinoma 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.
