Recruiting studies
- NCT06085664RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Immunotherapy before prostate cancer surgery
This trial tests a new immunotherapy drug (REGN5678) given before surgery to men with high-risk prostate cancer that hasn't spread. The goal is to see if the drug can shrink or control the cancer before the prostate is removed.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05975775Recruiting
Laparoscopic prostate surgery for localized cancer, as an outpatient
This trial looks at a planned, minimally invasive (laparoscopic) prostate removal for men with localized prostate cancer done as an outpatient. It aims to understand how this approach fits into care after discussion by a group of specialists.
LyonAges 18 years+ - NCT05710861Recruiting
Focal HIFU versus prostate surgery: cost and quality of life
This trial compares focal HIFU (a targeted heating treatment inside the prostate) with prostate surgery, looking at overall cost and quality of life. It may help people with certain early, limited prostate cancers understand which option fits best for them.
BesançonAges 50–75 - NCT05610852Recruiting
Surgery through the bladder opening versus focused ultrasound for prostate cancer
This trial compares two ways to treat early prostate cancer: a single small surgery through the bladder versus high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). It aims to see which approach works better while keeping side effects and recovery acceptable.
Cleveland, OhioAges 19 years+ - NCT05244486Recruiting
RestoreX traction therapy after prostate surgery
This trial studies whether RestoreX penile traction can help preserve erectile function after a prostatectomy (surgery to remove the prostate), especially when nerves are spared. If you qualify, you may be asked to use the device and be followed over time to see how erections change.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05155501Recruiting
Surgery planning approaches for localized prostate cancer
This study compares different approaches used during prostate cancer surgery for men whose cancer is only in the prostate. It may help doctors choose the safest and most effective surgical plan for your situation.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 40–80 - NCT04638088Recruiting
Robot or standard surgery for prostate removal
This trial compares different ways of doing a radical prostatectomy (surgery to remove the prostate): robot-assisted laparoscopy, conventional laparoscopy, or open surgery. It may help improve which approach is best for people having planned prostate removal.
AgenAges 18 years+ - NCT07875192Recruiting
Robotic prostate surgery in an outpatient center
This study looks at using the Hugo™ robotic system to perform prostate removal surgery in an outpatient surgery center, which may mean a shorter stay and faster recovery for patients. The trial aims to see how safe and effective this approach is for men who need this surgery.
Columbus, OhioAges 18 years+ - NCT03920033Recruiting
Radiation schedule for prostate cancer PSA relapse after surgery
This trial compares two different radiation schedules to treat prostate cancer that returned based on rising PSA blood tests after prostatectomy (prostate removal). If you qualify, it may help you and your team choose a radiation approach with the goal of controlling PSA relapse.
SeoulAges 20 years+ - NCT03541928RecruitingPhase 2
Gene therapy with standard treatment for high-risk prostate cancer
This trial combines gene therapy with hormone therapy, radiation, and possibly surgery to treat high-risk prostate cancer. It aims to improve outcomes by adding gene therapy to standard treatments and will require additional biopsies.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05022914Recruiting
PSMA PET/CT scan for PSA relapse after prostate surgery
This trial looks at using a PSMA PET/CT scan to better re-check cancer activity in men whose PSA has started rising after prostate removal. If you qualify, the scan may help doctors choose the next best treatment step.
FlorenceAges 18 years+ - NCT05109910Recruiting
Checking lymph node surgery impact in men having prostate removal
This study looks at whether removing lymph nodes during prostate removal helps predict outcomes in men whose scans do not show spread. It may help improve how doctors decide who benefits from lymph node surgery based on your risk level and scan results.
AmsterdamAges 18 years+ - NCT03753243RecruitingPhase 2
Pembrolizumab and hormone blocker before prostate surgery
This Phase 2 trial studies whether pembrolizumab plus a hormone “androgen axis” blocker taken before prostate surgery can improve outcomes for people with high-risk, non-metastatic prostate cancer. It’s designed for patients who are planning prostate removal with an extended lymph node dissection.
Portland, OregonAges 18 years+ - NCT05406999RecruitingPhase 2
Intense hormone treatment before prostate surgery for high-risk cancer
This Phase 2 trial studies giving strong hormone-based treatment before prostate surgery to shrink and control high-risk, locally advanced prostate cancer. It may help improve surgical success and reduce cancer spread risk, but it requires careful health checks and prior-treatment limits.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–80 - NCT04831970Recruiting
Ablative radiation after prostate surgery for early recurrence
This trial studies a targeted, high-intensity radiation approach given after prostate removal surgery when prostate cancer seems to be coming back locally. It may help control the disease in the pelvis while avoiding treatment that could cause more side effects.
Rozzano, MIAges 18–90 - NCT05753566RecruitingPhase 2
Rezvilutamide for prostate cancer PSA rise after prostate surgery
This Phase 2 study tests rezvilutamide in men whose prostate-specific antigen (PSA) starts rising again after the prostate has been removed. It aims to see whether this treatment can help prevent or slow cancer spread after surgery, especially in men without signs of spread on scans.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 40 years+ - NCT06305832RecruitingPhase 2
Salvage radiation plus hormone therapy with or without rezvilutamide for rising PSA
This trial tests whether adding a new oral hormone blocker (rezvilutamide) to standard salvage radiation and hormone therapy can better control prostate cancer that has come back (rising PSA) after surgery.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 40 years+ - NCT07847385Recruiting
MRI-guided nerve-sparing for prostate cancer surgery
This study tests whether using special MRI scans to map nerves before surgery helps keep erectile function after prostate removal. It may help men who are having surgery for prostate cancer and want to preserve sexual function.
Geneva, Canton of GenevaAges 18 years+ - NCT06325995Recruiting
Short radiation course after prostate surgery for rising PSA
This trial tests a shorter, stronger course of radiation (hypofractionated radiotherapy) given after prostate removal surgery. It may help people whose PSA levels rise again after surgery, aiming to reduce side effects and improve outcomes.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06521710Recruiting
Nerve grafting to preserve erections after prostate removal
This trial tests if a nerve grafting technique can help preserve erectile function after robotic surgery for high-risk localized prostate cancer. It may be an option for men with good preoperative erectile function.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06617481RecruitingPhase 2
PET scan study for early prostate cancer recurrence
This trial uses a special PET scan to detect prostate cancer when your PSA level is slightly rising after prostate removal surgery. It aims to find cancer early so treatment decisions can be better informed.
Orlando, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07678489Recruiting
Prostate surgery trial keeping the urethra intact
This trial tests a robot-assisted prostate surgery method that aims to preserve the entire urethra (the tube that carries urine out of the body) to help maintain continence. It's for men with low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancer who haven't had prior prostate treatments.
DüsseldorfAges 18 years+ - NCT07643415Recruiting
Spinal vs. General Anesthesia for Prostate Surgery
This study compares two types of anesthesia—spinal (numbing the lower body) versus general (putting you to sleep)—for men having prostate surgery to treat benign enlargement. The goal is to see which approach works better and is safer for this procedure.
ÇorumAges 18 years+ - NCT07617272RecruitingPhase 2
Testing a drug to shrink high-risk prostate cancer before surgery
This trial tests whether a hormone-blocking drug called darolutamide can shrink aggressive prostate cancer before surgery. Researchers will also use a special blood test to predict who benefits most from the treatment.
