Recruiting studies
- NCT07334275Recruiting
Detecting leftover cancer cells after prostate removal
This trial tests a new way to find microscopic cancer cells (minimal residual disease) in the blood after prostate surgery. If successful, it could help doctors decide if additional treatment is needed.
NijmegenAges 18 years+ - NCT06150417RecruitingPhase 2
Study of extra radiation for prostate cancer spread to few spots
This study tests whether adding a type of high-precision radiation (MDRT) to standard hormone therapy works better for men with prostate cancer that has spread to just a few places. It is for patients who are newly diagnosed and on long-term hormone therapy.
Cleveland, OhioAges 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+ - NCT07483658Recruiting
Salvage pelvic radiotherapy: 20 vs 25 sessions for recurring prostate cancer
This trial compares two schedules of pelvic radiotherapy for men whose prostate cancer has returned after surgery. Both schedules aim to control the cancer with fewer visits for one of them.
Gatineau, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT02064673RecruitingPhase 3
Adjuvant curcumin after prostate surgery to prevent cancer return
This Phase 3 trial studies whether taking curcumin (a supplement made from turmeric) after radical prostatectomy can help keep prostate cancer from coming back. Participants are men with low-risk, surgery-only disease and undetectable PSA, and the study checks recurrence-free survival over time.
Dallas, TexasAges 30–80 - 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+ - NCT01961713Recruiting
Blood test study during prostate surgery for localized prostate cancer
This trial studies prostate cancer cells in the blood (“circulating tumor cells”) while you undergo planned prostate surgery. It may help doctors better understand prostate cancer and how it behaves early, which could guide future treatment decisions.
Boston, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT07431008Recruiting
Safety follow-up for Cellgram-ED in erectile dysfunction
This trial is a follow-up study for people who received the experimental cell therapy (Cellgram-ED) in a previous trial for erectile dysfunction after prostate removal. It checks on your long-term safety and how you are doing.
SeoulAges 19–80 - NCT07484971Recruiting
Prostate cancer study in Algeria
This study looks at how prostate cancer is found and treated in Algeria. The goal is to learn more about the disease to improve care for future patients.
Adrar, AlgeriaAges 19 years+ - NCT07500701RecruitingPhase 3
Comparing two radiation schedules for rising PSA after prostate surgery
This trial is testing two types of radiation therapy for men whose PSA level rises after prostate removal, but without clear signs of cancer spread on a PSMA PET scan. The goal is to see which radiation schedule works better to control the cancer.
Seoul, Gangnam-guAges 20 years+ - NCT07541911Recruiting
Confocal Microscopy to Check Prostate Cancer Surgery Margins
This study tests whether a special microscope can help surgeons see cancer margins (edges) during prostate removal surgery to make sure all cancer is removed. It may help surgeons make real-time decisions about how much tissue to remove.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT07607990Recruiting
Rectal Indomethacin to Prevent Catheter Discomfort After Prostate Surgery
This study tests whether a special suppository (indomethacin, a pain-relieving medication) placed in the rectum can reduce bladder catheter discomfort after laparoscopic prostate removal surgery. If it works, it could help patients recover more comfortably.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 18–80 - 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.
GothenburgAges 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+ - NCT06872619Enrolling by invitation
Prostate Cancer Research Registry
This registry collects information from people with prostate cancer to help researchers better understand the disease and improve future treatments.
MünsterAges 45–100 - NCT06768177Enrolling by invitation
Platelet-Rich Plasma for Erectile Dysfunction
This trial tests if injecting platelet-rich plasma (PRP) into the penis can improve erectile function in men who haven't had success with other treatments. It may be an option if you have moderate to severe ED, have tried other therapies, or have had pelvic surgery.
BariAges 30 years+ - NCT06470685Enrolling by invitation
Preventive prostate removal for prostate cancer risk
This study tests whether removing the prostate before cancer develops can help people at higher risk, such as those with certain gene changes (like BRCA2), a strong family history, or Black African/Caribbean ancestry. It also includes people who have already had their prostate removed for cancer treatment.
LondonAges 18 years+ - NCT05753046Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Nerve-block during robotic prostate surgery to reduce pain
This trial studies whether a laparoscopic nerve block (called a TAP block) given during robotic prostate surgery can reduce postoperative pain. It compares comfort after surgery and looks for side effects or issues that could affect results.
Royal Oak, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT04399876Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Testing an implantable device to study drug response in prostate cancer
This early-phase study uses a tiny implant placed during prostate cancer surgery planning to help researchers measure how tumors respond to treatment while still in the body. The results may help improve future treatment choices for men with intermediate- or high-risk prostate cancer.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for prostatectomy?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 139 recruiting prostatectomy studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a prostatectomy trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a prostatectomy trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
