Genetic test for men with prostate cancer and DNA repair changes
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial looks for specific DNA repair changes in men with prostate cancer. It tests if these genetic features can help guide treatment decisions. You may join if you have high-risk localized, newly metastatic, or advanced prostate cancer and have tissue available for testing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are older than 18 years.
- You have one of these prostate cancer types: high-risk localized cancer, newly spread cancer (within 3 months of starting treatment), or advanced cancer that no longer responds to hormone therapy.
- You have tumor tissue available from a biopsy or surgery (from the prostate or a metastasis).
- If you have advanced cancer, you agree to have a biopsy of a metastatic site (if needed).
- You are willing to follow the study schedule and give informed consent.

This trial studies a blood test that looks for tumor DNA in men with high-risk or advanced prostate cancer. It may help doctors understand the cancer better and guide treatment decisions.
This trial uses genetic test results from your prostate cancer to guide treatment choices. It may help find therapies that better match the specific gene changes in your cancer.
This trial looks at how inherited risk (family history or gene findings) relates to screening and treatment for prostate cancer. If you qualify, you may be offered prostate screening tests and follow-up to see how well risk information predicts next steps.
This trial tests different drugs before prostate surgery based on a person's genetic profile. It aims to find better treatments for high-risk prostate cancer that hasn't spread yet.
This study tries to personalize prostate cancer care by matching treatment decisions to a person’s specific risk profile. You might be able to join if you have certain types of prostate cancer or a strong family history and meet health-function requirements.
This study looks at your personal and family risk for prostate cancer and helps decide who should have extra screening like MRI. It may help you find cancer earlier if you are at higher genetic risk.
