Focused ultrasound plus new hormone therapy for advanced prostate cancer
Part of Cancer, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests combining a focused ultrasound treatment (high-intensity focused ultrasound) with a new type of hormone therapy for men with advanced prostate cancer that has spread. The goal is to see if this combination can help control the cancer better than hormone therapy alone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are at least 18 years old.
- You have just been diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body or is growing outside the prostate (confirmed by a special scan called PSMA PET/CT).
- You have not yet had any treatment for this prostate cancer.
- Your overall health is fairly good, with no major organ problems.
- You are willing to sign a consent form to take part in the study.

This trial studies whether a high-intensity focused ultrasound treatment can help people with localized prostate cancer while still avoiding traditional full-dose treatment for some patients. It may be an option for certain intermediate-risk cases where the cancer is confined to the prostate.
This trial tests a combination of hormone therapy, chemotherapy (docetaxel), and a targeted drug (apalutamide) with a focused ultrasound procedure (HIFU) for men with prostate cancer that has spread to many bones or organs. It may help control the cancer more effectively.
This trial studies a focused ultrasound treatment called HIFU for prostate cancer that appears limited to the early stages. It aims to treat cancer within the prostate while avoiding treatment spread to lymph nodes or distant organs.
This trial tests if a focused ultrasound treatment can safely and effectively treat prostate cancer that has come back after radiation therapy. The ultrasound uses sound waves to heat and destroy cancer cells in a specific area of the prostate while sparing healthy tissue.
This trial tests a gentler treatment called focal therapy that targets only the part of the prostate with cancer. It's for men whose prostate cancer has a Gleason score of 7, low PSA, and hasn't spread outside the prostate.
This Phase 2 study tests whether combining hormone treatment (androgen deprivation therapy) with focal ablation (targeted destruction of prostate tissue) controls intermediate-risk prostate cancer. It may help some men avoid or reduce more aggressive treatment, while still aiming for cancer control.
