PROSTATE CANCER (DIAGNOSIS)

This study is testing how well a virtual cancer care program works for veterans. It will look at 1,800 veterans newly diagnosed with lung, colorectal, prostate, or breast cancer. The goal is to see if the telehealth program improves access to care, quality of treatment, and reduc…

This study is testing if a lower dose of the drug abiraterone, taken with food and a steroid, can lower testosterone levels in men with prostate cancer without needing the standard, more intense hormone-blocking injections. It involves 60 men in Argentina and Bolivia who need str…

This early-stage study is comparing two different targeted radiation drugs for men with high-risk prostate cancer who are planning to have surgery. The goal is to see which drug might be more effective at delivering radiation to the tumor and potentially priming the immune system…

This study is testing a new approach to diagnose serious prostate cancer while trying to avoid unnecessary biopsies. Researchers want to see if using an MRI scan along with a specific blood test can help doctors decide which men truly need a biopsy. The goal is to detect dangerou…

This study is testing a new robotic device called ProBot to see if it is safe and practical for performing prostate biopsies. The device is designed to be more precise and potentially cause less discomfort during the procedure, which is used to diagnose prostate cancer. Researche…

This study is testing a new blood test called HeLP™ that analyzes proteins in platelets to see if it can better detect prostate cancer and assess its seriousness. Researchers are enrolling 300 men aged 40+ who are already being checked for possible prostate cancer. Participants w…

This study aims to develop a new, non-invasive method to determine how aggressive a prostate cancer is. Researchers will use a special PET scan and artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze tumors in 220 men. The goal is to create a 'virtual biopsy' that could reduce the need for r…

This study compares two different biopsy methods to improve prostate cancer detection. Researchers want to see if a simpler, more targeted approach can find significant cancers as well as the current standard method while causing less discomfort. About 600 men who need their firs…

This study is testing if adding a special scan called a PSMA PET to the usual MRI can better detect if prostate cancer returns in men who have had focal therapy. Researchers will follow 62 men for about a year after their treatment to compare how well the two scans find returning…

This study tests whether a digital exercise program with live virtual group sessions helps men with prostate cancer stick to regular exercise while on hormone therapy. Researchers want to see if this convenient approach overcomes common barriers like travel time and motivation, h…

This small pilot study is testing a new support program for men about to start hormone therapy and radiation for prostate cancer. The program includes 12 weeks of exercise and a 4-day educational retreat, aiming to help patients better handle treatment side effects. Researchers w…

This study aims to understand how prostate cancer is diagnosed and treated in Algeria by tracking 2000 patients. Researchers will collect information about patients' backgrounds, symptoms, tests, treatments, and outcomes. The goal is to create a detailed picture of current care p…

This study follows men whose initial prostate biopsy showed no significant cancer but whose MRI scans showed suspicious areas. Researchers will perform repeated MRI scans and biopsies over time to see if changes in the MRI images can predict when cancer might develop. The goal is…

This study aims to understand how the immune system changes in prostate cancer patients receiving brachytherapy (a type of internal radiation treatment). Researchers will track immune cells and other markers in blood and tissue samples taken before, during, and after treatment. T…
