PROSTATE CARCINOMA

This phase 3 trial tests whether adding darolutamide to standard hormone therapy (ADT) after prostate removal surgery can better prevent cancer from spreading in men with high-risk prostate cancer. The study enrolls 27 men who had their prostate removed and are at highest risk of…

This phase II trial tests whether green tea catechins (GTC) can prevent low-risk prostate cancer from progressing in men on active surveillance. 360 participants will receive either GTC or a placebo daily. The study measures changes in a tumor growth marker (Ki-67) in biopsy samp…

This early-phase study tests a new oral drug, ATV-1601, in people with advanced solid tumors or certain breast cancers that have a specific AKT1 E17K mutation. The main goals are to check safety, find the right dose, and see how the drug moves through the body. About 134 adults w…

This study compares two types of brachytherapy (radiation implants) for localized prostate cancer: low-dose-rate (seed) implants and high-dose-rate (temporary) implants. About 334 men will receive one of the two treatments. Researchers will measure how well each controls cancer a…

This study is testing a new way to detect prostate cancer by looking at cells in urine using a special imaging method. Researchers will collect urine samples from 675 men aged 50-75, including those with and without prostate cancer. The goal is to see if this simple test can accu…

This study looks at whether a special type of MRI, called multiparametric MRI, can more accurately determine the stage of prostate cancer in people who are newly diagnosed and planning surgery. The goal is to see if this imaging method helps doctors find aggressive cancers and ma…

This study compares a new artificial intelligence (AI) system to radiologists for reading prostate MRI scans to detect cancer. About 130 men who are already scheduled for a prostate biopsy will have their MRI read by both the AI and a radiologist. The goal is to see if the AI can…

This study tests whether a new PET-CT scanner (RefleXion RMRS) can produce clear images of prostate cancer using a standard radioactive tracer. About 34 patients will receive both the standard scan and the new scan. If the new scanner works well, it may allow imaging and radiatio…

This study tests whether a new device called OmnEcoil can safely and effectively combine two separate prostate cancer tests—MRI and biopsy—into a single procedure. About 45 men aged 45 and older with elevated PSA or abnormal exams will participate. The goal is to see if this appr…

This study tests a new 3D MRI technique to see if it can detect prostate cancer as well as or better than standard MRI, without needing an endorectal coil. It involves 33 men with untreated prostate cancer who are scheduled for surgery. The goal is to improve imaging comfort and …

This study tests whether a modified MRI scan (called Dixon sequencing) can produce clearer images of prostate cancer than the standard MRI. Researchers will compare the two methods in 65 men who have prostate cancer and are scheduled for prostate removal. The goal is to see if th…

This study tests whether a special whole-body MRI (diffusion-weighted imaging) can better detect prostate cancer that has spread to bones or lymph nodes compared to standard bone scans and CT scans. About 98 men with high-risk prostate cancer will undergo all three imaging method…

This study tests whether a special PET scan (68Ga-PSMA-11) can help guide prostate biopsies to find aggressive prostate cancer in men who had a previous negative or unclear biopsy. About 30 men with suspected cancer will receive the scan, and if it shows a suspicious spot, that a…

This study aimed to see if a special PET/MRI scan could better find aggressive prostate cancer in men with high PSA levels (2 ng/mL or more). The scan uses a radioactive tracer that attaches to cancer cells, making them show up on images. The trial was withdrawn before enrolling …

This phase III trial is testing whether a special ultrasound contrast agent, called Definity, can help doctors see prostate cancer on ultrasound images. The study involves 70 men scheduled for prostate removal surgery. Before surgery, they receive an IV of Definity, which contain…

This study tests a procedure called prostatic artery embolization (PAE) in 17 men with low-risk prostate cancer who also have trouble urinating. The goal is to see if PAE can reduce urinary symptoms before they start radiation therapy. Participants will have their symptoms and pr…

This study tests whether combining a stimulant drug (methylphenidate) with an exercise program can reduce severe fatigue in prostate cancer patients undergoing radiation and hormone therapy. About 200 participants will be assigned to drug plus exercise, drug alone, exercise alone…

This trial tests whether having an empty bladder before CT simulation for prostate cancer radiation therapy is better than the usual full bladder. The goal is to see if it reduces urinary symptoms and makes daily treatments more consistent. About 168 men with prostate cancer will…

This phase II trial, called MATCH, is testing whether treating cancer based on the genetic makeup of a patient's tumor works better than standard treatments. Over 6,400 adults with advanced solid tumors, lymphomas, or multiple myeloma that have not responded to prior therapy are …

This research study collects tissue, blood, and other samples from 2,400 people diagnosed with breast, colon, kidney, liver, multiple myeloma, or prostate cancer at a young age. The goal is to identify genetic changes that may explain why these cancers occur early, especially in …

This study looked at whether regular screening tests for prostate, lung, colorectal, and ovarian cancers can help find cancer early and reduce deaths. Over 76,000 men and women took part, with some getting screened and others receiving usual care. The main goal was to see if scre…

This study looks at whether a special PET scan called Posluma can help doctors plan radiation therapy more precisely for prostate cancer. About 20 patients will get both a standard PET scan and an extra scan on the RefleXion X1 machine. The goal is to see if the new scan finds th…

This study is looking at tiny particles called extracellular vesicles that come from prostate cancer cells. Researchers want to see if levels of these particles in blood and urine can show how well surgery removed the cancer. They will compare samples from prostate cancer patient…

This study tests a web-based education tool called HOPE-Genomics that teaches cancer patients about their genetic test results. About 465 adults with breast, colorectal, lung, ovarian, pancreatic, or prostate cancer are taking part. The goal is to see if the tool helps patients r…

This study looks at how hormone therapy (anti-androgen treatment) for prostate cancer affects the heart. Researchers will use heart MRI scans before and after 4-7 months of treatment in 23 men. The goal is to understand changes in heart function, not to treat the cancer itself.

This study looks at inherited gene changes (like BRCA) in men with prostate cancer to understand how common they are and how they affect treatment. Researchers will collect saliva samples and health information from 1,360 men in Washington state. The goal is to improve cancer car…

This study interviews 80 immigrant men from Sub-Saharan Africa and the Caribbean who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer. Researchers want to understand how social factors like where they come from affect their health decisions, treatment, and survival. The goal is to identi…

This study aims to see how prostate tumors change on MRI scans shortly after a precise type of radiation therapy (SBRT). Researchers will compare these MRI changes with PSA levels in the blood. The study involves 28 men with localized prostate cancer and is designed to improve un…
