STAGE IV PROSTATE CANCER AJCC V8

This study tests a radioactive drug called lutetium Lu 177 dotatate in men with advanced prostate cancer that has neuroendocrine features. The drug seeks out and kills cancer cells that have a specific protein on their surface. The goal is to see if it can shrink tumors. About 35…

This phase 2 trial is testing the drug talazoparib in people with advanced solid tumors that have specific mutations in DNA repair genes. Talazoparib works by blocking a protein called PARP, which cancer cells use to fix their damaged DNA, leading to cancer cell death. The study …

This study tests two drugs, cabozantinib and atezolizumab, in 33 men with a type of advanced prostate cancer that has spread and no longer responds to hormone therapy. The goal is to see if the combination can stop or shrink tumors. Participants must have non-measurable disease o…

This study tests whether giving abemaciclib before a radioactive drug (177Lu-PSMA-617) can make prostate cancer cells more sensitive to radiation. About 30 men with advanced, treatment-resistant prostate cancer will receive abemaciclib pills for two weeks, then the radioactive th…

This study tests whether adding the drug talazoparib to standard hormone therapy can better control advanced prostate cancer that still responds to hormone treatment. About 70 men with cancer that has spread will receive the combination. The goal is to see if this approach lowers…

This study tests whether a precise, short-course radiation method (SBRT) works as well as a slightly longer radiation approach (hypofractionated radiotherapy) for men whose prostate cancer has come back or spread to a few spots after surgery. About 118 participants will receive o…

This phase 3 trial is testing whether adding surgery to remove the prostate or radiation therapy to standard drug treatment helps people with prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. About 1,273 participants will receive either standard therapy alone or standar…

This study tests whether a short course of hormone therapy (relugolix) can make PSMA PET/CT scans better at finding prostate cancer that has spread to lymph nodes. About 30 men with high-risk prostate cancer will get the hormone drug for 5, 10, or 15 days before their scan. The g…

This study tests whether adding cryoablation (a procedure that freezes and kills cancer cells) to standard radiation therapy provides better pain relief for people whose cancer has spread to their bones. About 40 participants with various cancers will be split into two groups: on…

This study compares giving standard prostate cancer treatment at home versus in a clinic for Black men with advanced or metastatic prostate cancer. The goal is to see if home treatment improves patient satisfaction, safety, and reduces stress. Thirty-eight participants will recei…

This phase II trial compares the side effects of two standard treatments for advanced prostate cancer: abiraterone plus prednisone versus darolutamide alone. Researchers will track how many patients experience severe side effects (grade 3 or higher) over the course of treatment. …

This phase 2 trial tests whether wearing bright white light glasses can reduce fatigue and improve mood in men with advanced prostate cancer who are on hormone therapy. The study will compare immediate use of the light therapy to delayed use in 210 participants. The goal is to he…

This study is looking at how common low vitamin D levels are among Black men with prostate cancer, and whether vitamin D supplements can improve their immune function. Researchers will measure vitamin D and immune markers in blood samples before and after supplementation. The goa…

This study tests whether a network of peer genetic coaches can help African American men with metastatic prostate cancer overcome barriers to genetic testing. The coaches are trained to provide education, address concerns, and guide men through the testing process. The goal is to…

This study looks at whether having a trained peer navigator—someone who guides patients through the process—helps African American men with advanced prostate cancer better understand and complete genetic testing. Genetic testing is important for treatment decisions, but many pati…
