This study tests a new drug called DEC003M, which is designed to seek out and destroy prostate cancer cells by targeting a protein called PSMA. The trial enrolls adults with advanced prostate cancer that has stopped responding to standard hormone therapy. Researchers aim to find …

This early-phase study tests a shorter, more intense form of carbon-ion radiation for men with low- or intermediate-risk prostate cancer. Instead of the usual 12 sessions, patients receive just 6. The main goal is to check safety and side effects within 90 days. Up to 20 men will…

This early-phase trial tests whether adding two drugs (darolutamide and homoharringtonine) to standard chemo and hormone therapy can more thoroughly clear high-risk prostate cancer before surgery. About 94 men will receive the combo for 7 weeks, then have their prostate removed t…

This pilot study will test a new device that uses pulsed field ablation (PFA) to treat localized prostate cancer in 50 men aged 45 or older. The goal is to see if the procedure is safe and effective at destroying cancer cells while minimizing damage to surrounding tissue. Partici…

This early study tests a new device called Alpha DaRT, which places tiny radioactive seeds directly into prostate tumors that have returned after initial treatment. The main goal is to see if it's safe, with a secondary look at whether it can control the cancer. Up to 12 men with…

This study tests a drug called darolutamide, with or without hormone therapy (ADT), given before surgery for high-risk localized prostate cancer. Sixty men will be split into two groups: one gets darolutamide alone, the other gets darolutamide plus ADT for 3-6 months before robot…

This phase 2 trial tests a drug called teverelix DP in 40 men with advanced prostate cancer. The drug works by blocking a hormone that tells the body to make testosterone, which can fuel cancer growth. The goal is to see if a specific dosing schedule can safely lower testosterone…

This study tests whether adding the heart medication propranolol to standard hormone therapy before prostate removal can improve outcomes for high-risk prostate cancer patients. About 30 men will receive the combination treatment for several weeks before surgery. The goal is to s…

This study compares a special ultrasound (mp-US) with contrast dye to standard MRI for finding prostate cancer. About 300 men scheduled for a biopsy will get both scans to see if the ultrasound can guide biopsies just as well as MRI. The goal is to offer a simpler, cheaper option…

This study compares an AI algorithm to radiologists in reading prostate MRI scans to detect clinically significant prostate cancer. About 500 men with suspected prostate cancer will have their MRI read by both AI and a radiologist, and results will be compared. If the AI performs…

This study will test a new urine test called My Prostate Score 2 (MPS2) combined with MRI to detect aggressive prostate cancer in men aged 50-75 with elevated PSA levels. The goal is to find only the cancers that need treatment and avoid unnecessary biopsies. The trial plans to e…

This study looks at whether a blood test, called the RILA assay, can predict which prostate cancer patients will have late side effects from a precise type of radiation therapy (SBRT). About 220 men with low- or intermediate-risk prostate cancer will give a blood sample before tr…

This study will test whether a focal microwave ablation procedure for localized prostate cancer can be performed under local anesthesia instead of general anesthesia or deep sedation. Twenty eligible patients will undergo the treatment while awake, and researchers will measure ho…

This study tests a virtual reality assistant called ViRA designed to provide emotional support and help with daily needs like food and transportation for Black men recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. About 200 participants will use the ViRA app and researchers will measure h…

This study tests a daily digital mindfulness program designed to reduce depressive symptoms in people who have completed treatment for breast, prostate, or colorectal cancer. Researchers will enroll 76 participants with mild to moderate depression to see if the program is feasibl…

This study tests whether a more targeted (focal) radiation boost can better preserve urinary quality of life compared to standard whole gland treatment in men with intermediate- or high-risk prostate cancer. About 58 participants will receive either focal or whole gland high dose…

This study tests a web-based program called SCIPI that provides men with localized prostate cancer easy-to-understand information, communication tools, and social support. About 200 newly diagnosed patients will be randomly assigned to use SCIPI or receive usual care. Researchers…

This study tests whether early electroacupuncture (a type of acupuncture with mild electric pulses) can help men regain bladder control after prostate cancer surgery. About 216 men aged 18 to 80 will receive either real or fake electroacupuncture three times a week for six weeks,…

This study looks at how a short, home-based high-intensity workout affects steroid hormones in men with low-grade prostate cancer who are on active surveillance. About 49 men will do one supervised bodyweight HIIT session and provide saliva samples. The goal is to see if the exer…

This study looks at men with localized prostate cancer who had robot-assisted surgery to remove the prostate. The goal is to find which factors—like PSA levels, tumor grade, or MRI results—best predict whether the cancer will come back (called biochemical recurrence). Researchers…
