This study looked at a combination of two drugs, talazoparib and temozolomide, in 16 men with advanced prostate cancer that had spread and stopped responding to hormone therapy. The goal was to find the safest dose and see if the drugs could shrink tumors. The study was completed…

This early-phase study tested a combination of two oral drugs, abemaciclib and darolutamide, in 10 men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer that had spread despite standard hormone therapy. The main goal was to check safety and side effects. The trial was terminat…

This phase 2 trial tested two drugs—cabozantinib and abiraterone—together in 54 men with castration-resistant prostate cancer that had spread to bones. The goal was to see if the combination could delay cancer growth. However, the study was stopped early by the sponsor for busine…

This study tested a vaccine called PROSTVAC-V/F in 33 men who had their prostate removed due to cancer and were at high risk of the cancer returning. The goal was to see if the vaccine could keep cancer from coming back. The study was stopped early, so results are limited, but it…

This early-stage trial tested an experimental drug called NUV-868, alone or with other cancer drugs, in 82 adults with advanced solid tumors (including ovarian, pancreatic, prostate, and breast cancers). The goal was to find safe doses and check for early signs of effectiveness. …

This study looked at whether men with prostate cancer could take a lower dose of the drug abiraterone (combined with prednisone) and still control their cancer. About 50 men who had never taken abiraterone before were enrolled. The goal was to find the smallest dose that still lo…

This study tested whether a high-resolution PET-MRI scan using a prostate-specific tracer (18F-PSMA) can find cancers that standard MRI might miss. 62 men with prostate cancer considering focal therapy or surgery received both scans, and results were checked with biopsies. The go…

This pilot study looked at how the sleep drug zolpidem (Ambien) is processed in men with prostate cancer before and after they start hormone therapy that lowers testosterone. Researchers compared these results to healthy women, since women are known to have higher drug levels. Th…

This study tested whether an online video simulator helps surgeons learn laparoscopic radical prostatectomy, a surgery for prostate cancer. It enrolled 29 surgeons who were new to the procedure, comparing those who used the simulator to those who did not. The trial was terminated…

This study aimed to see if a substance in the blood called uPAR can help predict how well men with advanced prostate cancer respond to the drug abiraterone. Only 3 men were enrolled before the study was stopped early. The goal was to find a simple blood test that could guide trea…
