Genetic risk test study aims to understand prostate cancer screening choices
NCT ID NCT07197723
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how people with BRCA1/2 gene mutations react to additional genetic risk testing for prostate cancer. Researchers want to understand how this information affects their decisions about cancer screening. The study involves 150 men aged 45-70 who carry a BRCA1/2 mutation but do not have prostate cancer. It does not test a treatment, but rather gathers insights on decision-making and emotional responses.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Potential participants (i.e., male MSK patients with a documented BRCA1/2 PV) will be identified by study staff who will screen relevant clinic schedules (e.g., for the MSK CATCH high-risk screening clinic, for post-test visits in the MSK CGS) and approached by their clinician (primary genetic counselor, and/or clinician in the high-risk screening clinic or other MSK clinician) with support from study staff. Or non-MSK patients (e.g., community members) who are referred to the study by study clinicians.

Inclusion Criteria: * Documentation of Disease o Patients must not have prostate cancer (for individuals not presently receiving care at the study site, this information will be based on self-report.) * Age between 45 - 70; * Assigned male sex at birth for individuals not presently receiving care at the study site, this information will be based on self-report.) * Completed full sequence or targeted genetic testing with a result confirmed in a clinically approved laboratory showing a BRCA1/2 likely pathogenic or pathogenic variant identified, or clinician note documents a BRCA1/2 likely pathogenic or pathogenic variant * English-fluent; the surveys were designed and validated in English and are not currently available in other languages. Translation of questionnaires into other languages would require reestablishing the reliability and validity of these measures. Therefore, participants must be able to communicate in English to complete the surveys.(for individuals not presently receiving care at the study site, this information will be based on self-report.) Exclusion Criteria: * Major psychiatric illness or cognitive impairment that in the judgment of the study investigators or study staff would preclude study participation. * Any patients who are unable to comply with the study procedures as determined by the study investigators or study staff. * Under active treatment for a malignancy. (Patients are eligible if they have a prior history of malignancy other than prostate cancer, as long as they are not currently undergoing active treatment for the malignancy) (for individuals not presently receiving care at the study site, this information will be based on self-report.) * Enrolled in NCI study 19-C-0040 (Natural History of Men at High-Risk for Prostate Cancer) based on self-report * Patients with a known pathogenic and/or likely pathogenic germline variant in any hereditary prostate cancer risk gene, excluding BRCA1 and/or BRCA2, including but not limited to: HOXB13, ATM, CHEK2, NBN, PALB2, MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2,RAD51C, RAD51D and TP53. * Any patient who has had a prostate biopsy within 36 months, according to clinician note (for individuals not presently receiving care at the study site, this information will be based on self-report)
