Education boosts genetic testing in black prostate cancer patients
NCT ID NCT05958082
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 18, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This pilot study aims to see if a brief educational session can increase the number of Black men with aggressive prostate cancer who complete genetic testing. Researchers will enroll 50 men who identify as Black or multiracial and have high-risk prostate cancer. Participants will attend an education session and then be offered a commercial genetic test. The main goal is to measure how many men actually get tested after the session.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Men, age greater than or equal to 18 years of age. 2. Men who racially identify as black or multiracial including black 3. Diagnosis of prostate cancer of any histology. 4. Must meet NCCN guidelines for germline testing 1. Men with very low, low or intermediate risk prostate per NCCN guidelines with a positive family history or intraductal histology. Family history here is considered significant if the patient has: * a first degree relative with prostate cancer or more than one first/second degree relative with prostate cancer, or * ≥3 cancers on same side of family, especially diagnoses ≤50 years of age: bile duct, breast, colorectal, endometrial, gastric, kidney, melanoma, ovarian, pancreatic, prostate (but not clinically localized Grade Group 1), small bowel, or urothelial cancer 2. Men with high-risk, very-high risk (per NCCN definitions of risk groups), lymph node positive, or metastatic prostate cancer independent of family history of histology. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Have had prior germline testing. 2. Have somatic genetic testing that is positive for a possible germline variant.
