Can we boost genetic testing for advanced prostate cancer?
NCT ID NCT07209176
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study aims to increase the use of next-generation sequencing (NGS) testing in men with metastatic prostate cancer at Johns Hopkins. Researchers will test ways to overcome barriers for both doctors and patients. About 256 men newly diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer will take part. The goal is to see if these efforts lead to more patients getting tested.
