New tool aims to make genetic testing clearer for black men with prostate cancer
NCT ID NCT06171139
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is creating and testing a simple educational tool to help Black or African American men with metastatic prostate cancer understand genetic testing for their tumors. The goal is to make counseling fairer and easier to use. About 80 men will take part, first giving feedback on the tool, then trying it out to see if it helps them learn and decide about testing.

Mixed-race, including Black or African American, is included. 3. Metastatic prostate cancer, by either chart documentation or participant self-report. Pathology report not needed. 4. Able to understand study procedures and to comply with them for the entire length of the study. 5. Able to understand a written information sheet and willing to verbally consent. 6. Fluent in English (reading, writing, and speaking) Stage 2: 1. Age 18-years-old or older 2. Identifies as Black or African American, by either chart documentation or participant self-report. Mixed-race, including Black or African American, is included. 3. Metastatic prostate cancer, by either chart documentation or participant self-report. Pathology report not needed. 4. Able to understand study procedures and to comply with them for the entire length of the study. 5. Fluent in English (reading, writing, and speaking). 6. Anticipated discussion of TGT within 0-365 days of enrollment, per treating oncology provider's discretion. TGT involves the use of any cancer genetic sequencing (whether standard-of-care or part of a research protocol) via any one of the following: 1. Somatic DNA testing of already-collected tissue. 2. Somatic DNA testing of tissue to be collected in the future via biopsy, surgery, or other procedure. 3. Blood-based DNA testing to evaluate for circulating tumor DNA. 7. Able to understand a written informed consent document and willing to sign it. Exclusion Criteria: Contraindication to any study-related procedure or assessment in either stage.
