All recruiting trials (14)
-
Intraoperative Hyperspectral Imaging to guide prostate cancer removal
This study tests a hyperspectral imaging device during prostate surgery to see if it can help identify cancer at the edges of the removed tissue in men with localized prostate cancer.
-
Focal Micro-boost Radiotherapy for Localized Prostate Cancer
This study tests whether adding a small, targeted boost to MRI-visible prostate lesions during moderately hypofractionated radiotherapy can improve cancer control in men with localized intermediate- to high-risk prostate cancer.
-
Sonablate HIFU Registry for Prostate Cancer and BPH
This registry collects real-world data from men treated with Sonablate HIFU to see how well it works and how it affects urinary and sexual function over the long term.
-
Water IV: See if Aquablation helps localized prostate cancer patients choose active surveillance
This trial tests whether Aquablation therapy can be as safe and effective as choosing active surveillance for men with localized prostate cancer who are considering surveillance instead of immediate treatment.
-
Whole-gland prostate dose boost versus SBRT alone for PSMA-staged localized and locally advanced prostate cancer
We will test whether adding a whole-gland radiation boost (with brachytherapy or a stereotactic boost) improves cancer control compared with SBRT alone in men whose prostate cancer is confined to the prostate on PSMA PET.
-
Oxybutynin ER to help early urinary continence after robotic prostatectomy
This trial will test whether taking a daily extended-release oxybutynin pill helps men regain urinary control sooner after robot-assisted prostate removal.
-
Comparing adaptive SBRT to standard image-guided SBRT for localized prostate cancer
This study is testing if a new type of targeted radiation therapy for prostate cancer can improve urinary health compared to the standard radiation treatment.
-
Using high-intensity focused ultrasound to treat localized prostate cancer
This study is testing a new ultrasound treatment for localized prostate cancer to see if it works as well as surgery.
-
Comparing two types of radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer after surgery
This study is testing whether a new type of radiotherapy after prostate surgery is safer and more effective than the standard treatment for men with localized prostate cancer.
-
Radical hypofractionated radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer
This study is testing a new way of giving radiation therapy to see if it can safely treat localized prostate cancer while causing fewer side effects.
-
Reducing prostate cancer treatment from 5 to 3 doses of radiotherapy
This study is testing whether giving fewer doses of radiotherapy for early prostate cancer can still be just as effective and have fewer side effects for patients.
-
Using 18F-DCFPyL Imaging to Evaluate Prostate Cancer Treatment Response
This study is testing whether a special imaging agent can help doctors see how well treatment is working for men with localized prostate cancer who are receiving radiation therapy.
-
Carbon ion therapy with imaging guidance for prostate cancer
This study is testing if a new type of radiation therapy using carbon ions can effectively treat localized prostate cancer while keeping side effects low.
-
Atezolizumab-based therapy for men with localized prostate cancer before surgery
This study is testing a new immunotherapy treatment for men with localized prostate cancer to see if it helps their immune system fight the cancer before they have surgery.
NIH-funded research (13)
Early-stage science funded by the US National Institutes of Health. Most of these projects don't enroll patients, but they show what is being worked on.
-
Deep learning MRI biomarkers to predict prostate cancer outcomes
A Yale-led project uses advanced MRI images and artificial intelligence to better predict how localized prostate cancer will behave in patients.
-
Exercise therapy to slow progression in localized prostate cancer on active surveillance
A study will test whether a structured home-based exercise program helps men with localized prostate cancer who are on active surveillance avoid moving to treatment or worsening, compared with usual care.
-
Biomarkers to identify aggressive prostate cancer early
A patient-friendly program to find and validate biomarkers in urine and tumor tissue that can flag aggressive prostate cancer early so men can get the right treatment sooner.
-
Home walking program for men on active surveillance for low-risk prostate cancer
This project sees if a year-long home treadmill walking program can change cancer-related markers and help men with low-grade prostate cancer on active surveillance avoid early treatment.
-
Precision pre-surgery therapy for high-risk PTEN-loss prostate cancer
This grant plans a targeted, pre-surgical treatment for men with high-risk localized prostate cancer who have PTEN loss, using intensified hormone therapy plus an AKT inhibitor before surgery.
-
Better tests to find aggressive early prostate cancer
This project develops urine and tissue biomarker tests and decision tools to help men with early prostate cancer learn whether their cancer is likely to be aggressive and needs treatment.
-
Targeted therapy for aggressive prostate cancer with PTEN loss
This study is testing a new treatment for men with high-risk localized prostate cancer that has lost a specific gene, aiming to combine hormone therapy with a special drug before surgery to help shrink the cancer and improve outcomes.
-
Understanding genetic communication for localized prostate cancer
This study is looking at how men with localized prostate cancer and their caregivers talk about new genetic tests that can help with treatment choices, and it wants to see if educational videos can make these conversations easier for everyone, no matter their background.
-
Evaluating gene expression tests for localized prostate cancer treatment decisions
This study is looking at how gene testing can help find the best treatment for men with localized prostate cancer, so they can avoid unnecessary treatments and get the right care based on their individual risk.
-
Identifying biomarkers for aggressive prostate cancer
This study is looking for special markers in prostate fluids and tumor tissues to help tell the difference between aggressive and non-aggressive prostate cancer, so that patients can get more personalized treatment based on their specific risk.
-
Examining the effects of exercise therapy on prostate cancer progression
This study is looking at how regular treadmill walking at home might help men with low-grade localized prostate cancer who are being closely monitored, to see if it can change their cancer in a positive way and possibly lessen the need for tougher treatments.
-
Using AI to predict the progression of high-risk localized prostate cancer
This study is looking to help veterans with high-risk localized prostate cancer by using advanced technology to better predict how likely they are to stay cancer-free, so doctors can tailor treatments to each patient's needs.
-
Investigating how centrosome instability contributes to prostate cancer
This study is looking at how problems with tiny structures in our cells, called centrosomes, might contribute to prostate cancer, with the hope of finding better ways to diagnose and treat the disease for patients like you.
