-
Targeted plus perilesional biopsy versus targeted plus six‑core systematic biopsy to find prostate cancer
This study will test whether adding perilesional biopsy to MRI-targeted biopsy or combining targeted biopsy with a six‑core systematic biopsy better finds clinically significant prostate cancer in men with a single MRI-suspicious lesion who have not had a prior biopsy.
-
PROSTest test in men with elevated PSA to aid prostate cancer decisions
This study tests PROSTest in men with elevated PSA to see if it can accurately detect prostate cancer using biopsy results as the reference.
-
MRI- and PHI-guided approach to decide when a prostate biopsy is needed
This trial will test whether using multiparametric MRI together with the Prostate Health Index (PHI) can safely reduce unnecessary prostate biopsies in biopsy-naïve men with suspected prostate cancer and PSA 3–20 ng/mL.
-
How prostate MRI lesions change over time with repeated biparametric scans
This trial will test whether changes seen on repeat biparametric prostate MRI predict clinically significant prostate cancer in men whose initial biopsy showed no significant cancer.
-
Castration using low-dose abiraterone plus prednisone without LHRH therapy for prostate cancer needing hormonal intensification
This tests whether taking abiraterone 250 mg with food plus prednisone can lower testosterone to castration levels within 30 days in men with prostate cancer who need hormonal intensification without using LHRH analogs.
-
Robot-assisted prostate biopsy using a new ultrasound probe
This trial will try a robot-guided ultrasound probe to take MRI-fused prostate biopsies in men 40–75 with elevated PSA, abnormal rectal exam, or prior atypical biopsy findings.
-

-
Heart-Healthy Cardio-Oncology Check for Prostate Cancer on ARPI Therapy
This trial tests whether a cardio-oncology referral and shared care between your cardiologist and your primary clinician can help reduce heart-attack and stroke risk in men with advanced prostate cancer who are taking ARPI therapy.
-
Prehabilitation for people with prostate cancer
