Columbus, Ohio
This phase III trial studies how well standard systemic therapy with or without definitive treatment (prostate removal surgery or radiation therapy) works in treating participants with prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Addition of prostate removal surgery or radiation therapy to standard systemic therapy for prostate cancer may lower the chance of the cancer growing or spreading.

Hormone Therapy + Medications for Prostate Cancer
Cleveland, Ohio
The purpose of this study is to test if treatment with medications that reduce the male hormone level in the participant's body for a few months before surgery can shrink prostate cancer as much as possible, which might reduce the chances of the cancer coming back in the future. These treatments include a hormone injection given monthly or every three months and the study drugs, which include abiraterone acetate, prednisone, and apalutamide.
These medications are being used in combination with surgery and maybe radiotherapy because studies have shown that any single approach on its own is not sufficient to control or get rid of the cancer especially if they have high risk or aggressive features. The researchers hope to learn if combining the study drugs with surgery and radiation will get rid of the cancer from participants' prostates and reduce their prostate-specific antigen (PSA) to an undetectable level.

Surgical Approaches for Prostate Cancer
Chicago, Illinois
This trial compares a new type of prostate cancer surgery to the standard one. The new surgery aims to avoid cutting important tissues and nerves, which might help reduce side effects like urinary problems and sexual dysfunction. The study will see if this new method controls cancer just as well while improving quality of life.

Background:
Prostate cancer is a common cancer among men. There are several ways to treat it, including hormone blocking drugs, radiation therapy, and surgery. Researchers want to combine abiraterone and enzalutamide to see if there is a better way to treat prostate cancer. They also want to study a new radiotracer called 18F-DCFPyL, with the help of a scan called positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) to see if there is a better way to detect prostate cancer.
Objective:
To develop improved techniques to localize and detect prostate cancer; and to develop new ways to treat prostate cancer
Eligibility:
Men ages 18 and older with prostate cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body
Design:
* Participants will have a medical evaluation to determine eligibility for the study.
* Participants will take three different medications daily by mouth and receive two injections during the course of the study.
* Participants will have a medical evaluation monthly (for 6 months) while taking the medications.
* Participants will have prostate MRI and PET/CT scans before treatment, 2 months after starting treatment and again before surgery. The radiotracer will be given by injection about 2 hours before the whole-body scan. The PET/CT scan itself is about an hour.
* Participants may be asked to do a biopsy before treatment and 2 months after starting treatment.
* Participants will have a full medical evaluation before surgery to remove their prostate.
* Participants will have a follow-up visit 3 months after surgery and then as needed.
* Participants will be contacted once a year for their PSA and testosterone levels for 5 years...

Trimodality Therapy for Prostate Cancer
Durham, North Carolina
This study will enroll prostate cancer patients with an unfavorable intermediate- or high-risk diagnosis. The purpose of this study is to determine whether a regimen of pembrolizumab and low dose prostate radiation or low dose prostate radiation alone prior to a prostatectomy affects cells of the immune system and if it is a safe option for this stage of prostate cancer. Participants will be randomized 1:1 (like flipping a coin) to receive pembrolizumab, low dose prostate radiation and a prostatectomy or low dose prostate radiation and a prostatectomy. Pembrolizumab is an investigational drug that increases the ability of the immune system to kill tumor cells. Low dose radiation can alter the way tumor cells look to the immune cells. For example, the immune cells may express different proteins that make them more susceptible to immune cell killing or the structure of the tumor may be altered to allow the immune cells to infiltrate the tumor more thoroughly. The prostate tissue collected from the prostatectomy will be analyzed for differences in pathology and local immune cell infiltration, and participants will be followed for 2 years to watch for prostate specific antigen (PSA) recurrence and prostate cancer recurrence.

Prostatectomy for Prostate Cancer
New Brunswick, New Jersey
This randomized phase II trial studies how well surgical removal of the prostate and antiandrogen therapy with or without docetaxel work in treating men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Antiandrogen therapy may lessen the amount of androgens made by the body. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Surgery, antiandrogen therapy and docetaxel may work better in treating participants with prostate cancer.

Ipilimumab + Degarelix for Prostate Cancer
New York, New York
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and/or bad, taking ipilimumab with degarelix before surgery to remove the prostate, followed by more degarelix and ipilimumab after the surgery, will have on prostate cancer.
The goal of this trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of a multimodality approach combining hormones and immunotherapy in prostate cancer populations that are considered incurable and standardly treated with hormones alone, and represent clinical states prior to development of castration-resistant disease. There are 2 cohorts. The first will use ipilimumab and degarelix prior to and following radical prostatectomy in men with newly diagnosed, oligometastatic, castration-sensitive disease. The second cohort will include men who have already received definitive local therapy with radical prostatectomy but have since experienced biochemical and/or metastatic recurrence.

"I have dealt with voice and vocal fold issues related to paralysis for over 12 years. This problem has negatively impacted virtually every facet of my life. I am an otherwise healthy 48 year old married father of 3 living. My youngest daughter is 12 and has never heard my real voice. I am now having breathing issues related to the paralysis as well as trouble swallowing some liquids. In my research I have seen some recent trials focused on helping people like me."

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.How do clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length is 12 months.How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.Do I need to be insured to participate in a medical study ?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.What are the newest clinical trials ?
Most recently, we added Trimodality Therapy for Prostate Cancer, Surgical Approaches for Prostate Cancer and TULSA Procedure vs. Radical Prostatectomy for Prostate Cancer to the Power online platform.Popular Searches
