Men at High Genetic Risk for Prostate Cancer
NCT03805919 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
Background: Research studies have shown that genetic changes and family history may increase a man s risk for prostate cancer. Researchers want to follow the prostate health of men who have specific genetic changes associated with prostate cancer to help them learn more about which men are at higher risk for prostate cancer. Objectives: To study men with specific genetic changes and determine who is at higher risk for getting prostate cancer. To study if certain genetic changes and family history can be used to help prevent or treat prostate cancer. Eligibility: Males between ages 30-75 who have one or more specific genetic changes but without prostate cancer. Design: * This study does not perform genetic testing. All participants must have documented genetic changes and able to provide a copy of the report. * Before enrollment, participants will provide a copy of documented genetic changes and go through a telephone interview to determine eligibility for the study. * On enrollment, participants will have medical and family history review, medication review, physical exam, blood collection for clinical and research testing, and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) of the prostate. * Every year, participants will repeat the physical exam, medical history, family history, medication review, routine blood tests, including PSA and testosterone. * Every 2 years, participants will repeat all the above plus prostate MRI and blood tests for research. * If, at any time, the physical exam, blood tests or MRI are abnormal, participants may be asked to do a biopsy. * If the biopsy results in prostate cancer, participants will be given counseling on next steps, general treatment recommendations, and then followed with a phone call each year. * Participants may ask to speak with a genetic counselor.

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT03805919
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT03805919 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 500 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is National Cancer Institute (NCI), which has 2,390 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 1 condition, with Prostatic Neoplasms appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 0 interventions. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT03805919 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Maryland. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
