About this trial

This study investigates ways to detect prostate cancer earlier in people at genetic risk for disease that forms, grows, or spreads quickly (aggressive). Studying samples of blood, urine, and/or tissue in the laboratory may help doctors further understand the genetics of prostate cancer and help identify ways to detect cancer earlier, thereby improving treatment and methods of early detection in the future.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

People with prostates ≥40 years of age

Documented germline pathogenic variant in known or suspected genes associated with prostate cancer risk.

Disqualifiers

Prior diagnosis of prostate cancer

Medical contraindication to any of the study procedures (e.g., prostate biopsy)

For all cancer types except non-melanoma skin cancer, any cancer treatment with curative intent within the past 12 months (e.g., surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, immunotherapy)

Prior or concurrent participation in an interventional clinical trial aimed at preventing cancer for people with germline variants associated with increased prostate cancer risk
