ONC-392 has not yet been approved by the…
The purpose of this study is to help researchers understand more about the possible effectiveness and safety of apalutamide when given to patients with or without intermittent Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) to treat metastatic Castration-Sensitive Prostate Cancer (mCSPC). Apalutamide is a type of drug that blocks the action of testosterone. By blocking…
Pain is a natural response to injury to let us know there may be damage to our bodies. Pain is the way our body tells us that we must take care of ourselves. Chronic pain is different and lasts for a long time. In some cases, chronic pain remains without any sign of body damage. Today, there is no way for a doctor to measure someone's chronic pain or…
The purpose of this study is to determine whether HB-302/HB-301 therapy is safe and well tolerated. This will be the first time HB-302/HB-301 will be tested in humans. HB-302/HB-301 has not yet been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The purpose of this study is to see whether immunotherapy with BMS-986218 added to degarelix (which suppresses your testosterone) given prior to surgery can decrease the chance that your cancer will come back compared to degarelix alone. People who usually have this type of prostate cancer usually do not receive any additional therapy prior to surgery.
In Phase 1b, the purpose is to learn how well patients with Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) tolerate the treatment when PLX2853 is added to ongoing treatment with abiraterone acetate and prednisone. We are looking for the highest dose of PLX2853 that can be given safely to patients with your type of disease who are already on…
The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness and safety of an experimental drug known as HPN424 (also known as study drug) in patients with advanced prostate cancer. This drug has been tested in animals but not yet in people. This study tests different doses of HPN424. We want to find out how good the drug is at treating prostate cancer. We also…
This study is for patients with prostate cancer and that require treatment because their disease is now growing. The purpose of this study is to see whether immunotherapy with nivolumab added to degarelix or nivolumab and BMS-986253 added to degarelix is safe and can decrease the chance that the cancer will come back. Degarelix is a standard of care drug…
We are doing this study to test a drug called MGD009. MGD009 is like an antibody, which is a protein in your blood that helps get rid of germs in your body. MGD009 is made to attach to cancer cells and to T-cells, which are a part of your immune system. Certain T cells have the ability to kill other cells, including cancer cells. By attaching to cancer…
You are being asked to participate in this research study because you have been diagnosed with metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and are scheduled to start a new treatment. The purpose of this study is to see if changes in 18FDCFPyL (PyL) PET/CT scans before starting your new treatment and after 6 weeks on treatment is associated with…
Eligible participants will be asked questions about their symptoms, complete questionnaires, and receive sessions of Cognitive-Behavioral therapy consisting of Exposure and Ritual Prevention (EX/RP) accompanied by the use of a mobile app. The purpose of this study is to assess whether the mobile app may be effective in improving symptoms of OCD.
This research study is investigating a new treatment for cancer that uses your immune system (a type of white blood cell called T cells or T lymphocytes) to try to attack your cancerous cells. T cells fight infections, and may attack cancer cells, in some cases. Currently, your T cells may not able to attack your cancerous cells. The use of these modified T…
The purpose of this study is to assess the effects of a single infusion of ketamine for adolescents and young adults with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Ketamine is a FDA-approved anesthetic medication that can possibly cause a rapid decrease in OCD symptoms. To be eligible to participate, patients need to have already tried at least one SRI…
You are being asked to join this study because you have either been diagnosed with prostate cancer and will be having surgery to remove your prostate or you will be having a prostate biopsy to look for prostate cancer. This study is looking to see if a new imaging device, diffuse optical tomography (DOT), can detect prostate cancer. We will also see if DOT…
The purpose of this pilot research study is to test whether certain components of the marijuana plant, known as "cannabinoids", may help to reduce symptoms in patients with OCD. Specifically, patients enrolled in the study will smoke marijuana containing different concentrations of 2 different cannabinoids, THC and CBD. Both of these agents act on…
This study will enroll participants with prostate cancer that were treated by removing the prostate or by giving radiation (or both), but whose blood prostate specific antigen (PSA) level is going up. PSA is produced by the prostate and other tissues, and when it goes up, it means that the prostate cancer is coming back. In this study, participants will…
This study is investigating how the brains of people with OCD may change with treatment. The study uses Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to scan the brain, and the treatment used is a form of Cognitive-Behavioral therapy consisting of Exposure and Ritual Prevention (EX/RP). Participants will undergo a scan, which lasts for approximately 2 hours and takes…
This research study will look at whether computer tools (also called decision aids) help prostate cancer patients better understand their treatment options and help patients talk about their treatment preferences with their doctors
The study aims to assess the impact of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on brain imaging and neurophysiological measures in patients with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD).
The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical benefit (i.e., does it help to improve or slow down the cancer) of adding study drug JNJ-56021927 to combined treatment of abiraterone acetate plus prednisone to treat patients with metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC). This study will also evaluate the possible side effects of study…
The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness (how well the drug works), safety, and tolerability of the investigational drug called nivolumab when combined with rucaparib, docetaxel or enzalutamide in participants with late stage prostate cancer that was unable to be surgically removed. These three combinations: nivolumab plus rucaparib, nivolumab…
The Center for OCD and Related Disorders is currently conducting a study in treating Obsessive-compulsive Disorder (OCD), which is a severe illness characterized by distressing intrusive thoughts, images, or impulses about a variety of themes (e.g., fears of contamination or harm) and repetitive behaviors such as excessive washing or checking. The study is…
This study is being conducted to evaluate the performance of the ConfirmMDx and SelectMDx tests for Prostate Cancer to identify patients with increased risk for clinically significant disease, to ultimately lower the rate of repeat biopsies. Approximately 1000 people are expected to take part in this study.
The purpose of this clinical trial to find out if the investigational medication pembrolizumab in combination with enzalutamide + Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) is safe and works to slow down or stop the growth of metastatic prostate cancer compared to enzalutamide + ADT alone. Pembrolizumab is a type of immunotherapy, which may help the bodys immune…
The goal of this study is to evaluate how the results of a novel laboratory developed and validated urine test which predicts the likelihood of high grade prostate cancer will impact the decision on whether you will have a prostate biopsy to rule out prostate cancer. Approximately 1,000 subjects will be enrolled in this study. The study is expected to last…
The purpose of this study is to see if 18FDCFPyL (PyL) PET/CT scans are able to find prostate cancer tumors. PyL is a radioactive drug (tracer) that targets prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA). Because PSMA is a protein found mostly on the surface of prostate cancer cells, we are testing to see if PyL will be able to correctly identify prostate cancer…
