PROMISE Registry for Prostate Cancer Outcomes and Germline Mutations
The PROMISE Registry is an observational study for men with prostate cancer in the United States. This registry aims to understand the connection between prostate cancer and inherited genetic changes (germline pathogenic variants). You can join if you have prostate cancer, regardless of its stage, confirmed by a tissue biopsy, a high PSA level (a blood test marker for prostate health), or clear imaging results. The study will look at how often these genetic changes are found in participants over five years. The goal is to gather information that could lead to better treatments and improved survival for prostate cancer patients.
- Study design
- This is an observational study aiming to enroll about 500 men with prostate cancer. It is not testing a new treatment but rather collecting information.
- What's involved
- You would provide a saliva sample to be tested for inherited cancer risk genes. You will be recruited and screened over a five-year period.
- Compensation
- Not stated in the trial record.
- Follow-up
- The primary outcome, the frequency of germline variants, will be measured at 5 years.
