Integrated Research Organization & Global Consortium

Advancing the science of prostate cancer clinical trials

The PCCTC is an integrated research organization (IRO) and global clinical consortium formed to address critically unmet needs in prostate cancer. We design, implement, and complete innovative, process-driven clinical studies that translate scientific discoveries into improved standards of care.

>22%of active early-phase prostate cancer clinical trials in the US are PCCTC investigator-led
27therapeutic candidates advanced to phase 3 study, nine fully FDA-approved
334PCCTC studies enrolling over 17,800 participants
547abstracts and 207 academic papers published from PCCTC research
