How will the study achieve these goals?

To accomplish this, PROMISE will identify a group of patients with specific inherited genetic factors (i.e. inherited homologous recombination deficiency pathogenic variants) using a mouth swab DNA test. PROMISE will access each patient’s medical information via their physician every six months. PROMISE will also survey participating patients every six months about their treatment experience. This collective information will provide new insights that will help physicians and patients better understand germline genetic testing results. It will also create a new mechanism to communicate with a key group of prostate cancer patients on an ongoing basis to help connect them with new trials and treatments as germline genetic biomarker driven clinical trials are opened and approved for prostate cancer.
