NCT00087139
Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as ixabepilone, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. This phase II trial is studying how well ixabepilone works in treating patients with metastatic prostate cancer that has not responded to previous hormone therapy.
NCT00945477
A growing body of literature supports the role of angiogenesis in the development and spread of a variety of human cancers including prostate cancer. * Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression is low in normal prostate tissue, but markedly increased in tumor tissues, and has a positive association with tumor stage and grade * Plasma VEGF levels are significantly elevated in patients with hormone refractory prostate cancer (HRPC) compared to those patients with localized disease and have been associated with disease progression in other cancer patient population. * The Cancer and Leukemic Group-B demonstrated that VEGF levels correlate with survival. Pazopanib is a potent multi-target receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitor of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors.
NCT00450970
The SPERA trial is designed to 1. provide satraplatin to physicians with patients who have hormone refractory prostate cancer (HRPC) which has progressed following unlimited cytotoxic chemotherapy regimens for metastatic disease and 2. to evaluate the safety of oral satraplatin in this patient population.
NCT00515112
The purpose of this study is to determine whether prostate cancer growth can be slowed in patients who receive Androgel® 1% at 10 gram dose.
NCT00439270
The purpose of this study is to find the recommended doses of dasatinib and docetaxel given in combination to men with metastatic hormone refractory prostate cancer and to assess the pharmacokinetic interactions between the 2 drugs.
NCT00385580
The purpose of this study is to learn if men with metastatic prostate cancer and rising Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA), who have been surgically castrated or are undergoing androgen deprivation with Luteinizing Hormone Releasing Hormone (LHRH) treatment, respond to dasatinib. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.
NCT00048659
The purpose of this study is to determine if patients who take YM598 in addition to mitoxantrone and prednisone (standard therapy) experience improvement in the pain associated with prostate cancer metastases in the bone.
NCT00323882
Multicenter study in which patients with metastatic hormone refractory prostate cancer (HRPC), who have not had previous chemotherapy or immunotherapy treatments, received MDX-010 every 3 weeks for 4 doses (12 weeks total duration of induction). MDX-010 was administered at escalating dosage levels of 3, 5, and 10 mg/kg/dose infusions. At least 6 patients were to be enrolled in each dosage level. Patients who tolerated and responded to treatment or who had stable disease for 3 months or longer and who subsequently progressed during the follow up phase of the study had the option to receive additional treatment with MDX-010, up to 4 cycles. Patients were followed in the study for response up to 2 years and were followed for survival status for up to 5 years after enrollment.
NCT01161563
The purpose of this study is to compare how subjects feel after receiving injections of two different types of GnRH six months apart. One injection is given under the skin of the abdomen, and the other one into the muscle of the buttock or thigh.
NCT00833248
The purpose of this phase 3B trial was to see how well a new trial drug (degarelix) works in terms of reducing the size of the prostate volume in prostate cancer patients who were scheduled to undergo subsequent radiotherapy for treatment of their prostate cancer. Prior to receiving radiotherapy, it is recommended that patients with intermediate to high risk prostate cancer are pre-treated with hormone therapy (so-called neoadjuvant therapy) which is known to reduce the size of the prostate and thereby decrease the required radiation field and enable a more safe and effective treatment. In this trial, participants were randomly selected (like flipping a coin) to receive either degarelix given alone or a standard hormone therapy (combination of goserelin and bicalutamide. The treatment was given for three months and the prostate size was measured by ultra sound at the beginning and at the end of the trial. The participants were required to come to the clinic for 5 or 6 visits during the three months.
NCT00946920
A phase 3, open-label, parallel group, one year trial comparing the efficacy and safety of degarelix 3-month depot with the established therapy goserelin acetate 3-month implant in patients with prostate cancer.
NCT00295750
The study was a three-arm, active-control, multi-centre, parallel group study.
NCT00005960
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy in treating patients who have prostate cancer that has not responded to hormone therapy.
NCT00918385
This is a phase II multi-center study to determine the clinical impact of using a patient-specific genomic expression signature of androgen receptor (AR) activity to determine therapy for patients with castration-resistant metastatic prostate cancer (CRPC). After patient eligibility is determined, the genomic signature will be applied to fresh frozen tissue harvested from a metastatic lesion during image-guided biopsy. After assessing for androgen receptor activity, the investigators will select patients for either continued androgen manipulation with nilutamide (high AR activity) or targeted therapy with dasatinib (low AR activity). Once patients develop a first progression on either arm, patients will receive combination therapy with dasatinib and nilutamide. The primary aim is to estimate the median progression free survival in men with CRPC treated according to tumor AR activity. The investigators hypothesize that by treating men based upon AR activity, median progression free survival (PFS) will improve from a historical median of 3.0 months to 6.0 months.
NCT00485303
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of abiraterone acetate in participants with advanced prostate cancer (a disease in which cells in the prostate gland become abnormal and start to grow uncontrollably, forming tumors).
NCT00004879
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies such as ABX-EGF can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of monoclonal antibody ABX-EGF in treating patients who have either renal (kidney), prostate, pancreatic, non-small cell lung, colon, rectal, esophageal, or gastroesophageal junction cancer.
NCT00084825
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy such as docetaxel work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth. Giving docetaxel with imatinib mesylate may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving docetaxel with imatinib mesylate works in treating patients with androgen-independent prostate cancer and bone metastases that progressed while receiving docetaxel and a placebo on clinical trial MDA-ID-030008.
NCT00080678
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth. Combining docetaxel with imatinib mesylate may be effective treatment for androgen-independent prostate cancer and bone metastases. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying docetaxel and imatinib mesylate to see how well they work compared to docetaxel alone in treating patients with androgen-independent prostate cancer and bone metastases.
NCT00924469
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of abiraterone acetate plus leuprolide acetate and prednisone, versus leuprolide acetate alone in male participants with prostate cancer (a disease in which cells in the prostate gland become abnormal and start to grow uncontrollably, forming tumors) who are suitable candidates for prostatectomy (surgery to remove all or part of the prostate gland).
NCT00002703
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of conventional radiation therapy with high-dose radiation therapy in treating men with stage I or stage II prostate cancer.
