NCT01615120
Protocol G200712 is a Phase II, exploratory study to assess the effects of GTx-758 on serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) response ans serum PSA progression in men with Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) on Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists, LHRH antagonists, or orchidectomy. This study will also assess the venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk of lower doses of GTx-758.
NCT04282824
This phase I trial studies the impact of monosodium glutamate (MSG) on 68GA-PSMA-11 PET/CT in decreasing the salivary glands uptake in patients with prostate cancer. Prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a molecule that is overexpressed by the prostate cancer cells. 68GA-PSMA-11 is an imaging radioactive drug that can target this molecule in tissues for imaging and therapy of prostate cancer. Food substances, such as monosodium glutamate, may reduce salivary gland uptake of 68GA-PSMA-11. Ultimately, giving MSG may reduce potential harm and injury to the salivary glands in patients with prostate cancer treated with PSMA-targeted molecular radiotherapy.
NCT00428714
The purpose is to see how quickly two different types of prostate cancer participants respond when taking enzastaurin. Cohort 1 - asymptomatic participants with androgen-independent prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-progressive disease without clinical or radiographic evidence of metastatic disease. Cohort 2 - participants with androgen-independent metastatic prostate cancer (documented bone or soft tissue metastases) with rising PSA, clinical, radiographic disease progression following one prior docetaxel-based regimen
NCT04399824
This phase II trial studies how well focal radiation therapy with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) or high-dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy works in treating patients with low or intermediate-risk prostate cancer. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. Brachytherapy, also known as internal radiation therapy, uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells. HDR brachytherapy uses high doses of radiation to target these tumor cells. Giving focal radiation therapy with SBRT or HDR brachytherapy may target dominant tumor cells while sparing the reminder of the prostate or surrounding normal organs and ultimately reduce side effects while maintaining disease control.
NCT02709889
The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability of rovalpituzumab tesirine in subjects with specific delta-like protein 3-expressing advanced solid tumors.
NCT02357121
This is an open-label pilot, feasibility/exploratory study to evaluate the safety of laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) using Visualase in the focal ablation of prostate tissue and to gather data for the design of future studies. Intra-procedure temperature and concurrent rectal wall thermistor monitoring will be performed for internal validation. Subjects will be monitored for adverse events, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) questionnaires will be obtained. Post-treatment MRI and biopsies will be obtained to evaluate histologic and radiologic changes. Biomarker (PSA, PCA3 and PHI) kinetics will also be monitored.
NCT00959959
The purpose of this study is to determine whether TOK-001 is safe and shows biological effect in the treatment of castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).
NCT00049257
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining paclitaxel with carboplatin in treating patients who have metastatic prostate cancer that has not responded to hormone therapy.
NCT00002602
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells and may be an effective treatment for prostate cancer. PURPOSE: Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of radiation therapy in treating patients who have previously untreated stage II or stage III prostate cancer.
NCT01967862
This phase II trial studies how well fluorine F 18 sodium fluoride positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) and whole body and axial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) work in finding metastases in patients with recurrent prostate cancer. New imaging techniques, such as fluorine F 18 sodium fluoride PET/CT and whole body and axial MRI, may be more effective than standard CT and bone scan in finding metastatic prostate cancer.
NCT00007644
Radical prostatectomy provides potentially curative removal of the cancer. However, it subjects patients to the morbidity and mortality of the surgery and may be neither necessary nor effective. Expectant management does not offer potential cure. However, it provides palliative therapy for symptomatic or metastatic disease progression, avoids potentially excessive and morbid interventions in asymptomatic patients, and emphasizes management approaches for focus on relieving symptoms while minimizing therapeutic complications. The primary objective of this study is to determine which of two strategies is superior for the management of clinically localized CAP: 1) radical prostatectomy with early aggressive intervention for disease persistence or recurrence, 2) expectant management with reservation of therapy for palliative treatment of symptomatic or metastatic disease progression. Outcomes include total mortality, CAP mortality, disease free and progression free survival, morbidity, quality of life, and cost effectiveness.
NCT04337099
A single patient compassionate use clinical trial for the use of MBM-02 (TEMPOL) for the treatment of prostate cancer. The single patient will be exposed to orally administered TEMPOL for up to 12 months at a maximum total daily dose of 800mg.
NCT02458716
This phase I trial studies the side effects of cytoreductive prostatectomy in treating patients with newly diagnosed prostate cancer that has spread from the primary site to other places in the body. Cytoreductive prostatectomy is a type of surgery that removes the prostate and as much of the tumor as possible. When combined with hormone therapy, robotic assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) or conventional open retropubic radical prostatectomy (RRP) may prolong survival in patients with prostate cancer that has spread.
NCT01882985
This phase II trial evaluated the impact of giving docetaxel together with lycopene supplements in treating patients with hormone-resistant prostate cancer not previously treated with chemotherapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs, such as lycopene, to keep cancer from forming. Giving docetaxel together with lycopene may be an effective treatment for prostate cancer.
NCT03511235
Medicare is requesting outcome data on patients who received Prolaris testing and were prescribed active surveillance (AS). In order to ensure appropriate patient care, it is important to understand how this added prognostic information influences the selection and durability of AS and corresponding clinical outcomes. To address this knowledge gap, this study will evaluate how frequently men with low disease-specific mortality (DSM) risk based on Prolaris CCR score and who meet NCCN low-risk criteria initially select AS (AS selection). This study also will assess how long Prolaris-tested men who initially select AS remain on this course before proceeding to definitive treatment (AS durability), and whether AS duration impacts biochemical recurrence (BCR) and metastasis risk in these men. This retrospective, observational and multi-site study will combine patient CCR scores with longitudinal clinical data to address these questions.
NCT01194960
Based on both pre-clinical and clinical data, it may be advantageous to administer a cancer vaccine before chemotherapy to enhance immune responses, thus leading to a more effective therapeutic approach for subjects with metastatic HRPC. This clinical study will evaluate the role of combination therapy of TroVax® plus Docetaxel vs. Docetaxel alone on the progression free survival (PFS) of subjects with HRPC.
NCT00411528
The objective of this study is to assess the response of patupilone plus prednisone compared to docetaxel plus prednisone on prostate specific antigen (PSA) in patients with metastatic hormone refractory prostate cancer. Additionally, this study will assess the response on measureable disease and the effects on patient-reported outcomes.
NCT04015102
This prospective registry will evaluate the feasibility and impact of implementing standard cancer family history review and guideline-aligned genetic testing for men diagnosed with Prostate Cancer in community urology practices nationwide.
NCT00004054
RATIONALE: Hormones can stimulate the production of prostate cancer cells. Hormone therapy may fight prostate cancer by reducing the production of androgens. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. It is not yet known whether hormone therapy plus radiation therapy is more effective with or without combination chemotherapy for prostate cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of hormone therapy plus radiation therapy with or without combination chemotherapy in treating patients who have prostate cancer.
NCT00030654
RATIONALE: Androgens can stimulate the growth of prostate cancer cells. Drugs such as luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist, flutamide, and bicalutamide may stop the adrenal glands from producing androgens. Drugs used in chemotherapy work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Combining hormone therapy with chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known whether chemotherapy given at the same time as hormone therapy is more effective than chemotherapy given after hormone therapy in treating prostate cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of chemotherapy given at the same time as hormone therapy with that of chemotherapy given after hormone therapy in treating patients who have prostate cancer.
