NCT04272645
This research is studying two experimental drugs, abemaciclib and atezolizumab, alone and in combination with each other, to learn about the safety and effectiveness of these treatments and their side effects. This is an investigational study treatment for adult men with metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have progressive disease despite previous treatment with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). One group of men (men without a genetic mutation called "CDK12 loss") will receive abemaciclib therapy alone. Two other groups of men (men with CDK12 loss in one group and men without CDK12 loss in the other) will receive the combination of abemaciclib and atezolizumab. Another group of men with CDK12 loss will receive atezolizumab therapy alone.
NCT00488982
This is a two-arm, randomized Phase II study of intermittent chemotherapy with and without GM-CSF. All patients will receive six 21-day cycles of docetaxel 75 mg/m2 on Day 2 of each cycle and 5 mg prednisone twice a day on Days 1-21. Following six cycles of chemotherapy, eligible subjects will be randomized to no maintenance therapy or to maintenance GM-CSF therapy. The GM-CSF group dose schedule will be 250 mcg/m2 subcutaneous (SQ) daily Days 15-28 every 28 days. Patients in both groups will continue until disease progression at which time GM-CSF will be discontinued and chemotherapy will again be administered.

NCT03887091
This research study is evaluating the effectiveness of video and web-based communication in clinical research compared to standard practices.
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.
NCT02991911
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and tolerability, describe the dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or maximum administered dose (MAD \[in the absence of establishing the MTD\]) for single agent MEDI3726 in subjects with mCRPC who have received prior treatment with abiraterone or enzalutamide, with or without a prior taxane-based chemotherapy in the mCRPC setting.
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.
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.
NCT00001469
Molecular approaches to the understanding of human neoplastic disease have revealed that multiple genetic alterations are an essential component of tumorigenesis. Both germline and somatic genetic alterations can be involved in the malignant transformation of normal cells. Identification of the genes involved in neoplastic transformation has been approached through the molecular analysis of sporadic cancers and the genetic study of families with an inherited predisposition for cancer. The interplay of these two approaches has led to the characterization of genes such as the retinoblastoma (Rb) gene, the p53 gene and the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene that are all involved in the development of both hereditary and non-hereditary forms of cancer. Inherited mutations in such genes predispose affected families to hereditary cancer syndromes, affording an opportunity to identify genetic lesions that also cause the more common sporadic cancers. Prostate cancer (PRCA) is the most common cancer diagnosed (1999 estimate 179,300 cases) and the second leading cause of cancer mortality (1999 estimate 37,000 deaths) in men in the United States. Family history is the single strongest risk factor currently known for prostate cancer. This raises the possibility that heritable genetic factors may be involved in the development of this disease in a subset of men. The genetic contribution to diseases of complex origin such as cancer is often most salient in families of early onset cases. Therefore, prostate cancer inheritance following a simple Mendelian pattern may be identified in the families of probands with early-onset cases. Common susceptibility alleles of small effect may be detectable in families with later-onsent and/or less strong family history of PRCA or in case-control data.
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.
NCT03081481
The purpose of this study is to determine a safe, effective, and tolerable dose of PRX302 for the treatment of low to intermediate risk prostate cancer.
NCT02066961
The purpose of this study is to describe patterns in disease management and to describe clinical outcomes, as well as to identify factors influencing physician treatment decisions including reason(s) for treatment choices and trigger(s) for treatment changes and to document healthcare resource utilization used to manage treatment-related complications.
NCT02379390
Primary Objective: To demonstrate the superiority in term of radiographic Progression-Free Survival (rPFS) of cabazitaxel at at 25 milligram per meter square (mg/m\^2) plus prednisone (Arm A) versus either enzalutamide at 160 milligram (mg) once daily or abiraterone acetate at 1000 mg once daily plus prednisone (Arm B) in chemotherapy-naïve participants with metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) who have disease progression while receiving androgen receptor (AR) targeted therapy (abiraterone plus prednisone or enzalutamide) within 12 months of treatment initiation (≤12 months). Secondary Objective: * To compare efficacy for: * Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response rate and Time to PSA progression (TTPP). * Progression Free Survival (PFS). * Overall Survival (OS). * Tumor response rate in participants with measurable disease (RECIST 1.1) * Pain response and time to pain progression. * Symptomatic skeletal events (SSE) rate and time to occurrence of any SSE. * To analyze messenger ribonucleic acids (mRNAs) including androgen-receptor splice variant 7 messenger RNA (AR-V7) as a biomarker in Circulating Tumor Cells (CTCs). * To evaluate safety in the 2 treatment arms.
NCT00339664
Cancer patients in clinical trials donate various human samples (e.g., serum, plasma, blood, urine, feces, bile, saliva) for research purposes. The purpose of this study is to conduct further analyses on these existing samples from clinical trials that are being performed outside of, but in collaboration with, the National Cancer Institute.
NCT00003232
RATIONALE: Some drugs used in chemotherapy can reduce the pain experienced by some people with cancer. Combining more than one drug may be more effective at reducing cancer pain. It is not known whether receiving combination chemotherapy with clodronate is more effective than receiving combination chemotherapy without clodronate for hormone refractory metastatic prostate cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized double-blinded phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy using mitoxantrone plus prednisone with or without clodronate in treating pain in patients with hormone refractory metastatic prostate cancer.
NCT00002633
RATIONALE: Hormones can stimulate the growth 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. It is not yet known whether hormone therapy plus surgery is more effective than hormone therapy plus radiation therapy for prostate cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying giving hormone therapy alone to see how well it works compared to giving hormone therapy together with bilateral orchiectomy or radiation therapy in treating patients with stage III or stage IV prostate cancer.
