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.
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.
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
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.
NCT02655822
This is a phase 1/1b open-label, multicenter, dose-selection study of ciforadenant, an oral small molecule targeting the adenosine-A2A receptor on T-lymphocytes and other cells of the immune system. This trial will study the safety, tolerability, and anti-tumor activity of ciforadenant as a single agent and in combination with atezolizumab, a PD-L1 inhibitor against various solid tumors. Ciforadenant blocks adenosine from binding to the A2A receptor. Adenosine suppresses the anti-tumor activity of T cells and other immune cells.
NCT02981368
This study evaluates the safety and diagnostic performance of 18F-DCFPyL Injection in patients with at least high risk prostate cancer who are planned for radical prostatectomy with lymphadenectomy (Cohort A) or in patients with locally recurrent or metastatic disease willing to undergo biopsy (Cohort B). Cohort B is complete and no longer recruiting subjects.
NCT03424837
This is a parallel group, multisite prospective clinical study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether ASCENT enables patients to adhere to the survivorship guidelines and improves coordination of care to address patient needs.
NCT01138527
The primary objective of this prospective multi-centre study is to prove the diagnostic accuracy of in vivo 3T multi-modality Magnetic Resonance Imaging (high resolution T2-weighted MRI, DCE-MRI, MRSI and DWI techniques) in distinguishing carcinoma from other prostate tissue. The gold standard for distinguishing the tissue types is the analysis of whole-mount sections of the resected prostate by a genitourinary histopathologist.
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.
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).
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.
NCT01960998
Many men develop urine leakage after prostate cancer surgery. Usually it is temporary, but pelvic floor muscle training and exercise (including urine control strategies) have been shown to reduce the time to regaining urine control. This study tests an evidence-based, pelvic floor muscle training program that has been adapted to telehealth format and pilot tested in a VA-funded pilot/developmental trial. Training is begun 1-4 weeks before surgery and continued 6 months after surgery. Content is accessed on a secure website in daily 10-minute sessions which transition to weekly sessions for post-operative months 3-6. In the investigators' pilot study, Veterans reported that they appreciated receiving the training in the privacy of their homes, enjoyed the interactive style of the learning experience, and felt better prepared to deal with urine leakage and empowered with new knowledge and skills to help themselves. Content for both control and treatment groups includes general information about prostate cancer; perioperative care; wetness, odor and skin care management. The treatment group will ALSO receive pelvic floor muscle training and bladder control strategies. Outcomes are measured with brief validated questions administered by the telehealth platform, and again at 9 and 12 months by mailed questionnaire or the telehealth platform.
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.
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.
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.
NCT02411786
The purpose of this study is to determine if a vaccine called pTVG-AR can enhance the participant's immune response against prostate cancer.
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.
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.
NCT01931046
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of AD5-SGE-REIC/Dkk-3 in patients with localized prostate cancer.
NCT02552121
The purpose of the trial is to establish the tolerability of tisotumab vedotin (HuMax-TF-ADC) dosed three times every four weeks (3q4wk) in a mixed population of patients with specified solid tumors.
