NCT00057759
RATIONALE: Sildenafil may be effective in helping patients who have undergone treatment for prostate cancer to have an erection for sexual activity and may improve sexual satisfaction and quality of life. PURPOSE: Randomized clinical trial to study the effectiveness of sildenafil in treating erectile dysfunction in patients who have undergone radiation therapy and hormone therapy for prostate cancer in clinical trial RTOG-9910.
NCT00003162
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. It is not yet known which radiation therapy regimen is more effective for bone metastases. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare different radiation therapy regimens in treating patients who have bone metastases from breast or prostate cancer.
NCT01415375
This study evaluates the efficacy of a tailored telephone intervention to promote informed decision making about prostate cancer testing among predominantly immigrant black men.
NCT00694291
The purpose of this study is to measure the benefit of sorafenib in patients with a rising PSA after treatment with radiation therapy or surgery who are NOT receiving with androgen ablation therapy.
NCT00511576
The purpose of this study is to test the combination of an experimental drug known as MGCD0103 given along with an FDA-approved drug called docetaxel. This is a Phase 1 study that will look at different doses of MGCD0103 given along with docetaxel in order to better understand the effects (positive and negative) of this combination on the subject's body and disease. The study would like to find the following information: * How long MGCD0103 and docetaxel stay in the subject's body; * What effects, good and/or bad, MGCD0103 and docetaxel have on the subject and on his/her cancer; and * If the genetic and chemical make-up of the subject's blood cells and tumor cells play a role in how you respond or do not respond to MGCD0103 and docetaxel.
NCT00103194
This phase II trial studies how well lapatinib ditosylate works in treating patients with a rising prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a protein made by the prostate gland, indicating that prostate cancer has come back after previous treatment. Lapatinib ditosylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and may delay or prevent the progression of prostate cancer.
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.
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.
NCT00216060
Risedronate is an orally administered pyridinyl bisphosphonate that is 36 times more potent than pamidronate and 72 times more potent than clodronate. Four randomized, double-blind trials have been carried out in patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis. In 2 of these studies, vertebral fracture incidence was reduced by a daily dose of 5 mg risedronate by up to 65% and 49% relative to placebo after 1 and 3 years, respectively. In these trials, risedronate improved lumbar spine, femoral neck, and femoral trochanter bone mineral density (BMD) at 6 months. In addition, preclinical studies have shown that risedronate is more potent than pamidronate and clodronate in inhibiting adhesion of prostate cancer cells to bone and preventing tumor cell invasion. The incidence of osteoporosis in prostate cancer patients has been well established; therefore, it is advantageous to assess the efficacy of oral bisphosphonate therapy.
NCT00118066
RATIONALE: Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs to keep cancer from forming, growing, or coming back. The use of calcitriol may prevent prostate cancer. It is not yet known whether calcitriol is more effective than observation in preventing prostate cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well calcitriol works in preventing prostate cancer in patients with prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia.
NCT00108732
Vaccines made from a gene-modified virus may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. Biological therapies, such as GM-CSF, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Drugs, such as bicalutamide and goserelin, may stop the adrenal glands from making androgens in patients whose tumor cells continue to grow. Giving vaccine therapy together with GM-CSF and, when needed, androgen ablation may be a more effective treatment for prostate cancer. This phase II trial is studying how well giving vaccine therapy together with GM-CSF works in treating patients with prostate cancer that progressed after surgery and/or radiation therapy.
NCT01483586
This research is being done to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the investigational Kanglaite gelcap (KLTc) on PSA in men with prostate cancer when given for twelve months.
NCT02034825
This prospectively designed retrospective clinical utility study will evaluate urologists' treatment recommendations before and after reviewing Decipher results for selected patient cases.
NCT00574899
Radical Prostatectomy (removal of the prostate) or radiation therapy provide excellent outcomes for patients with localized (confined to one area) disease, yet there is still no effective treatment once the disease has spread beyond the prostate gland. Typically, a serum PSA test is done to diagnose prostate cancer. Following diagnosis, a prostate biopsy and other tests help to classify the patient's disease according to the likelihood of a recurrence. However, these assessments are imperfect. There is a need to identify and evaluate prostate biomarkers that will provide exact information regarding the likelihood of a recurrence (prediction) of prostate cancer.
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.
NCT00519233
The present study will investigate the safety, tolerability and spectrum of side effects of AGS-1C4D4. As such, this study will characterize the dose limiting toxicities (DLT) and potentially the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of AGS-1C4D4 in patients with advanced HRPC.
NCT00673127
The combination of ketaconazole and hydrocortisone is commonly used for the treatment of prostate cancer. The purpose of this study is to determine if the addition of a drug called dutasteride to this approved combination will make the combination more effective in treating prostate cancer.
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.
NCT00321646
The main purpose of this trial is to collect information and to evaluate the effects, good or bad, the combination of docetaxel and bevacizumab has on patients with high risk prostate cancer that are undergoing radical prostatectomy.
NCT01254279
The purpose of this study is to allow patients similar to that evaluated in the TROPIC trial (NCT00417079), and Investigators access to cabazitaxel for the management of metastatic Hormone Refractory Prostate Cancer (mHRPC) in those patients who have progressed during or after docetaxel and to document the overall safety of cabazitaxel in these patients. Please note that in each country, patient recruitment will end when cabazitaxel becomes commercially available.
