NCT01434290
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. Given radiation therapy in different ways may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial studies radiation therapy to see how well it works in treating patients with prostate cancer.
NCT04175730
Whether a quantitative detection specfic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) protocol improves prostate cancer (PCa) detection in biopsy naïve men is not adequately studied.
NCT00578123
The goal of the study is to look at surgical recovery and quality of life for men who have an open versus robotic-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RP). RP is a procedure that removes the prostate gland. We want to see how long it will take you to return to health and strength after surgery. Quality-of-life (QOL) means how you feel about your life and your treatment of prostate cancer. The QOL surveys ask questions about your sexual, urinary and bowel functions. We will also ask questions about your use of health care services, out-of-pocket-spending on medical care and about your return to work, in order to learn about the financial impact of prostate cancer treatment. We hope that the surveys will help show how prostate cancer treatments affect your daily life after surgery.
NCT04278261
This trial is comparing the functional and oncological outcomes in treating men with prostate cancer between high-frequency irreversible electroporation and laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.
NCT02485691
Primary Objective: To compare the radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) (using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors \[RECIST\] 1.1 for tumor lesions and Prostate Cancer Working Group 2 (PCWG2) criteria for bone scan lesions or death due to any cause) with chemotherapy (cabazitaxel plus prednisone, Arm A) versus Androgen Receptor (AR)-targeted therapy (enzalutamide or abiraterone acetate plus prednisone, Arm B) in mCRPC participants who have been treated with docetaxel and who had disease progression while receiving AR-targeted therapy within 12 months of AR treatment initiation (less than or equal to \[\<=\]12 months, either before or after docetaxel). 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 and duration of tumor response. * Pain response and time to pain progression. * Symptomatic skeletal event (SSE) rate and time to occurrence of any SSE. * Health status and Health-related Quality of Life (HRQOL). * To evaluate the correlation of a signature of resistance to AR-targeted agents with clinical outcome via the analysis of circulating tumor cell (CTC) phenotypes as well as expression and localization of proteins including AR isoforms in CTCs. * To evaluate safety in the 2 treatment arms.
NCT03373006
To investigate the utility of fluciclovine F 18 for evaluation for metastatic disease in men undergoing laser focal therapy of prostate cancer and the impact on inclusion for a focal therapy cohort.
NCT02715583
Patients with castrate resistant prostate cancer (CRPCA) with osseous metastatic disease planning to undergo Ra-223 therapy may be eligible for this study. Positron emission tomography (PET/CT) imaging will use the investigational radiotracer \[11C\]acetate. Imaging will occur prior to Ra-223 therapy and after 2 cycles, in addition to standard of care 99mTcMDP bone scan at baseline and a research 99mTc-MDP bone scan post-therapy
NCT04235556
A centralized unit for integrated management of care pathway in Oncology has been created. This unit settles the patients' appointments (biopsy, intravenous device, chemotherapy, imaging, oncologist...). The aim of this study is to assess the delay between the first appointment with the oncologist and the beginning of the antitumoral treatment, and therefore evaluate the efficacy of the care pathway unit. The second aim is to assess the satisfaction of patients and health care teams.
NCT02961257
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the incidence of grade ≥ 3 neutropenia and/or neutropenic complications (febrile neutropenia, neutropenic infection) with two schedules of cabazitaxel (bi-weekly versus tri-weekly) plus prednisone in elderly men (≥ 65 years) with mCRPC previously treated with a docetaxel-containing regimen.
NCT01517802
The purpose of this study is to collect follow-up safety data from participants in completed abiraterone acetate studies for a maximum duration of 9 years.
NCT03228108
This study aims to assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of rectal swab culture-guided antimicrobial prophylaxis to reduce infectious complications after transrectal prostate biopsy. Half of participants will receive routine empirical prophylaxis with oral ciprofloxacin (control group), while the other half will receive rectal culture-guided oral antibiotic prophylaxis (intervention group). In the intervention group, men whose rectal swabs do not show ciprofloxacin-resistant bacteria will receive ciprofloxacin prophylaxis, comparable to the control group. In case of ciprofloxacin-resistant bacteria an alternative oral antibiotic based on the culture results will be prescribed (trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, fosfomycin or pivmecillinam/augmentin). The investigators hypothesise that the targeted prophylaxis group (intervention group) will have a lower rate of post-biopsy infectious complications compared to the control group.
NCT04251546
Prostate cancer (PCa) is a high incidence tumor of elderly men. In recent years, its incidence has rapidly increased in China. Serological examination of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is particularly important in the early diagnosis of PCa, but its specificity is lower in gray areas with PSA between 4-10 ng / ml. Proposition of prostate health index (PHI) strengthens the specificity of PSA gray area prostate cancer diagnosis, but the composition of the index only relies on serological examination, neglects imaging indicators, and cannot be comprehensively evaluated. Based on the preliminary basis of PHI research in the undergraduate department, combined with ultrasound imaging indicators of total prostate volume (TPV), this research group prospectively analyzed the efficacy of PHI combined with TPV to predict prostate cancer in patients with PSA gray areas, and established an improved version of PHI-TPV combination. The prediction model mPHI assesses the sensitivity of the new model to predict the risk of prostate cancer in the Chinese population, provides data support for puncture decisions of middle-aged and elderly male patients in the gray area of PSA in China, and provides reference and guidance for the individualized prevention and treatment of prostate cancer.
NCT01818986
In this i-SABR (immunotherapy + Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiation) trial, the stereotactic radiation to multiple metastatic sites is delivered not only to eradicate sites of bulky progressive disease, but also to provide antigen presentation and immune stimulation which is expected to act synergistically to the concurrently administered immunotherapy Sipuleucel-T and thereby significantly improve the treatment outcome for metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer patients (mCRPC). Both Sipuleucel-T and SABR are FDA approved therapeutic cancer treatment
NCT03537391
Prostate cancer (PC) is the most common cancer among men and one quarter of diagnosed PC are metastatic at the time of diagnosis. Accurate staging is paramount as the stage is the most important factor when treatment decisions are made. The stage is also the single most important prognostic factor. Currently, traditional imaging methods for detection of PC metastasis, including bone scan (BS) and contrast enhanced whole-body computer tomography (CT), are rather inaccurate. Respectively, novel imaging techniques are evolving and novel imaging modalities are emerging in PC diagnostics and staging, but their clinical relevance is unclear and lacking prospective studies comparing traditional imaging with novel imaging. This prospective single-institutional study compares the diagnostic accuracy of novel imaging modalities to traditional imaging modalities aiming to find the most appropriate staging modality in high-risk PC at the time of initial staging.
NCT05355727
Around 375,000 cancers are diagnosed in the UK annually, with this figure expected to reach 500,000 by 2035. As the number of different cancer treatment options and our scientific understanding continue to grow rapidly, it can be difficult for clinicians to keep up-to-date with best practice, causing unjustified variations in the quality of care and clinical outcomes for patients. Currently, when a patient has been referred to and seen by a clinician, their treatment is then discussed in a Multi-Disciplinary Team Meeting (MDTM). MDTM is a meeting of medical experts, including Surgeons, Oncologists, Nurses, and specialists in cancer, imaging and diagnosis. This is the case even if a treatment decision is straightforward. A nationwide review published by CRUK in 2017 highlighted the demands on cancer teams and the MDTM process: * Increased caseloads are causing dramatic increases in the time spent by clinicians in MDTMs, leading to an unsustainable rise in costs: the cost in England has increased from £88m to £159m in 4 years; * There is not enough time in the MDTM to discuss complex cases; * There is a failure to involve patients in the decision-making process: around 75% of patients feel their views are unrepresented in MDTMs; In our study we are looking at the potential of technology - particularly Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) - to improve MDTM decision making. Deontics has a CE marked AI-based CDSS that integrates individual patient data and preferences with evidence-based clinical guidelines. This dynamically and transparently generates best-practice, individualised treatment recommendations which can help determine treatment. Deontics' AI tool has already been shown to provide personalised recommendations concordant with UK best practice while incorporating patient values, and can be used to safely triage less complex patients straight to treatment with minimal clinical oversight. Our project partners with Deontics to develop PROSAIC-DS - A CDSS for prostate cancer.
NCT03203460
The broad goal of the Exercise During Active Surveillance for Prostate Cancer (ERASE) trial is to examine the effects of exercise in prostate cancer patients undergoing active surveillance.
NCT03295565
Rationale: The aim of this study is to identify the optimal second line treatment option for patients with a poor prognosis metastasized Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) with respect to Clinical Benefit Rate (CBR) rate and quality of life. Objective: The primary endpoint is CBR in mCRPC patients with poor prognostic features and previously treated with docetaxel, randomized between cabazitaxel (Arm A) and novel hormonal agents (abiraterone OR enzalutamide) as second-line therapy (Arm B). Intervention: Patients in Arm A will receive cabazitaxel and prednisone and patients in Arm B will receive abiraterone and prednisone OR enzalutamide. Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: Treatment regimens evaluated in this trial are used in common mCRPC treatment practice and are reimbursed. Risk of side effects or death as a result of treatment is not affected by the trial design. At baseline, prior to each treatment cycle and at end of treatment, patients are requested to visit the out-patient clinic, where a physical exam will be performed in combination with vena puncture for blood analysis. Radiological evaluation will be performed at base line, after 3 months of treatment and at end of treatment. All above mentioned interventions can be considered as standard practice. Patients are requested to fill out QoL and pain/analgesic use questionnaires at base line, prior to each cycle and at end of treatment.
NCT05319145
The PROFIT study has two complementary aims. The first aim is to compare, in a cohort study enrolling N=257 older adults (\>65 years) with lung, gastrointestinal and prostate cancer, different easy measures of frailty (Geriatric 8 questionnaire (G8), Short physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and the IF-VIG), testing their ability to predict survival, functional status (ECOG, Barthel Index), quality of life (EuroQol5D) and resources utilization (visits, hospital admissions, treatments) at 3, 6 and 12 months. The second aim, which motivates the registration in ClinicalTrials.gov, is to conduct a randomized controlled trial (RCT) enrolling N=134 patients per group, with similar characteristics to those enrolled for aim 1, but with mild-moderate frailty (G8≤14 points); we will compare a multi-component CGA-based intervention including physical exercise and nutritional recommendations with usual care, measuring the impact on the same outcomes as for aim 1, at 3 and 6 months. The use of ad hoc eHealth solutions (App/platform for exercise) will foster patients' empowerment and sustainability of the intervention. We will also assess patients, caregivers, and professionals' experience with the intervention through focus groups. Participants will be recruited from outpatients and from post-acute care units.
