NCT03308734
Prostate cancer is the cause of the greatest number of years lived with disability due to cancer. Treatment for prostate cancer is associated with significant side effects, such as fatigue, loss of muscle mass, strength and reduced quality of life. Cardiovascular disease risk is also increased and accounts for the largest cause of mortality in these patients. Exercise and physical activity are known to have benefits in patients with prostate cancer but time, motivation and enjoyment are often barriers. Reduced Exertion High-Intensity Interval Training (REHIT) interventions in the general population achieve similar or greater physiological benefits to continuous moderate intensity exercise but for less time commitment. Higher intensity training is also perceived as more enjoyable in both healthy populations and cancer survivors. REHIT could therefore be a potential solution to these barriers. The aim of this project is to investigate whether a REHIT intervention results in improved cardiorespiratory fitness in patients with prostate cancer. 30 patients will be recruited and randomised to a control group or the intervention group. Both groups will undergo cardiorespiratory fitness testing pre- and post- the 6 week period of the trial. The intervention group will take part in REHIT using maximal oxygen uptake capacity (VO2 MAX) measured on a cycle ergometer. The REHIT intervention will be over 6 weeks, involving 3 sessions per week lasting 10 min and incorporating 2 Wingate sprints of 20 seconds. Pre-intervention values for VO2MAX will be compared to post-intervention values to establish whether REHIT improves cardiorespiratory function in patients with prostate cancer.
NCT01691976
MCI with ageing is thought in part to be related to reduced serum sex hormones which is well-recognised, especially in females, but poorly understood. International studies assessing hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to prevent/reduce MCI are ongoing. MCI leads to morbidity, reduced quality of life and substantial healthcare costs. The commonest therapeutically induced reduction in sex hormone level in men is treatment of prostate cancer (PCa). PCa is androgen dependent and androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) suppressing testosterone to castrate levels is key therapy for advanced disease. About one million men worldwide have received ADT for PCa, mostly using luteinising hormone releasing-hormone agonists (LHRHa) although oral oestrogens were used in the past; eventually perhaps 4% of Caucasians may be castrated. MCI as a side-effect of castration in men remains poorly researched. This pilot study will quantify the extent of MCI in men receiving ADT with LHRHa and oestrogen to inform the design of a larger study to understand mechanisms, predict affected patients and determine ways of reducing MCI. Researching relationships of sex hormones and MCI should improve understanding and interventions for slowing/preventing MCI in PCa survivors. HRT in women slows MCI. Alternatives for ADT include parenteral oestrogen. The PATCH clinical trial comparing transdermal oestrogen with LHRHa offers an opportunity to assess oestrogen as preventative for male MCI. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG) and neuropsychological tests will be used to test this hypothesis.
NCT04632251
This study is a prospective, open label, single-arm study to examine the performance and safety of the SENSEI® laparoscopic tethered gamma probe in patients undergoing 99mTc-nanocolloid SLNB for prostate cancer (PCa) during RP and ePLND surgery. Patients scheduled for RP and ePLND using the standard treatment pathways at each centre will have preoperative 99mTc-nanocolloid imaging. RP and ePLND will be conducted as standard of care, with SLNB guided by the SENSEI® laparoscopic tethered gamma probe carried out after RP and prior to ePLND. The first 2 patients per site (N = 10 in total) are considered to be sufficient to enable further familiarisation with the procedure and use of the probe in addition to the usability work and training that the sites did prior to the start of this study. Subsequent patients will be evaluable for the PP population. The primary analysis of diagnostic performance will be performed using the PP population of patients with SLN identified on preoperative imaging
NCT02229565
The purpose of this study is to further elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying prostate cancer disparities. In previous work the investigators have identified a set of differentially deregulated genes in African American versus Caucasian American prostate cancer. Based on these findings, they hypothesize that they will be able to validate these targets, originally identified in the previous work conducted at The George Washington University Medical Center, in an independent Duke University Medical Center cohort of prostate cancer specimens. In addition, the investigators hypothesize that they will be able to discover novel targets in the Duke University Medical Center cohort of prostate cancer specimens because of regional differences.
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.
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.
NCT02969564
The number of metastases in a patient with primary or recurrent prostate cancer has major prognostic implication. The purpose is to compare, in a pilot study, the diagnostic performance of 18F-NaF-PET/MR with respect to the results of the scintigraphy 99mTc-MDP-SPECT/CT (routine exam) for determining the presence or absence of bone lesions in prostate cancer patient, with up to five metastases (oligo-bone metastatic) based on scintigraphy 99mTc-MDP-SPECT/CT. The gold standard will be a combination of clinical follow-up, additional imaging and biopsy, as indicated by the multidisciplinary discussion at the tumor board. The findings from whole-body 99mTc-MDP-SPECT/CT, 18F-NaF-PET/MR, and the combination of the 2 modalities will be categorized by 2 teams of 2 readers as benign or probably benign, equivocal, or malignant or probably malignant and compared with the results of follow-up for JAFROC and ROC analysis.
NCT00453661
The goal of this behavioral research study is to improve the use of cancer prevention services, increase early detection, and treatment of cancer. A secondary outcome of this demonstration project proposes that a structured patient navigator (PN) will reduce the cost of Medicare services.
NCT04602208
Single-center evaluation of all patients treated for primary localized prostate cancer with focal HIFU from November 2009 to December 2016. To evaluate midterm oncological outcomes of focal HIFU therapy in low an intermediate risk prostate cancer.
NCT03419442
The study will be conducted from a real-world perspective to describe treatment sequences involving radium-223 and chemotherapy in patients with metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and assess overall survival (OS) associated with treatment sequences involving radium-223 and chemotherapy. While clinical trials of radium-223 has demonstrated a survival benefit in the treatment of mCRPC, both pre and post- docetaxel, study lacked exposure to second generation androgens and hence could not assess outcomes pre or post abiraterone or enzalutamide. The specific objective of this study is to describe and compare the clinical outcomes between treatment sequences for patients with mCRPC where 1) radium-223 is used (alone or in combination with abiraterone or enzalutamide) prior to chemotherapy versus 2) radium-223 used after chemotherapy in the treatment of mCRPC. The secondary objectives are to describe the safety patterns of docetaxel use among mCRPC patients who received chemotherapy post radium-223.
NCT02006927
The goal of this study is to evaluate electrical stimulation of nerves responsible for erectile function after surgery to remove the prostate (prostatectomy). Electrical stimulation of the nerves responsible for erectile function is experimental. The investigators hypothesize that the subjects can tolerate nerve stimulation.
NCT01928485
This randomized phase II trial studies how well green tea extract works in treating patients with low-risk prostate cancer. Green tea extract contains ingredients that may prevent or slow the growth of certain cancers.
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.
NCT02471469
The primary aim is to show whether a reduction in tumor related mRNAs and a panel of selected miRNAS can be used to personalize enzalutamide therapy. Furthermore the aim is to explore the relation between drug exposure and the decrease in the selected biomarkers and treatment response.
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.
NCT03110588
This trial is being conducted to determine the feasibility and recommended dose of the combination of four drugs (prednisone, abiraterone, cabazitaxel and enzalutamide (PACE) as first-line therapy for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
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.
NCT04586543
The objective of this clinical study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of selegiline plus docetaxel therapy compared to the standard of care - docetaxel therapy - among patients diagnosed with metastatic, castrate-resistant prostate adenocarcinoma.
NCT03418025
This pilot clinical trial studies how well the Exercising Together program works in helping couples cope with radiation treatment for prostate cancer. Treatments for cancer can cause side effects for the patient, such as fatigue, add stress for the spousal caregiver, and put strain on the marital relationship. The Exercising Together program is designed to promote teamwork and emotional intimacy during exercise, which itself can help manage fatigue and stress for the patient and spouse, and may facilitate communication between partners about day-to-day energy, abilities, and motivation.
