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.
NCT02830880
The purpose of this study is to assess if using anti-1-amino-3-\[18F\]fluorocyclobutane-1-carboxylic acid (FACBC or fluciclovine) PET scan will be useful in determining if participants are responding to chemotherapy treatment. Investigators will enroll participants whose cancer has been treated with hormone therapy and now the cancer is not responding to the treatment (castration -resistant), and so therefore will be started on chemotherapy. Investigators aim to enroll thirty participants in this study.
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.
NCT02047253
This study will test how effective the drug, Carfilzomib, reduces progression of prostate cancer in patients who have previously received chemotherapy and androgen inhibitors. Carfilzomib is approved for multiple myeloma but is not approved for prostate cancer. Therefore, it is considered investigational. Other approved methods of treatment for metastatic prostate cancer have demonstrated only modest benefits. Novel and tolerable agents are necessary to make further gains and extend overall survival.
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.
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).
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.
NCT00770822
This study will compare high intensity focused ultrasound to standard brachytherapy in the treatment of primary, organ confined prostate cancer.
NCT02445976
The goal of this clinical study is to determine the efficacy and safety of Seviteronel, a lyase-selective inhibitor of CYP17 and an androgen receptor antagonist, in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) who have been previously treated with enzalutamide and/or abiraterone.
NCT00850941
The goal of this clinical research study is to create a registry (research database) of clinical data about patients who receive radiation therapy, with or without hormone therapy, to treat prostate cancer that has come back after surgical removal of the prostate. This treatment is standard and the actual treatment is not part of this protocol. The goal of this clinical research study is to create a registry (research database) of clinical data about patients who receive radiation therapy, with or without hormone therapy, to treat prostate cancer that has come back after surgical removal of the prostate. This treatment is standard and the actual treatment is not part of this protocol. Researchers want to collect data and use this registry to learn about the long-term status of prostate cancer after these treatments. This is an investigational study. Up to 500 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson, Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System, and/or MD Anderson Cancer Center Albuquerque. Researchers want to collect data and use this registry to learn about the long-term status of prostate cancer after these treatments.
NCT01727154
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immune response induced by sipuleucel-T (Provenge®).
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.
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.
NCT03414437
This is a Long Term Follow Up study to eRADicAte, an open label study designed to examine the effects of Radium Ra 223 dichloride with concurrent administration of Abiraterone Acetate plus Prednisone Castrate-Resistant (Hormone-Refractory) Prostate Cancer subjects with symptomatic bone metastasis.
NCT03504761
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of the ClariCore System in obtaining prostate biopsies with device feedback that provides real-time tissue classification.
NCT00772317
For the treatment of locally recurrent prostate cancer following failed external beam radiation therapy (EBRT)
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
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.
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.
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.
