NCT00048659
The purpose of this study is to determine if patients who take YM598 in addition to mitoxantrone and prednisone (standard therapy) experience improvement in the pain associated with prostate cancer metastases in the bone.
NCT00657904
The purpose of this trial is to study the effect - in terms of time to progression and overall survival - of 2 years of adjuvant bicalutamide 150mg monotherapy, versus placebo, in subjects with histologically or cytologically confirmed non-metastatic adenocarcinoma of the prostate gland.
NCT00087659
This study is being conducted to compare the effect of an investigational drug versus placebo on bone loss in men with prostate cancer who are receiving Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT). The study drug or placebo will be administered every three months of four treatments in one year. In order to participate, male patients 18 years and older must be consecutive veterans from participating Veterans Administration Medical Centers.
NCT00201916
To improve the management of patients with early stage prostate cancer.
NCT00442000
Compare peri-operative and postoperative outcomes of the three different surgical approaches to prostatectomy
NCT00441532
Patients at risk for having prostate cancer usually undergo a biopsy of their prostate. This is most often done in the private urology office. Recent studies have suggested that injection of local anesthesia (lidocaine) near the nerves of the prostate will improve pain sensation during the biopsy procedure. Local anesthesia can be given through a separate needle through the rectal probe just prior to biopsy. However, many urologists to date perform their biopsies without anesthesia. Some claim that the needle used for anesthesia causes pain itself. Others claim that the pain is so minimal that the additional use of lidocaine (and extra time) is not necessary. We plan to reexamine the use of lidocaine and perform the first study where each patient will receive lidocaine and placebo on separate sides of their prostate.
NCT00043576
The purposes of this study are to determine if DN-101 plus Taxotere lowers PSA levels, delays or limits disease progression and is safe with minimal side effects.
NCT00111618
The purpose of this trial is to confirm a safe dose of AS1404, to be given with docetaxel, and to see whether adding AS1404 and docetaxel together improves the outcome of the treatment, when compared to docetaxel alone.
NCT00550810
The major goal is to determine whether the experimental agent has clinically promising activity that would merit progression to a formal phase III trial. Patients with hormone refractory prostate cancer after docetaxel chemotherapy have limited treatment options and no systemic treatment has been proven to be effective. Because of its action, safety and simple administration SU011248 has potential for effectiveness in this disease setting. Promising activity in this study would provide the necessary proof-of-principle for a larger confirmatory study in this population, and potentially in earlier stages of this common disease.
NCT00407251
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of patupilone chemotherapy and to find out what effects (good and bad) the drug Patupilone has on patients with prostate cancer that has progressed following hormone treatment and docetaxel chemotherapy.
NCT00450970
The SPERA trial is designed to 1. provide satraplatin to physicians with patients who have hormone refractory prostate cancer (HRPC) which has progressed following unlimited cytotoxic chemotherapy regimens for metastatic disease and 2. to evaluate the safety of oral satraplatin in this patient population.
NCT00833248
The purpose of this phase 3B trial was to see how well a new trial drug (degarelix) works in terms of reducing the size of the prostate volume in prostate cancer patients who were scheduled to undergo subsequent radiotherapy for treatment of their prostate cancer. Prior to receiving radiotherapy, it is recommended that patients with intermediate to high risk prostate cancer are pre-treated with hormone therapy (so-called neoadjuvant therapy) which is known to reduce the size of the prostate and thereby decrease the required radiation field and enable a more safe and effective treatment. In this trial, participants were randomly selected (like flipping a coin) to receive either degarelix given alone or a standard hormone therapy (combination of goserelin and bicalutamide. The treatment was given for three months and the prostate size was measured by ultra sound at the beginning and at the end of the trial. The participants were required to come to the clinic for 5 or 6 visits during the three months.
NCT00116753
The rationale of the study was to evaluate different degarelix dosing regimens for a three-month interval that was to produce and maintain castration in prostate cancer patients through immediate and prolonged testosterone suppression, and to provide confirmatory evidence of the safety of degarelix.
NCT00286793
This is an open-label, multicenter Phase I/II study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of AT-101 in combination with docetaxel and prednisone in men with hormone-refractory prostate cancer that are either chemotherapy naive or have received and progressed on a docetaxel containing regimen,
NCT00468286
The study will have two treatment groups, evaluating two Degarelix doses. First dose is the initial dose followed by a maintenance dose given every three months. The initial dose given to suppress the testosterone level and the three month maintenance dose to maintain the suppressed testosterone level over one year of treatment.
NCT00326586
This is a Phase I Dose-Escalation Study of BMS641988 in Patients with Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer.
NCT00636740
The objective of MER-101-03 is to examine the effects of two different dosing regimens of MER-101 20mg tablets versus Zometa 4mg IV infusion once-monthly therapy. The effects will be monitored on a weekly basis by measuring various markers of bone metabolism. Patients to be enrolled will be those who have not received any previous bisphosphonate therapy. The study will be carried out on prostate cancer patients who are no longer on hormone therapy. Treatment in the study will be for a 2-month period.
NCT00419536
This 2-arm study is designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose of LBH589 as a single agent and in combination with docetaxel and prednisone 5 mg twice daily (second arm) and to characterize the safety, tolerability, biologic activity and pharmacokinetic profile.
NCT00134706
The purpose of this study is to look at the effects (good and bad) of the combination of docetaxel and carboplatin for patients who have progressive prostate cancer after chemotherapy with drugs such as docetaxel. The investigators are also studying whether the measurement of two proteins in the blood may predict who will respond to the combination of docetaxel and carboplatin.
NCT00673205
The purpose of this trial is to study the effect of adjuvant or immediate hormonal therapy, versus placebo, in subjects who have either undergone a primary therapy (principally radical prostatectomy or radiotherapy) or who were otherwise to be managed by watchful waiting.
