NCT03388619
Background: Sometimes prostate cancer comes back after a person's prostate is removed. In this case, radiation is a common treatment. Radiation kills prostate cancer cells. It can be very effective. It is usually given in short doses almost every day for 6 or 7 weeks. Researchers want to see if a shorter schedule can be as effective. They want to see if that causes the same or fewer side effects. Usually, radiation is used to treat the entire area where the prostate was before surgery. In some patients, an area of tumor can be seen on scans. Researchers are also trying to see if they can give less dose to the area usually treated with radiation if the full dose is given to the tumor seen on scans. Objective: To find the shortest radiation schedule that people can tolerate without strong side effects. Eligibility: People at least 18 years old who have had a prostatectomy and will get radiation. Design: Participants will be screened with: * Medical history * Physical exam * Blood and urine tests * Scan that uses a small amount of radiation to make a picture of the body * Scan that uses a magnetic field to make an image of the body * Participants will provide documents that confirm their diagnosis. * Participants may have a scan of the abdomen and pelvis. Before they start treatment, participants will have another physical exam and blood tests. Participants will get radiation each day Monday through Friday. Treatment may last 2, 3, or 4 weeks. Participants may provide a tissue sample from a previous procedure for research. Participants will answer questions about their general well-being and function. About 4-5 weeks after they finish radiation treatment, participants will have a follow-up visit. They will be examined and give a blood sample. They will have 6 follow-up visits for the next 2 years.
NCT00063882
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays and other sources to damage tumor cells. Interstitial brachytherapy uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells. Combining interstitial brachytherapy with external-beam radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known whether interstitial brachytherapy is more effective with or without external-beam radiation therapy in treating prostate cancer. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of interstitial brachytherapy with or without external-beam radiation therapy in treating patients who have prostate cancer.
NCT06235099
This is a prospective, open-label Phase 3 study to evaluate copper Cu 64 PSMA I\&T injection for PET/CT imaging in patients with recurrent prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy.
NCT04243473
The primary goal of this tissue collection protocol is to establish a framework for the acquisition and banking of biospecimen collected from men undergoing brachytherapy. Biopsies of the prostate is an invasive procedure; however, in this tissue collection protocol, biopsies are acquired intraoperatively while patients are prepped for brachytherapy seed placement, thus minimizing the inconvenience of the biopsy procedure for patients. The utility of these biopsies will provide a valuable resource for molecular assessments.
NCT05683691
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Vanquish Water Vapor Ablation Device ("Vanquish") in treating subjects with Gleason Grade Group 2 (GGG2) localized intermediate-risk prostate cancer.
NCT05125016
This study is researching an investigational drug called REGN4336. Some participants may receive additional investigational drugs in combination with REGN4336. These additional drugs include REGN5678, cemiplimab and sarilumab. The main purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability (how the body reacts to the drug) and effectiveness of REGN4336 alone, in combination with cemiplimab, or in combination with REGN5678. REGN4336, cemiplimab and REGN5678 are a type of treatment for cancer called immunotherapy,and are intended to activate T-cells to attack cancer cells. This study has 2 parts. The purpose of Part 1 is to determine a safe dose of REGN4336 when given alone or when given in combination with cemiplimab or REGN5678. The purpose of Part 2 is to use the REGN4336 dose(s) determined in Part 1 to further test how well REGN4336 works to shrink tumors either when given alone or in combination with cemiplimab or REGN5678. This study is looking at several other research questions, including: * What side effects may happen from taking REGN4336 alone, in combination with cemiplimab, or in combination with REGN5678? * How much REGN4336 is in the blood at different times when it is given alone, in combination with cemiplimab, or in combination with REGN5678? * Does the body make antibodies against the study drugs (REGN4336, cemiplimab, or REGN5678)?
NCT01314118
The purpose of this study is to show that abiraterone acetate plus prednisone added to the current standard of care, gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) decreases prostate specific antigen (PSA) and prolongs the time until it is evident that the cancer has grown. Additionally, safety information about abiraterone acetate in combination with prednisone will be collected. This will include looking at what side effects occur, how often they occur, and for how long they last.
NCT02871726
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common non-dermatologic malignancy in U.S. men. Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy is a commonly used diagnostic procedure for men with an elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level and/or abnormal digital rectal examination (DRE). It is estimated that more than 1 million TRUS-guided prostate biopsies are performed annually in the U.S. alone. However, a freehand TRUS-guided systematic biopsy (SB) procedure has significant limitations. First, freehand biopsy cores are often spatially clustered, rather than uniformly distributed, and do not accurately follow the recommended, sextant template. Second, a freehand TRUS-guided biopsy does not allow precise mapping of the biopsy cores within the prostate. Targeted biopsy (TB) using special devices emerged to help the physicians guide the biopsy using multiparametric MRI (mpMRI). TB cores yield a higher cancer detection rate of clinically significance PCa than SB cores, but TB cores also miss a large number of clinically significant PCa that are detected by SB. Accordingly, TB is commonly performed concurrently with SB (TB+SB procedure).
NCT06616597
To determine if dexamethasone or dexamethasone plus metronidazole restore sensitivity to abiraterone for the treatment of metastatic prostate cancer.
NCT03317392
This phase I/II trial studies the best dose and side effects of olaparib and how well it works with radium Ra 223 dichloride in treating patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer that has spread to the bone and other places in the body (metastatic). PARPs are proteins that help repair DNA mutations. PARP inhibitors, such as olaparib, can keep PARP from working, so tumor cells can't repair themselves, and they may stop growing. Radioactive drugs, such as radium Ra 223 dichloride, may carry radiation directly to tumor cells and not harm normal cells. Giving olaparib and radium Ra 223 dichloride may help treat patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer.
NCT04489719
This study investigates how well radium-223 works in treating patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer than has spread to the bones (bone metastases). Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and the second leading cause of cancer death. Furthermore, many men with notably advanced disease have been found to have abnormalities in DNA repair. The purpose of this research is to study the role of a DNA repair pathway in prostate cancer, specifically in response to administration of radium-223, an FDA-approved drug known to cause DNA damage to cancerous cells. Understanding how defects in the DNA repair pathway affects radium-223 treatment of prostate, may help doctors help plan effective treatment in future patients.
