NCT00003162
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. It is not yet known which radiation therapy regimen is more effective for bone metastases. PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare different radiation therapy regimens in treating patients who have bone metastases from breast or prostate cancer.
NCT00715104
This is an open label, Phase 2 trial of immunotherapy with sipuleucel-T as neoadjuvant treatment in men with localized prostate cancer.
NCT00673127
The combination of ketaconazole and hydrocortisone is commonly used for the treatment of prostate cancer. The purpose of this study is to determine if the addition of a drug called dutasteride to this approved combination will make the combination more effective in treating prostate cancer.
NCT00082134
This is a Phase II, non-randomized, open label study of ILX651 in patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer previously treated with docetaxel. Approximately 40 patients will be enrolled in this study that is expected to last 24 months. All patients will be treated with ILX651 administered IV daily for 5 consecutive days every 21 days. The primary objective of this study is to determine the PSA response rate. The secondary objectives are to determine response of measurable disease, duration of response, time to PSA progression, time to treatment failure, survival, safety and tolerability, and pharmacokinetic profile of ILX651.
NCT00918385
This is a phase II multi-center study to determine the clinical impact of using a patient-specific genomic expression signature of androgen receptor (AR) activity to determine therapy for patients with castration-resistant metastatic prostate cancer (CRPC). After patient eligibility is determined, the genomic signature will be applied to fresh frozen tissue harvested from a metastatic lesion during image-guided biopsy. After assessing for androgen receptor activity, the investigators will select patients for either continued androgen manipulation with nilutamide (high AR activity) or targeted therapy with dasatinib (low AR activity). Once patients develop a first progression on either arm, patients will receive combination therapy with dasatinib and nilutamide. The primary aim is to estimate the median progression free survival in men with CRPC treated according to tumor AR activity. The investigators hypothesize that by treating men based upon AR activity, median progression free survival (PFS) will improve from a historical median of 3.0 months to 6.0 months.
NCT00323882
Multicenter study in which patients with metastatic hormone refractory prostate cancer (HRPC), who have not had previous chemotherapy or immunotherapy treatments, received MDX-010 every 3 weeks for 4 doses (12 weeks total duration of induction). MDX-010 was administered at escalating dosage levels of 3, 5, and 10 mg/kg/dose infusions. At least 6 patients were to be enrolled in each dosage level. Patients who tolerated and responded to treatment or who had stable disease for 3 months or longer and who subsequently progressed during the follow up phase of the study had the option to receive additional treatment with MDX-010, up to 4 cycles. Patients were followed in the study for response up to 2 years and were followed for survival status for up to 5 years after enrollment.
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.
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.
NCT00133224
The primary objective of this study is to compare the duration of survival between patients receiving docetaxel in combination with the GVAX® vaccine for prostate cancer versus patients receiving docetaxel and prednisone treatment in patients with prostate cancer who no longer respond to hormone therapy, who have documented metastases with pain. Patients may have had up to one prior non-taxane chemotherapy treatment.
NCT00465725
Picoplatin is a new platinum-based chemotherapy drug that has been studied in a variety of cancers. Phase 1 and 2 studies have demonstrated that picoplatin may be effective in patients whose cancer returns or does not improve after treatment with chemotherapy. In these studies, picoplatin was administered intravenously. A capsule containing picoplatin has been formulated. This study will investigate the activity of the oral capsule in humans. Participants with advanced solid tumors will be enrolled.
NCT00385580
The purpose of this study is to learn if men with metastatic prostate cancer and rising Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA), who have been surgically castrated or are undergoing androgen deprivation with Luteinizing Hormone Releasing Hormone (LHRH) treatment, respond to dasatinib. The safety of this treatment will also be studied.
NCT00924469
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of abiraterone acetate plus leuprolide acetate and prednisone, versus leuprolide acetate alone in male participants with prostate cancer (a disease in which cells in the prostate gland become abnormal and start to grow uncontrollably, forming tumors) who are suitable candidates for prostatectomy (surgery to remove all or part of the prostate gland).
NCT00295750
The study was a three-arm, active-control, multi-centre, parallel group study.
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.
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.
NCT00201916
To improve the management of patients with early stage prostate cancer.
NCT00327340
This study is for patients with cancer of the prostate gland that has metastasized or spread outside the prostate to other parts of the body. Patients have already been treated with a drug called docetaxel or Taxotere® (with or without the addition of a steroid called prednisone) some time in the recent past. They either did not respond to this therapy or responded to this therapy, but now the cancer is progressing (growing larger or has spread to other areas of the body). Custirsen (OGX-011) is an experimental drug that has been shown to increase the effectiveness of chemotherapy in several kinds of tumors, including prostate cancer. Both docetaxel and mitoxantrone have anticancer activity in prostate and are approved by Health Canada and the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of patients with prostate cancer.
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.
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.
