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.
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.
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.
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.
NCT00104130
The purpose of this trial is to study KOS-862 in men with metastatic prostate cancer who have failed a docetaxel-containing regimen.
NCT00245895
The purpose of this study is to see if darbepoetin alfa is an effective treatment for anemia in prostate cancer patients and, if so, what dose is most effective. Sometimes prostate cancer patients have low red blood cell counts (low hemoglobin) from various treatments they are receiving, such as chemotherapy. The red blood cells deliver oxygen to the tissue. This then helps give the patient more energy.
NCT00100243
This is a Phase 2, open-label study in subjects with androgen-independent prostate cancer who have progressed following treatment with an LHRH agonist. Up to 22 subjects will be enrolled. Enrollment will be monitored to ensure that not all subjects are enrolled based on rising prostate specific antigen (PSA) criterion only. Subjects will be treated with abarelix (Plenaxis) 100 mg intramuscularly (IM) every 2 weeks for 12 weeks (total dose of 600 mg).
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.
NCT00273338
The primary objective of this study is: * To evaluate the effect of DN-101 in combination with docetaxel (ASCENT regimen) on survival in metastatic androgen-independent prostate cancer The secondary objectives of this study are: * To determine the effect of the ASCENT regimen on the rate of thromboembolic events (blood clots) * To determine the effect of the ASCENT regimen on prevention of skeletal-related events (fractures) * A Separate sub-study will be conducted at selected study sites in North America to determine the population PK of DN-101.
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.
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.
NCT00087854
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of Amonafide in men with androgen-independent prostate cancer, assigned to individualized doses of Amonafide based on acetylator phenotype information (doses adjusted on individual metabolism).
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.
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.
