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.
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.
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).
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.
NCT00283829
The purpose of this study is to test if interleukin-2, a drug that stimulates the immune system, can be used after chemotherapy to slow the progression of your disease. We also want to test what the best dose of interleukin-2 is that can be used safely at home. Interleukin-2, abbreviated as IL2, is a naturally produced growth hormone for the immune cells in our body. It stimulates the growth of the immune cells and enhances their ability to fight infections and cancers. In people with cancer, the immune cells are typically suppressed and became even more so after irradiation and chemotherapy treatment. By giving you more IL2 we hope to enhance the immune system so that it can fight the cancer better, control cancer growth and shrink the cancer.
NCT00486499
hypothesis: the shorter half-life of Pd-103 versus I-125, will increase the rate of tumor eradication. A total of 660 patients with AJC clinical stage T1c-T2a prostatic carcinoma (Gleason grade 7 to 9 and/or PSA 10-20 ng/ml) will be randomized to implantation with I-125 (144 Gy) versus Pd-103 (124 Gy).
NCT00340717
This study will determine whether certain gene alterations can serve as markers for early detection of prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is often diagnosed by detecting high levels of a protein called prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in the blood. Other conditions can also cause elevated PSA levels, however, so that additional tests are needed to distinguish between benign and cancerous prostate conditions. Patients between 40 and 75 years of age who are referred to Howard University Hospital in Washington, D.C., or Madigan Army Medical Center in Tacoma, Washington, for ultrasound and needle biopsy to diagnose prostate cancer may be eligible for this study. Participants will undergo the following procedures at the time of the biopsy visit: * Blood collection: Patients have 10 milliliters (2 teaspoons) of blood drawn. * Prostate massage: Patients have a rectal examination and prostate massage. For the latter procedure, the physician lightly massages the prostate gland for about 15 seconds. After the massage, the patient provides a urine specimen. * Biopsy: A small sample of tumor tissue is removed surgically for examination under the microscope. Patients whose initial biopsy does not show cancer cells, but who are advised to have a repeat biopsy in the future will give a blood, urine, and biopsy specimen at the time of the next biopsy. Patients who are diagnosed with prostate cancer and undergo surgery to remove the tumor will have a small sample of tumor tissue set aside for this study to look for substances that may help predict prostate cancer.
NCT00285675
The purpose of this study is to monitor the safety of continued DN-101 and docetaxel treatment for subjects previously enrolled in DN101-002 (ASCENT) or DN101-004 (NSCLC) Studies.
