NCT03181867
Background: Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in American men. When prostate cancer is confined to the prostate there is a high chance of cure. However, it is outside the prostate or comes back after treatment, additional therapy may be needed. Current methods of imaging prostate cancer are limited. Researchers want to see if a radiotracer called 18F-DCFPyL can identify prostate cancer in patients who have a high risk of cancer spreading outside the prostate or who have signs of recurrent cancer after treatment. Objectives: To see if the radiotracer 18F-DCFyL can help identify prostate cancer in the body before or after therapy. Eligibility: Men ages 18 and older who have prostate cancer that has been newly diagnosed, or has relapsed after radiation or surgery Design: Participants will be divided into 2 groups. * Group 1 will be men with cancer that has been newly diagnosed as high risk by their doctor who are scheduled to have prostate removal surgery or undergo biopsy before radiation therapy. * Group 2 will be men who have presumed prostate cancer relapse after prostate removal surgery or radiation therapy. Both groups will have scans taken. Participants will lie still on a table in a machine that takes pictures of their body. 18F-DCFyL will be injected by intravenous (IV) line. Participants will be contacted for follow-up after scans. Participants in Group 1 may have surgery to remove their prostate gland or a biopsy to remove some prostate tissue. This procedure will be standard of care and is not a part of this study. They will also have an extra MRI scan of their prostate. For this, a tube, called an endorectal coil, will be placed in their rectum. Other tubes may be wrapped around the inside of their pelvis. A contrast agent will be given by IV. Participants in Group 2 may also undergo an MRI of the pelvis and may have a biopsy of abnormalities found on the 18F-DCFyL scan. Participants will have data about their prostate cancer collected for up to 1 year.
NCT04633252
Background: Metastatic castration sensitive and castration resistant prostate cancer (mCSPC and mCRPC) are prostate cancers that have spread to other parts of the body. Use of the drug docetaxel with androgen deprivation therapy can improve survival for men with mCSPC. Researchers want to see if combining this treatment with other drugs can help delay the time it takes for mCSPC and mCRPC to get worse. Objective: To learn if giving docetaxel with PDS01ADC is safe and effective for men with prostate cancer. Eligibility: Men age 18 and older with mCSPC or mCRPC. Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. Their diagnosis will be confirmed. Their symptoms and how well they do their normal activities will be reviewed. They will have blood and urine tests. Their heart will be evaluated. They will have imaging scans of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. They will have bone scans with intravenous (IV) injections of Tc99 to check for tumor spread in the bones. Some screening tests will be repeated during the study. Participants may have tumor biopsies. Participants will get treatment in cycles. Each cycle will last 21 days. They will get docetaxel through IV infusion. They will get PDS01ADC as an injection under the skin. Participants with mCSPC will have up to 6 cycles. Those with mCRPC will be treated until they cannot tolerate the side effects or their disease gets worse. Participants will have a follow-up visit 30 days after treatment ends. Those with mCSPC will then have follow-up visits at the clinic every 3 months.
NCT07072728
This study is assessing the efficacy and safety of NPX-5 in psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy for the treatment of adjustment disorder due to cancer diagnosis. Who is it for? This study is for people who are aged between 18 and 80 years old and suffer from anxiety after adjusting to an acutely stressful event of their cancer diagnosis. This is called adjustment disorder. Study details Participants in this study will be randomly allocated by chance (similar to flipping a coin) to one of three groups: a 25mg NPX-5 dose group, a 10 mg NPX-5 dose group or a 1mg NPX-5 dose group. Participants will be allocated a dose that will be administered during their psilocybin-assisted psychotherapy (PAP) dosing session. The PAP dosing session will run approximately 8 hours, with NPX-5 administered at Day 14 (dosing day). At Week 10, non-responders that continue to meet the study eligibility criteria may commence an additional PAP cycle (at 25 mg NPX-5). A maximum of 2 PAP cycles may be administered. Long term follow up will comprise of a study visit at 3 months post Week 10 (of the final cycle) to assess safety and tolerability of NPX-5. It is hoped that this research will develop important scientific knowledge that could contribute to the development of a potential new treatment for anxiety and depression after adjusting to an acutely stressful event such as a cancer diagnosis.

To evaluate the clinical impact of an online video simulator during the learning period of laparoscopic radical prostatectomy.
NCT03354416
Background: Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers for men in the U.S. There are some new ways to take pictures of the cancer. There are also new ways to use image-guided biopsy and therapy. These could help manage prostate cancer. Researchers want to study how imaging can provide a profile of prostate cancer. They want to collect data to make diagnosis and treatments better. Objectives: To gather data about the radiological and clinical course of prostate cancer. To study imaging-based biomarkers of prostate cancer. Eligibility: Men ages 18 and older with diagnosed or suspected prostate cancer Design: Participants will give permission for researchers to use their medical history and records. Their data will be reviewed, collected, and analyzed. These include results of their tests and scans. Sponsoring Institution: National Cancer Institute
NCT04887935
This is a pilot study of the tolerability and safety of neoadjuvant dapagliflozin for patients with unfavorable intermediate, high-risk, or very high-risk prostatic adenocarcinoma prior to radical prostatectomy. The primary hypothesis is that four weeks of daily dapagliflozin prior to surgery is well-tolerated and safe to use in this patient population. The investigators also hypothesize that dapagliflozin will be efficacious in resulting in tumor shrinkage on pre-operative imaging and will result in tumor necrosis at prostatectomy.
NCT05600400
Prostate Stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR) is an established technique that delivers radiation in a non-invasive approach for men with prostate cancer. The treatment regimen is given in total of 5 fractions with one treatment per day at every other day or weekly sessions. Ultra-hypofractionated radiotherapy (UHRT) is an emerging monotherapy for localized prostate cancer however, several trials have observed demonstrating superior biochemical control of a two-fraction (HDR) over single-fraction approach. The study aims to compare an experimental shorter course of prostate ultra-hypofractionated radiotherapy (UHRT) that will deliver what is expected to be an equivalent amount of radiation as given in the standard 5 treatment regimen. UHRT is given in 2 treatments with one treatment a week for 2 consecutive weeks.
NCT05844761
The goal of this interventional non-inferiority trial is to assess the accuracy of different real-time motion management radiotherapy techniques. The main question the study aims to answer are: * What are the target margins for radiotherapy with motion management that are not inferior to target margin without motion management * What are the dosimetric and geometrical accuracy to patient for the motion management techniques. Participants will answer QoL questionary, and the accuracy of treatment will be assessed from treatment data.
NCT03133286
Collect blood samples and associated clinical data prior to, during, and post radiation treatment.
NCT05653063
The aim of this study is to look at whether an Artificial Intelligence (AI) based computer program can automate two components of the radiotherapy treatment pathway to a sufficient quality standard to enable its routine clinical use. The two components include the delineation (outlining) of anatomical areas that are at risk of tumour spread and at risk of radiation damage, and the definition of the position, size and shape of the radiation beams. The AI-based computer programs have been developed to perform tasks that would normally require direct human involvement by oncologists and medical physicists. Proposed advantages include improved treatment accuracy, as well as a reduction in the time (from weeks to minutes) and human resources needed to deliver radiotherapy, which this study will test.
