NCT ID: NCT06130995 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Androgen Deprivation Therapy

Relugolix + Enzalutamide Study in High-Risk Prostate Cancer

Start date: August 2024
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial is to test how effective and safe it is to use a combination of two medications, relugolix and enzalutamide, in patients with advanced prostate cancer. We want to see if this combination can help improve the chances of curing the cancer and make the patients live longer without the cancer getting worse. The main questions we want to answer in this study are: - Can using relugolix and enzalutamide together help increase the chances of curing high-risk advanced prostate cancer? - Does this combination treatment help patients live longer without their cancer getting worse? Participants in this study will be asked to take relugolix and enzalutamide as part of their cancer treatment. They will also undergo Radiation Therapy or prostatectomy, which are standard treatments for this type of cancer.

Short Versus Long-term Androgen Deprivation Therapy With Salvage Radiotherapy in Prostate Cancer. URONCOR 0624

URONCOR 06-24
Start date: March 14, 2023
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The optimal indication for ADT has long been a point of controversy, at least until the results of randomised trials comparing RT with and without ADT were published. NCCN guidelines and most retrospective series and left the decision to prescribe ADT in combination with RT to the discretion of the treating physician, despite a lack of clear scientific evidence to support this recommendation. The percentage of patients in those retrospective series who received hormone therapy ranged from 33% to 71%, but generally involved patients with adverse prognostic factors (Gleason score > 7, stage pT3-T4, PSA > 1 ng/mL in cases with biochemical recurrence [BCR], and PSA doubling time [PSA-DT] < 6 months). Despite the heterogeneity in those studies in terms of treatment duration, RT dose, and treatment volumes, most of the studies found that ADT significantly prolonged biochemical relapse-free survival (BRFS), especially in patients with PSA levels > 1 ng/mL at recurrence. The results of two randomised trials evaluating SRT with or without ADT were published in 2017, with both trials demonstrating a benefit for ADT in this clinical setting. A follow-up study confirmed the value of ADT in combination with SRT in terms of better PFS and, in the RTOG study, an improvement in overall survival (OS). Despite the lack of data from phase III trials regarding the influence of PSA-DT, the BRFS interval, and the Gleason score in terms of their effects on the clinical course of patients who develop BCR, there is strong evidence from other studies to support the use of these variables (together with age and comorbidities). Given the available evidence, we believe that these variables should be considered when determining the indications for ADT. In line with the philosophy underlying the approach used by D'Amico to develop a risk classification system for prostate cancer patients at diagnosis, we propose three risk groups. According to Pollack et al. and Spratt et al., low-risk patients would not benefit from hormone therapy, especially long-term ADT, due to the deleterious effects of such treatment. By contrast, intermediate and high risk patients would be candidates for ADT combined with RT. However, the optimal duration of ADT in these patients (6 months vs. 2 years) remains undefined and needs to be determined prospectively in a randomised trial, similar to the approach used in the DART 05.01 trial. SRT and ADT are widely used in routine clinical practice to treat patients who develop BCR after prostatectomy. In this context, we intend to perform a multicentre, phase III trial to define the optimal duration of ADT (6 vs. 24 months).

NCT ID: NCT05700903 Recruiting - Hypertension Clinical Trials

Contributions to Hypertension With Androgen Deprivation Therapy

ARCH
Start date: September 20, 2023
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

This study plans to learn more about contributors to high blood pressure in men who undergo androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) to treat prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in men, affecting approximately 1 in 8 American men and its primary treatment is through the use of ADT. However, ADT increases the likelihood of developing heart disease including high blood pressure. This study will determine if dysfunction of the nervous system and/or kidneys occurs in men undergoing ADT, as these systems play a significant role in control of blood pressure. The results from this study will help us understand the ways in which ADT contributes to heart disease and help us develop therapies to prevent heart disease in prostate cancer survivors.

NCT ID: NCT05327465 Recruiting - Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials

Exercise to Enhance Cardiovascular Health Among Black Prostate Cancer Patients With Androgen Deprivation Therapy

Start date: August 11, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this research is to determine whether a 16-week culturally tailored, technology-based, aerobic and resistance exercise intervention improves cardiovascular risk factors in Black men diagnosed with prostate cancer and are undergoing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), and whether it will also improve physical fitness and function, body composition, and outcomes such as quality of life, cancer symptoms, and self-esteem. Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to one of two groups: 1) Aerobic and resistance exercise, or 2) Usual care.

Feasibility and Safety of Physical Exercise in Men With Prostate Cancer

PCa_Ex
Start date: April 14, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Prostate cancer (PCa) is among the most widespread in the male population and represents 19% of all cancers diagnosed from the age of fifty, in Italy. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and Radiotherapy (RT) are used for increase survival. However, both therapies are associated with significant side effects, such as fatigue, loss of muscle mass and strength, cognitive decline that together lead to an increase risk of accidental falls and fractures. Guidelines for cancer survivors recommend Physical Exercise (PE) as a strategy to reduce several side effects of therapies. However, most people living with cancer do not meet current exercise recommendations. Indeed, an effective PE program requires the application of long-term, moderate to high intensity activity. Thus it may be difficult to implement this type of recommendation in patient with PCa. Therefore, this study aims to develop an experimental PE intervention testing their feasibility and safety and the patients' satisfaction, aimed at improving the health conditions of the patients with PCa receiving ADT and RT. Furthermore, long-term falls and fracture events will be monitored.

Walking Football as a Supportive Medicine for Patients With Prostate Cancer

Start date: July 11, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is widely used in men with prostate cancer (PCa) to delay disease progression and enhance survival. The use of ADT is often associated with a vast spectrum of side effects that considerably reduce quality of life. Exercise has been proposed as a non-pharmacological strategy to counter some adverse effects of ADT among patients with PCa. Particularly, recreational football-based interventions have been suggested as an enjoyment approach to involve patients with PCa in regular exercise practice. Given its intermittent nature and vigorous efforts, adverse events associated with recreational football practice have been reported. To handle this issue and to involve patients with PCa in recreational football practice, walking football has emerged as a more suitable exercise modality

NCT ID: NCT03867357 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Metastatic Prostate Cancer

Intramuscular Mechanisms of Androgen Deprivation-related Sarcopenia

Start date: December 7, 2018
Phase:
Study type: Observational

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common cancer among men and is even more common in the military and veteran population. For patients with advanced prostate cancer, the most common treatment includes lowering the levels of the hormone testosterone as much as possible. This is called "androgen deprivation therapy" or "ADT". Unfortunately, ADT also causes patients to be fatigued, weak and to loose muscle. This is often referred to as "sarcopenia" and it leads to falls, poor quality of life and higher risk of death. Currently, there is no treatment for sarcopenia because the investigators do not understand the mechanisms that cause it. The mitochondria is the part of the cells responsible for providing energy to muscles but to this date the investigators do not know if it is affected in prostate cancer patients with sarcopenia due to ADT. The overall goal of this proposal is to establish if the mitochondria is responsible for sarcopenia in patients with prostate cancer receiving ADT. The investigators will measure mitochondrial function, muscle mass and strength, and feelings of fatigue and quality of life in patients with prostate cancer before starting and after 6 months of ADT.

NCT ID: NCT03845751 Recruiting - Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials

EvaluatioN of HIFU Hemiablation and Short Term AndrogeN Deprivation Therapy Combination to Enhance Prostate Cancer Control.

ENHANCE
Start date: January 2023
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The current study aims to examine the hypothesis that combining the focal effects of HIFU with the systemic effects of androgen deprivation therapy might eradicate the prostatic cancer cells by targeting the 'visible' index focus (by HIFU) and the tumour surrounding microenvironment which may contain 'invisible' foci and aberrant PCa related signalling (by androgen deprivation therapy) to enhance oncological outcomes of HIFU hemi-ablation in men with localized PCa, and consequently reducing treatment failures.

NCT ID: NCT03672396 Completed - Clinical trials for Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer

Home-based Exercise Intervention for Patients With Metastatic Prostate Cancer

Start date: April 1, 2017
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This single arm, multi-site pilot study aims to evaluate the feasibility of recruiting and adherence to a 12 week home-based exercise intervention to be conducted in men with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) receiving androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Thirty patients will be enrolled, with the expectation that 20-25 will complete all follow-up measures.

NCT ID: NCT03440879 Terminated - Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials

Androgen Deprivation Therapy Muscle Protein Metabolism and Blood Glucose

Start date: September 21, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Prostate cancer (PCa) patients receiving androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) (e.g., Zoladex), experience troublesome side effects during and after treatment (e.g., loss of lean body mass (LBM) and increased fat mass). Although the negative effects of ADT on muscle mass are well documented, the cellular effects of ADT on muscle tissue are still largely unknown, and studies investigating the mechanisms are highly warranted. Furthermore, understanding the cellular mechanisms through which ADT negatively influences muscle mass and glucose metabolism is important so that appropriate measures can be taken to counteract muscle wasting and comorbidities during ADT. Thus, PCa patients on ADT (Zoladex), along with non-ADT treated PCa patients serving as controls, will be invited to participate in this study, that aims to investigate the influence of ADT on the basal muscle protein turnover, as well as the responses to strength training. Secondary aims are to investigate between-group differences in blood glucose and insulin responses following a meal).
