Filter by:STAMPEDE2 is a clinical trial comparing three new treatments with standard of care in people with prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body and is responsive to hormone therapy. People from all backgrounds and ethnicities are encouraged to take part and multiple hospitals across the UK are involved. University College London is running the trial. Each comparison within the trial has its own control arm where people get the best standard of care (Arm A) versus a research arm where a new treatment is added to standard of care. Participants are allocated to an arm by a computerised system with a 50% chance of getting the research treatment. Comparison S: Arm A versus Arm S (Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiotherapy (SABR)) - Tests whether giving targeted doses of radiotherapy (SABR) to parts of the body where the cancer has spread slows the spread of the cancer and improves survival. 2476 people will be in this comparison. Comparison P: Arm A versus Arm P (PSMA-Lutetium (177Lu-PSMA-617)) - Tests whether giving a radioactive material (177Lu-PSMA-617) that targets prostate cancer cells slows the spread of the cancer and improves survival. 1756 people will be in this comparison. Comparison N: Arm A(N) versus Arm N (Niraparib-Abiraterone Acetate+Prednisolone (Nira-AA+P)) - Tests whether giving a new drug (Nira-AA+P) slows the spread of the cancer and improves survival. Only people with certain genetic changes in their tumour sample can take part in Comparison N. 682 people will be in this comparison. Participants may be able to take part in more than one comparison. All participants will be followed up with scans and tests to monitor their cancer. Doctors will check for any side effects from the treatments. Treatments will be stopped if side effects are serious, or people no longer wish to take the treatments.
This prospective study aims to collect data and blood biomarkers from patients undergoing Lu-PSMA therapy at the Erasmus MC. In doing so, it will provide real-world efficacy and safety data on the drug, gather dosimetry data and explore putative biomarkers to identify patients who most benefit from Lu-PSMA treatment.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of 2 cycles of combinatory adebrelimab and stereotactic radiotherapy, followed by monotherapy adebrelimab in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Dr. Yao Zhu from Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center is the co-leading PI of this study.
Positron emission tomography (PET), an advanced diagnostic imaging technique, exploits the annihilation of positrons (e+) to delineate pathological alterations within diseased tissues. Integral to PET scanners are detector systems that transform gamma photons into fluorescent photons, thereby gleaning insights into the energy, time, and spatial distribution of gamma photons emanating from positron-emitting radiopharmaceuticals. Conventional PET scanners, bear a significant financial burden primarily due to their reliance on LSO (lutetium oxyorthosilicate) or LYSO (lutetium yttrium oxyorthosilicate) scintillation crystals. The exorbitant cost and limited availability of these crystal scintillators impede the widespread adoption of PET scanners. In a departure from conventional PET technology, the prototype J-PET scanner employed in this trial employs plastic scintillators, characterized by unique physical properties. This prototype is further equipped with bespoke software enabling three-photon imaging based on the annihilation of ortho-positronium (o-Ps) generated within diseased tissue. This study delves into the clinical applicability of PET scanners employing plastic scintillators, particularly investigating the feasibility of PET imaging using plastic scintillators where gamma quanta interact by mechanisms other than the photoelectric effect. Furthermore, this study endeavors to contemporaneously acquire and analyze data related to the lifetime of ortho-positronium (o-P) atoms emanating from routine radiopharmaceuticals. Additionally, it seeks to validate the utilization of a novel diagnostic indicator, termed the "positron biomarker," through a prospective study, comparing its efficacy to conventional diagnostic PET scanning methodologies.
By doing this study, doctors hope to learn more about factors that contribute to frailty (a condition where older adults feel weak, get tired easily, and struggle more with everyday activities) and serious side effects among men over the age of 65 who will receive androgen deprivation therapy (also called "hormone therapy") for prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of their body. Participation in this research will last about 5 years. For the first year, participants will have 5 study visits where they have give blood samples, answer survey questions, and use a wearable device. After study visits are complete, there is a 4-year follow-up period. Research team will check regular doctor visits and look at participants' medical records.
The overall goal of the study is to improve equitable delivery of pre-Tumor genetic testing (TGT) counseling tool for Black or African American men with metastatic prostate cancer and evaluating the tool for implementation.
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how exercise intervention affects circulating tumor cells (CTC) in men with advanced prostate cancer. The primary objective is to determine if an exercise intervention decreases CTCs in men with advanced prostate cancer. Participants will have baseline screening assessments, followed by 12 weeks of exercise intervention, and then follow-up assessments 12 weeks after the end of the exercise intervention.
This study will follow men with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer throughout their standard of care treatment for their disease to determine if the presence of different genes or proteins can predict which patients respond to the cancer treatment they receive. As tumors grow and begin to spread, they may release cells into patients' bloodstream. These cells are called "circulating tumor cells", or CTCs. CTCs can be used to look for differences in "biomarkers" (genes or proteins that may change based on how a person is or is not responding to treatment). The purpose of this research study is to learn whether scientists can use biomarkers from CTCs to predict which tumors will respond to certain hormonal therapies. Participants will have blood collected and provide an archival sample from a previous tumor biopsy. The researchers will compare biomarkers from participants who responded well to treatment to those who responded poorly in order to answer the research question.
This is a phase 3, randomized, open-label study of MK-5684 compared to alternative abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide in participants with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) with respect to overall survival (OS) and to radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) per Prostate Cancer Working Group (PCWG) Modified Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors (RECIST 1.1) as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) in participants with mCRPC previously treated with next-generation hormonal agent (NHA) and taxane-based chemotherapy. It is hypothesized that MK-5684 is superior with respect to OS and rPFS per PCWG Modified RECIST 1.1 as assessed by BICR in androgen receptor ligand binding domain (AR LBD) mutation-negative and -positive participants.
Researchers leading this study hope to learn about the safety of combining the study drug relugolix with another study drug called itraconazole or ritonavir in prostate cancer. This study is for individuals who have advanced prostate cancer and plans to have medical castration (the use of medications or chemicals to lower hormone production in the testicles). Your participation in this research will last up to 1 month. The purpose of this research is to gather information on the safety and effectiveness of relugolix in combination with ritonavir or itraconazole. The goal of this research is to find out if combining two medications (relugolix and itraconazole or relugolix and ritonavir) could possibly lead to using less relugolix, which is an expensive drug.
