Filter by:This study is to evaluate diagnostic performance, safety and timing of post-dose imaging of ONM-100, an intraoperative fluorescence imaging agent for the detection of cancer in patients with solid tumors undergoing routine surgery.
The initial staging of locally advanced prostate cancer is made with Computed Tomography scan (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and bone scan (BS). For this type of cancer, reference treatment is radiotherapy combined with hormone therapy. The added value of MRI in the delineation of volumes for radiotherapy is known, especially for the definition of extra-prostatic extensions and prostatic apex. However, its regular use is difficult. Indeed, acquisition of Magnetic Resonance Imaging parameters for diagnostic are not adapted to be fused with the planning Computed Tomography. The literature shows that Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography with Fluorocholine is better in terms of diagnostic performance compared to bone scan for bone metastases and to pelvic Magnetic Resonance Imaging for nodal extension. It would therefore improve staging for these patients with a high risk of locoregional and metastatic invasion even if its use is currently not recommended in the initial staging. Thanks to Magnetic Resonance Imaging acquisition parameters adapted to Radiotherapy and additional functional information, an acquisition in tri-modality Positron Emission Tomography/computed Tomography/ Magnetic Resonance Imaging could have an impact on the volumes definition for radiotherapy or even on the therapeutic strategy. The aim of the study is to evaluate the volume modifications obtained on the trimodality evaluation, compared to the standard initial staging (geometric comparison). In addition, it would be a preliminary study for a project using Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) in trimodality, and / or for a therapeutic interventional study.
This is an open-labeled, single-arm, interventional pilot study. It is being done to determine the feasibility of the administration of transdermal testosterone alternating with enzalutamide, as well as the safety and efficacy.
The overall objective of this study is to acquire ultrasound images, spectral data and prostate tissue biopsy cores using the ClariCore System via a transperineal approach.
Current standard prostate biopsy techniques, used to definitively diagnose prostate cancer (PC), utilises an ultrasound guided biopsy approach, that offers unsatisfactory specificity and sensitivity for clinical significant PC. This often leads to harmful unnecessary biopsies. To improve the overall detection of clinical significant PC, multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) has emerged as a new technique that might be useful in selecting the appropriate patient for biopsy. Nevertheless, mpMRI fail to detect cancer in some circumstances and the exact role of mpMRI is undetermined. Currently, the majority of PC is diagnosed either incidentally or by unsystematic screening with prostate specific antigen (PSA). PSA suffers from being an organ specific, but cancer unspecific serum biomarker. PSA testing may neither rule out or confirm the presence of prostate cancer. Newer biomarkers have shown promise in curbing some of this sensitivity and specificity gap, but still needs refinement. In the present study, the investigators will use mpMRI and a new set of urine and plasma biomarkers in combination, prior to performing standard biopsies in order to develop a prediction model for the biopsy outcome. If proven successful the model would offer excellent risk stratification and possibly mitigating the need for biopsies.
Black men are disproportionately affected by prostate cancer, the most common non-cutaneous malignancy among men in the U.S. This randomized trial will evaluate the efficacy of a Community Health Worker-led decision coaching program to facilitate Shared Decision Making (SDM) and Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) screening among Black men with regards to decision quality, the decision making process, patient-provider communication and PSA utilization for Black men in the primary care setting.
This study will investigate the safety and efficacy of IMMU-132 in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer progressing on abiraterone or enzalutamide.
To characterize preliminary targeting properties of [68Ga]-NeoBOMB1 in patients with malignancies known to overexpress GRPR.
The purpose of this phase II trial is to determine the efficacy and safety of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) in improving the symptoms of androgen deficiency and health-related quality of life in men with prostate cancer who have undergone radical prostatectomy.
This study will examine the utility of chitosan for reduction of blood or tissue levels of AGEs in patients with prostate cancer who are clinically stable on androgen-deprivation therapy.
