Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and short-term oncological efficacy of the NanoKnife Irreversible Electroporation System for localised prostate cancer. Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is the method of focal treatment for prostate cancer, which is already proven by FDA as method of the surgical ablation of soft tissue. It has not received clearance for the therapy or treatment of any specific disease or condition.
Because the diagnostic criteria for prostate cancer are different in the peripheral and the transition zone, prostate segmentation is needed for any computer-aided diagnosis system aimed at characterizing prostate lesions on magnetic resonance (MR) images. Manual segmentation is time consuming and may differ between radiologists with different expertise. We developed and trained a convolutional neural network algorithm for segmenting the whole prostate, the transition zone and the anterior fibromuscular stroma on T2-weighted images of 787 MRIs from an existing prospective radiological pathological correlation database containing prostate MRI of patients treated by prostatectomy between 2008 and 2014 (CLARA-P database). The purpose of this study is to validate this algorithm on an independent cohort of patients.
This is a phase 1 study to determine the feasibility and utility of using serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess treatment response during and after radiation therapy (standard of care cancer treatment) for participants with advanced esophageal cancer, glioblastoma, prostate cancer, vulvar cancer or pediatric glioma. The research study procedures include three MRI scans (one before, one during, and one after standard of care cancer radiation therapy) for participants with advanced esophageal cancer, glioblastoma, prostate cancer, vulvar cancer or pediatric glioma. The research study procedures include: - Screening for eligibility - Three MRI scans
A prospective, Phase 3, multi center, single-arm, imaging study investigating the safety and diagnostic performance of rhPSMA 7.3 (18F) Positron Emission Tomography (PET) ligand in men with suspected prostate cancer recurrence based on elevated Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) following prior therapy.
A prospective, Phase 3, multi center, single-arm, imaging study investigating the safety and diagnostic performance of Radio-hybrid Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen (rhPSMA) 7.3 (18F) Positron Emission Tomography (PET) ligand in men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer.
The aim is to estimate an oral administered recommended dose of BP-C2 in addition to hormone treatment of prostate cancer. The study population consists of prostatic cancer patients between 18 and 80 years of age undergoing hormonal treatment. Four patients will be recruited consecutively from each of two participating hospital. The study will be performed as an open, one-dimensional multi-center trial with a 3-level within-patient Response Surface Pathway (RSP) design.
Robotic prostatectomy (RARP) is a surgery for treatment localized prostate cancer. Bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection (BPLND) will also be performed if there is an estimated risk of occult nodal metastases exceeding 5%. BPLND in general is a well-tolerated procedure. Lymphatic leak is one of the possible complications after lymph node dissection (BPLND). Lymphocele is a collection of lymphatic fluid after operation. Hemopatch is a material used during operation that may prevent lymphorrhoea. This is a randomizedcontrolled trial that aims at investigating the application of Hemopatch to raw lymphatic tissue in preventing lymphorrhoea. Patients would be divided into 2 groups: with or without the use of Hemopatch during operation. They will be followed up on day 30 to monitor the course of recovery and any complications.
The purpose of this study is to test if the use of Degarelix for 1 year associated with a lower rate of cardiovascular toxicity compared to Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonists in patients with advanced prostate cancer and cardiovascular risk factors, receiving combination therapy of Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and second line hormonal or chemotherapy?
This is a multicenter, randomized, open label, phase III study comparing the efficacy and safety of apatulamide combined with concomitant prostate-bed salvage radiotherapy (SRT) and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) versus concomitant prostate-bed SRT and ADT in high-risk postprostatectomy biochemically relapsed prostate cancer patients.
The purpose of this study is to investigate a novel method of prostate biopsy using a computerized guidance system to accurately target lesions within the prostate. This method of prostate biopsy involves using a computerized technology that permits a lesion detected on MRI to be projected by a computer into 3 dimensions on a patient's CT scan. A CT guided biopsy can then be performed where a needle is advanced into the patient, where the computer has projected the image of the tumor that cannot normally be seen on CT. This is a randomized, cross over designed trial to compare this new method of prostate biopsy to the currently employed standard transrectal ultrasound guided prostate (TRUSP) biopsy technique.
