Filter by:The purpose of the proposed research is to test and validate a Risk Map decision-support system (DSS) for prostate cancer Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) interpretation and identification of clinically significant tumor site(s).
Investigators seek a new therapeutic strategy for castrated resistant prostate cancer(CRPC) patients with PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling pathway deficiency by next generation sequencing(NGS).
THERMOEDEME is a comparative, controlled, randomized, multicenter and simple blinded (investigator) trial. The aim of this study is to evaluate effects of spa therapy in phlebology with a therapeutic education program in daily life of patients suffering lymphoedema.
This study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of a prostate cancer vaccine named Proscavax (Prostate-specific antigen(PSA) / Interleukin-2(IL-2) / Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor(GM-CSF)) in patients with localized prostate cancer. The goal of the study is to determine if vaccine administration results in a change in the rate of prostate cancer progression when compared to a no-treatment control group of active surveillance patients. The researchers are interested in evaluating the proportion of participants with prostate cancer progression at 2 years following administration of Proscavax or active surveillance, the effect of the vaccine on prostate-specific antigen (PSA) doubling time and the assessment of adverse events in these patients. Eligible patients in this study will include men who are 18 years and older and who have a previously untreated early stage prostate cancer regardless of the date of diagnosis.
The purpose of this study is to compare any good and bad effects of using radium-223 along with docetaxel chemotherapy treatment versus using docetaxel alone. Earlier studies helped show that the combination is safe, but the combination has not been proven to work better than either drug alone. The goal of this study is to find out if combining docetaxel and radium-223 is better than giving either drug by itself.
A diet consisting of a reduced quantity of the essential amino acid methionine sensitizes cancer cells to radiation therapy and reduces metastasis formation and disease progression in mice. However, to date, dietary restriction of methionine has not been tested in combination with radiation therapy in humans as a strategy to improve patient outcomes.
Prostate cancer is the most frequently occurring male cancer in Belgium. Patients who have been treated for prostate cancer, i.e. by surgery and/or radiotherapy, in a substantial degree suffer from a tumor recurrence, often diagnosed by an increase in serum tumor marker Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) within the first few years. In these patients with evidence of a tumor recurrence after primary treatment, it is important to most exactly define the location(s) of tumor, to guide appropriate therapy by surgery, radiotherapy and/or hormonotherapy. In so-called oligo-metastatic disease targeted therapy may still be curative and prevent the disease from spreading to distant locations. Therefore it is of paramount importance to have an accurate tool of medical imaging to localize all possible locations to be treated.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in France (54,000 cases in 2011). About 20,000 radical prostatectomies (PR) per year are performed. Despite the progress of PR over the past 20 years, the rate of erectile dysfunction post PR varies between 30 and 90% and only 16% of operated men recover their pre-treatment erections. There is currently no validated post-prostatectomy rehabilitation protocol. The associations of patients, including the National Association of Prostate Cancer Patients have a very strong demand for treatment of sexual problems after treatment.
This is a phase 1/phase 2a study of the combination of immune checkpoint inhibitor (nivolumab) in combination with the PARP inhibitor (rucaparib) for patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and metastatic/recurrent endometrial cancer. In the phase 1 portion, the safety of the combination dosing will be determined. If the combination dosing is determined to be safe and feasible, the study will move onto phase 2a. In the phase 2a portion, participants will be randomized to receive either: rucaparib alone, nivolumab alone, or combination therapy (rucaparib and nivolumab).
This is a prospective, open-label, randomized, cross-over, pilot study of reprogramming therapy in patients with recurrent PCa based on rising PSA only. The primary objectives are to compare the disease progression-free rate at the end of 12 weeks of treatment between 5-AZA+ATRA and no therapy and to assess safety of the 5-AZA and ATRA combination. All study enrollees will receive Lupron. After one month, they will be assigned in a 1:1 randomization to either the '5-AZA+ATRA' group or the 'no therapy' group. Patients in the '5-AZA + ATRA' group will receive treatment on a 28-day cycle, in the absence of prohibitive toxicities, for 3 cycles. In the 'no therapy' group, patients will initially be observed for 3 cycles and then receive treatment for 3 cycles, in the absence of prohibitive toxicities. After the treatment period, all patients will be followed for up to 24 months from the start of the study or until the events leading to discontinuation are observed.
