Filter by:Retrospective reports from literature have shown a lower rate of infections for transperineal versus transrectal approach for prostate biopsies in the setting of prostate cancer suspicion. The aim of this study would be to compare in a prospective randomized trial the rate of infection with transperineal versus transrectal approach.
Assessment of the effects of OMN54 (Aneustat) in a population of men with indolent prostate cancer who are otherwise healthy and free of significant co-morbidities and have chosen active surveillance for disease management. The investigators will assess how OMN54 affects PSA, overall tumor burden in addition to any changes in urinary flow. Other biomarkers will be tested to follow disease evolution.
This study will enroll 60 patients previously enrolled to MCC#18523, "A Validation Study on the Impact of Decipher® Testing on Treatment Recommendations in African-American and Non-African American Men with Prostate Cancer: (VANDAAM)" that had high risk Decipher test results (Decipher score >0.45). Patients with a high genomic classifier (GC) score at diagnosis will be approached for formal consenting for PSMA-PET imaging at 2 years post treatment.
Prostate cancer is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity. The purpose of this study is to develop and test non-invasive biomarkers based on methylation changes in PBMC, T-cells and circulated tumor DNA in prostate cancer patients.
The study is randomized and it will be conducted in the field of routine clinical practice. A total of 100 consecutive patients planned to receive radiotherapy for prostate cancer will be enrolled. The patients will enter the study as controls (50 patients that won't receive any experimental IMP) or as treated-group (50 patients that will be also treated with the experimental IMPs, Ialuril® and Ialuril® Soft Gels) according to a predefined, centre-specific randomization.
Background: Immunotherapy drugs help the body to fight cancer. Scientists think that combining some of these drugs will make them work better than when used alone. This may be true for many types of cancer, including castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Objective: To test if the combination of the drugs BN-brachyury, M7824, N-803, and Epacadostat is safe and shrinks tumors. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with CRPC or another metastatic cancer Design: Participants will be screened with: - Medical history - Physical exam - CT or MRI scans - Possible bone imaging - Blood, urine, and heart tests - Possible tumor biopsy Participants will be treated with a 2-, 3- or 4-drug combinations of the following study drugs in 2-week cycles: - Participants will receive M7824 by IV once every 2 weeks. - Participants will receive N-803 by injection once every 2 weeks. They will record any skin changes at the injection site in a diary. - Participants will receive BN-brachyury as 4 injections to different limbs. They will get the first 3 doses 2 weeks apart. Then they will get doses every 4 weeks for 6 months, then every 3 months for 2 years, then every 6 months. - Participants will take Epacadostat orally every 12 hours. They will keep a pill diary. Participants will have physical exams and blood and urine tests at the start of each cycle. They may have scans every 12 weeks. Participants will continue treatment until their disease gets worse or they cannot tolerate the side effects. Participants will have a follow-up visit 4-5 weeks after they stop treatment. They will have a physical exam and blood tests. They may be asked to return for scans every 3 months.
The purpose of this study is collect observational data regarding patterns of care and outcomes of focal therapies for prostate cancer, including but not limited to: high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), cryotherapy, focal laser ablation, irreversible electroporation, photodynamic therapy, and brachytherapy.
In this study, the investigators propose to test the efficacy of a couple-focused, web-based tailored prostate cancer symptom management program, Prostate Cancer Education and Resources for Couples (PERC) in a randomized clinical trial. A two-group (PERC versus National Cancer Institute (NCI) website plus treatment as usual) randomized controlled design will be used, and data will be collected at baseline (T1), 4 (T2), 8 (T3), and 12 months (T4) among 300 patients completing initial treatment for localized prostate cancer and their intimate partners (i.e., 600 participants in total).
The main objective of the trial to determine if the combination of apalutamide with 6 months of androgen deprivation therapy by LHRH agonists in patients with intermediate and limited high-risk, localized prostate cancer receiving primary radiation therapy (RT) results in an improvement of disease-free survival (DFS) evaluated by the treating physician, in comparison to the combination of radiation and androgen deprivation therapy without the addition of apalutamide.
Prostate cancer screening with PSA is plagued by high rate of unnecessary prostate biopsies, especially in the "gray zone" (4.00ng/ml e 10.99ng/ml). We introduce a new circulating-tumor-cell (CTC) biomarker for detection of prostate cancer in patients in the PSA "gray zone" level, with the clinically verified potential to substantially decrease the number of unnecessary prostate biopsies.
