Filter by:This is a study primarily comparing Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) alone to Positron Emission Tomography (PET)/MRI using an experimental tracer, 68Ga-PSMA-HBED-CC, among men with prostate cancer or prostatic cancer recurrence/metastasis. It is hypothesized that this comparison will demonstrate that PET using the tracer, 68Ga-PSMA-HBED-CC, is more sensitive than MRI alone. Potential subjects who cannot undergo MRI may undergo PET/CT instead.
The purpose of this study is to test if treatment with medications that reduce the male hormone level in the participant's body for a few months before surgery can shrink prostate cancer as much as possible, which might reduce the chances of the cancer coming back in the future. These treatments include a hormone injection given monthly or every three months and the study drugs, which include abiraterone acetate, prednisone, and apalutamide. These medications are being used in combination with surgery and maybe radiotherapy because studies have shown that any single approach on its own is not sufficient to control or get rid of the cancer especially if they have high risk or aggressive features. The researchers hope to learn if combining the study drugs with surgery and radiation will get rid of the cancer from participants' prostates and reduce their prostate-specific antigen (PSA) to an undetectable level.
This study will evaluate approximately 3 months of treatment with the drug olaparib in patients with prostate cancer. A capsule formulation of olaparib (tradename Lynparza™) is approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of women with advanced BRCA-mutated ovarian cancer. Olaparib is an investigational drug in prostate cancer. A tablet formulation of olaparib is being tested in this study. It is a new formulation which is more convenient for patients than the approved capsule formulation because fewer tablets of olaparib need to be taken daily than with capsules. The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether olaparib can reduce prostate cancer with defects in DNA repair genes when olaparib is given for approximately 3 months before surgery.
Prostate cancer (PC) is the most common malignancy (4500 new cases/year) and the second leading cause of cancer-associated mortality (1200 deaths/year) among men in Denmark. PC is generally diagnosed on the basis of an elevated prostate specific antigen blood test followed by transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy. This study aims to test early detection of PC in general practice, using the STHLM3 model with superior specificity and sensitivity for clinically significant PC, combined with multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) of the prostate and MR guided biopsy.
The overall objective of this Early Phase Clinical Trial is to begin defining the accuracy of 68Ga-PSMA-11 for detecting the location and size of clinically significant prostate cancer lesions in low and intermediate risk disease. A molecularly-targeted probe (68Ga-PSMA-11), coupled with an advanced clinical imaging system (Siemens Biograph VisionPET-CT), will improve accuracy during biopsy and staging. We propose detailed intra-lesion whole-mount pathologic analysis as the gold standard for critically assessing PSMA PET accuracy in patients undergoing surgery, and blinded PSMA PET-CT comparison with standard multi-parametric MRI (mpMRI) for patients having biopsy on active surveillance. This intensive testing of the accuracy and value of PSMA-based tracers requires our unique collaboration of surgeons, radiologists, pathologists, and imaging scientists with decades of experience and innovation.
H17-02904 is a randomized comparison of low dose rate vs. high dose rate prostate brachytherapy for favorable and intermediate risk prostate cancer suitable for brachytherapy as monotherapy. This is a continuation with expanded accrual of the randomized Pilot study H15-02103
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of electrical stimulation of nerves responsible for erectile function to evoke penile erection after surgery to remove the prostate (prostatectomy).
The purpose of this research study is to learn more about the outcomes and early and late side effects of treating early stage prostate cancer with high dose rate brachytherapy.
This is a parallel group, multisite prospective clinical study. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether ASCENT enables patients to adhere to the survivorship guidelines and improves coordination of care to address patient needs.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate High-dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy (1 vs 2 fractions on single implant) as monotherapy for the treatment of low risk and intermediate risk prostate cancer
