Filter by:The purpose of this international, phase 2, open-label, response rate study of talazoparib is to assess the efficacy and safety of talazoparib in men with DNA repair defects metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) who previously received taxane-based chemotherapy and progressed on at least 1 novel hormonal agent (enzalutamide and/or abiraterone acetate/prednisone).
This research study is comparing two different combinations of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) used together with radiation as a treatment for rising PSA after radical prostatectomy (prostate cancer).
This study evaluate the addition of metformin to standard of care in locally advanced and metastatic prostate cancer, half the patient will receive metformin in combination with standard treatment, and the other half will receive the standard of care only
The study team created a tool to help identify patients who may benefit from shared decision making in the primary care setting. This tool is a guide to aid in decision making for prostate cancer screening. The team proposes the topics to be discussed in the screening conversation include the risk for developing prostate cancer based upon age, race/ethnicity, family history of prostate cancer, history of previous digital rectal exam, and history of previous prostate specific antigen (PSA) as well as self-reported health status and preferences for treatment. The team now proposes 1) testing this tool first for ease of use in primary care clinics 2) revising this tool based upon feedback from patients and providers, then 3) testing this tool for effectiveness in improving patient knowledge that they have an option to be screened for prostate cancer and of specific factors to be considered in the screening decision.
The objective of this study is to obtain human blood CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) to reconstitute a match human immune system in our PDX model. The hypothesis is that by using matched leukocytes and PDX from the same patient, rejection of the PDX by the host immune system will not be observed and therefore a preclinical model to study immunotherapy can be developed to study, understand and improve upon our current therapies. HSPCs will be collected from bone marrow aspirate obtained from a bone marrow biopsy. The secondary objective is to use patient tumor biopsy samples or circulating tumor cell samples to develop additional preclinical models of GU cancers, particularly prostate cancer, that are clinically relevant by generating additional PDXs.
There have been calls from patients, payers, healthcare providers, and policy makers for an evaluation of newer, high-cost radiation technologies compared to conventional forms of radiation therapy. National attention has focused on the use of intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) into routine daily clinical practice for prostate cancer. The goal of the present study is to determine whether the type of radiation treatment received by the patients can result in a reduction in patient-relevant side effects following prostate irradiation. The analysis will be performed by obtaining patient answered surveys looking at side effects.
RADICAL PC1 is a prospective cohort study of men with a new diagnosis of prostate cancer. RADICAL PC2 is a randomized, controlled trial of a systematic approach to modifying cardiovascular and lifestyle risk factors in men with a new diagnosis of prostate cancer.
The primary purpose of this trial is to determine whether dose reduction of enzalutamide in patients with grade 3 fatigue and/or cognition change will lead to an improvement in symptoms while maintaining active drug levels. Patients within 3 months of starting enzalutamide will be assessed by their oncologist as being potentially eligible for dose reduction due to the onset of moderate to severe fatigue and/or cognition change, which is assessed as being due to enzalutamide
MRI is being increasingly relied upon for detection, staging and management of prostate cancer. In this study patients with risk of prostate cancer will be recommended to have a pelvic MRI prior to the standard biopsy of the prostate and standard treatment of any detected prostate cancer. The results of the MRI will be compared to standard diagnosis techniques to see if cancer can be more accurately detected.
This is a Phase I, open-label, parallel design study of PAN-301-1 (SNS-301), a HAAH directed nanoparticle vaccine, given intradermally in cohorts of patients with biochemically relapsed prostate cancer, using a fixed dose escalation schema every 21 days.
