Filter by:The clinical trial aims to address the critical challenge of differentiating aggressive from indolent prostate cancers by correlating prospectively collected MultiParametric (MP) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data (index test) with the histopathology of radical prostatectomy specimens (reference standard). The study design incorporates pre-biopsy MRI, routine standard of care Transrectal Ultrasound guided (TRUS) biopsies and MRI/Ultrasound (US) image fusion techniques to guide biopsies to the suspicious areas identified by MRI. The hypothesis is that MP-MRI will allow pre-treatment determination of prostate cancer aggressiveness and MRI/US image fusion is expected to accurately co-locate cancer foci within the prostate gland for guiding biopsies. Pre-treatment prediction of Gleason grade as a marker of cancer aggressiveness will better inform clinicians and patients to improve risk stratification and facilitate decision making on subsequent treatment. Image fusion will allow accurate targeting of the most suspicious areas on MP-MRI for biopsy, which could obviate the need for multiple biopsies.
The goal of this clinical research is to learn if treatment with androgen deprivation therapy in combination with surgery or radiation therapy can prolong the progression-free survival of oligometastatic prostate cancer than androgen deprivation therapy alone. The safety of this treatment combination will also be studied.
1. The overall objective of the study: By evaluating the curative effect of CSAP in localized prostate cancer, locally advanced prostate cancer and metastasis advanced prostate cancer, and the change of state in cellular immunity and humoral immunity before and after CSAP. Validate the clinical therapeutic effect of all kinds of prostate cancer, as well as the change of immune status before and after CSAP. 2. The main content of the study: 1. Included in the samples are patients in hospitals for CSAP. The sample capacity are planned to be 80. The main purpose of the study is to observe the overall survival rate , disease free survival rate, the progress time of the PSA biochemical recurrence as well as the disease progress time. 2. Measure the change of concentration in peripheral blood T lymphocyte subsets (CD3 + T, CD4 + T, CD8 + T, CD4 + / CD8 + T, NK cells) and regulatory T cells before and after cryoablation within 1 month, 3 months and 6 months. 3. Measure the change of concentration in peripheral blood IFN-1, IL-4, IFN-1/IL-4 ratio (Thl/Th2 ratio), and detect the secretion of CD4 + Th tumor-specific IFN-l and the activity of tumor-specific killer CD8 + CTL before and after cryoablation within 2 weeks and 1 month. 4. Before cryoablation, detect the expression and distribution of Follistatin-Like1 (FSTL-1), Besides, verify the connection between the number and activation ratio of tumor local dendritic cells (DC) and the FSTL-1, evaluating the cryoablation effect on the immune response.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the serum testosterone levels in patients with Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer on SoluMatrix™ Abiraterone Acetate as Compared to Abiraterone Acetate
This is a tissue and blood collection protocol requiring image-guided biopsies of metastatic prostate cancer and other genitourinary malignancies including renal cell carcinoma and urothelial carcinoma. Whenever possible, a new bone lesion or new/progressing soft tissue lesion will be chosen for biopsy as opposed to radiographically stable lesion. Patients will be enrolled in into one of several parallel cohorts based upon disease status or type and the planned systemic therapy following baseline tumor biopsy: (A) Androgen signaling inhibition, (B) Immunotherapy, (C) Radiotherapy, (D) Targeted Therapy/Investigational therapeutic, (E) DNA damage response pathway, (F) Aggressive variant disease, (G1) Castration-sensitive ADT naïve and ADT < 3 months), or (G2) Castration-sensitive pre-treated with sub-optimal PSA nadir >0.2 ng/ml, (R) metastatic renal cell carcinoma and metastatic and (U) urothelial carcinoma.
ABIFOOD study is a randomized open-labelled, phase I study to evaluate food effect in the pharmacokinetic parameters of abiraterone acetate (AA) at reduced doses, versus AA in fasting conditions at conventional doses, in castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients who have progressed to docetaxel.
The study population will be 80 adult men who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer who are scheduled to have their prostate surgically removed at either the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) or the Ralph H. Johnson VAMC, both located in Charleston, SC. The men will be randomized into two groups: one group will take vitamin D3 supplementation and the other will take a placebo. Blood levels of vitamin D3 will be obtained at the beginning of the study and again after two months, just prior to the surgical procedure (prostatectomy). Prostate tissue will be obtained from the surgical procedure and studied for the effect of vitamin D on the prostate cancer cells.
The purpose of this open-label, single-arm, multicenter, post-marketing trial is to evaluate long-term safety of Firmagon® in approximately 230 Indian patients diagnosed with advanced hormone-dependent prostate cancer requiring androgen deprivation therapy.
MR (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) - based IGRT (image-guided radiotherapy) for patients with prostate carcinoma.
There is a growing body of evidence exploring the role of curcumin as a radioprotector against radiation-induced injury in normal tissues as well as a radiosensitizer in tumor cells. The aim of this study is to determine the efficacy of oral nanocurcumin in prostate cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy.
