View clinical trials related to Prostate Cancer.
Filter by:Prostate cancer is the most common malignancy in men. Three million are currently living in the United States with the disease and this number is expected to rise to four million in 2024. Most live many years with the disease and experience significant morbidity both due to disease progression and treatment toxicity. Exercise has shown to improve QoL and reduce treatment toxicity. Moreover epidemiological evidence has suggested that physical activity improves survival. Football has been shown to induce positive effects on body composition and bone markers in a subgroup of prostate cancer patients, those receiving androgen deprivation therapy. The objective is to examine the effectiveness of football in prostate cancer survivors.
Background: - There are several ways to treat prostate cancer. Researchers want to see how well a certain kind of imaging helps detect prostate cancer. They also want to see if a particular drug combination used before surgery will benefit people with prostate cancer that hasn't spread in the body (non-metastatic). The combination will be androgen deprivation therapy and enzalutamide. - The combination of androgen deprivation therapy and enzalutamide has been shown to make patients with advanced (metastatic disease) live longer. The investigators want to see if using it earlier can increase cure rate of surgery and identify genetic or molecular characteristics that are associated with better outcomes. Objectives: - To develop better ways of detecting prostate cancer before and after pre-operative treatment. Eligibility: - Men at least 18 years old with non-metastatic prostate cancer. They must be candidates for a radical prostatectomy. Design: - Participants will be screened with medical history, physical exam, and blood tests. They will have scans and X-rays. - Before starting the study drugs, participants will have: - Vital signs taken, medical history, and blood tests. - Electrocardiogram (ECG) heart test, with patches stuck on the skin. - Small piece of tumor removed (biopsy) using image guidance from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ultrasound. - 3T multi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI). Participants will lie on a table that slides into a metal cylinder. A probe will be inserted in the rectum. They will be in the scanner for about 60 minutes, lying still. The scanner makes loud knocking sounds. Participants will get earplugs. - Participants will take the 2 study drugs for 6 months. - Enzalutamide is taken as 4 pills once a day. - Androgen deprivation therapy is given by injection 2 times over 6 months. - During these 6 months, participants will visit the clinic monthly. They will have physical exam, vital signs, and blood drawn. - After finishing the study drugs, participants will have another 3T mpMRI. Then they will have prostate removal surgery.
This is to prospectively investigate whether the chemopreventive agent, MCS, may favorably alter biomarker expression, whether serum carotenoids levels are associated with biomarkers levels, and whether the alterations of biomarker expression may reflect the cancer risk as shown by cancer incidence at the end of the clinical trial.
The objective in this study is to determine if MRI-identified progression can decrease frequency or need for repeated prostate biopsy in men on active surveillance (AS). Our hypothesis is that MRI alone is adequate to detect progression of prostate cancer in men on active surveillance (AS) after a MRI-US fusion prostate biopsy.
This is a pilot study to determine cancer detection rate of conventional/systematic versus targeted biopsy methods in diagnosis of potentially lethal prostate cancer. This is a diagnostic trial using each patient as his own control.
Evaluation of significant Shear Wave Elastography Parameters for Prostate Biopsy and Prostate Cancer detection.
This is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, non-randomized study evaluating the ability of [89]Zr-Df-IAb2M to detect local, regional and metastatic prostate cancer confirmed by pathology.
20 patients with invasive castration resistant prostate cancer and radiologically verified metastases will be enrolled into the Phase I Clinical Trial. The trial is a dendritic cell based immunotherapy. Autologous dendritic cells will be obtained by leukapheresis and elutriation and stimulation by cytokines. The induced dendritic cells will have to pass viability, immunophenotyping and sterility criteria and will be injected into a cryoablated region of the primary prostate cancer tumor. The treatment is supplemented by immunomodulatory regimens.
This is a prospective, single arm, phase II, multicentric study. It evaluates the acute and late toxicity after stereotactic radiotherapy in low risk prostate cancer patients. All participants receive a total dose of 36.25 Gy in 5 fractions, twice a week, 7.25 Gy per fraction.
The goal of this clinical research study is learn how AMG208 may help to control prostate cancer that has spread to the bone. The safety of the drug will also be studied.
