Filter by:This study evaluates how once daily enzalutamide affects the metabolism of caffeine and dextromethorphan in men with prostate cancer by measuring concentrations of these drugs and their metabolites in plasma.
This is a pilot, feasibility/exploratory study to evaluate the safety of laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) using Visualase in the focal treatment of localized prostate cancer as well as to gather data for the design of future studies.
The purpose of this study is to test how well an online program designed to help prostate cancer survivors cope with changes caused by their cancer or treatment works compared to standard print educational materials from the National Cancer Institute (NCI).
Approximately 50%-95% of prostate cancer patients undergoing radiation therapy (RT) develop symptomatic urinary problems .These symptoms can significantly diminish a patient's quality of life during and shortly after therapy. Alpha1-blockers, such as Rapaflo, act to decrease resistance to urinary flow. This multi-institutional phase III trial is designed to compare standard of care versus preventive treatment with Rapaflo for prostate cancer patients, regardless of risk group, whose treatment consists of radical radiation therapy. We plan to recruit 188 patients across Quebec who will be randomized into two arms: rapaflo prescribed at start of radiation therapy or if/when symptoms appear.
The hypothesis of the study is that targeted MRI/US fusion-guided prostate biopsy with additional systematic transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided biopsy significantly detects more prostate cancers than targeted MR-guided in-bore prostate.
The purpose of this study is to see what effects (good and bad) treatment with abiraterone acetate (an oral hormonal agent) and prednisone (a steroid) with and without cabazitaxel (a chemotherapy) have on the cancer and to find out more about whether specific laboratory tests on tumor are useful in predicting how the patient will respond to treatment.
Determine the effect of enzalutamide and dutasteride or finasteride on the time to prostatic-specific antigen level increase in patients age 65 or older.
The purpose of this study is to assess the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, efficacy and safety of CAM2032 q1m versus Eligard, in patients with prostate cancer. All patients will receive leuprolide acetate administered subcutaneously once monthly during 3 months.
This registry is intended to measure the impact of Prolaris® testing on therapeutic decisions when added to standard clinical-pathological parameters in men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer.
Background: - All cells go through cycles which allow them to divide. In normal cells, checkpoint kinase 1 (Chk1) and checkpoint kinase 2 (Chk2) (CHEK 2 (Chk1/2) stop cell division at various points to allow any damage to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) to be repaired. - When Chk1/2 are not present, cells stop dividing and eventually die. Chk1/2 Inhibitor (Prexasertib (LY2606368) blocks the Chk1/2 proteins. - Researchers hope that by blocking Chk1/2, it will cause tumor cells to die, thereby shrinking tumors. Objective: - To see if LY2606368 helps shrink tumors in patients with certain breast, ovarian or prostate cancers. Eligibility: - Participants at least 18 years old with breast or ovarian cancer. They must have a mutation in BRCA1 BReast CAncer gene 1 and BRCA2 BReast CAncer gene 2 (BRCA1/2) genes for group 1, high grade serious ovarian cancer without BRCA1/2 mutation for group 2, or triple negative breast cancer without BRCA1/2 mutation for group 3, or prostate cancer with or without BRCA1/2 mutation for group 4. Design: - Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. They will have blood tests, an electrocardiogram (ECG) heart test, scans, and X-rays. They will have a piece of their tumor removed at entry (computed tomography (CT)-assisted biopsy). - Study Day 1: Participants will have a physical exam and blood drawn. They may have a CT scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. - Day 1 and Day 15 of each 28-day cycle: Participants will receive the study drug through an intravenous (IV). - Vital signs will be checked before and after. An ECG will be done within 1 hour after. - Day 15 and Day 28: Participants will have a physical exam, blood drawn, and a 12 lead ECG. - Cycle 1: Participants will have weekly phone calls and blood draws. Participants may have another CT-assisted biopsy at the end of cycle 1. - Cycle 2 and beyond, blood will be drawn every other week for routine blood tests. - Participants will have an after-study visit with a physical exam and blood tests. Participants may have another biopsy when they progressed on treatment. They will have scans of the chest, pelvis, and abdomen and a 12 lead ECG.
