Filter by:Prostate Cancer (PC) is the most frequent cancer in men, accounting for 21% of new cases of cancer in men in the United States. Among the four most incident tumors (breast, lung and colorectal cancer); prostate cancer is the only that does not have any predictive biomarker to guide the treatment. Even though the molecular heterogeneity of PC is well-documented, treatment has not been molecularly stratified and the need for genetic prognostic and predictive markers is critical. DNA repair defects (DRD), mainly in the Homologous Recombination (HR) pathway (such as BRCA1, BRCA2, ATM and CHEK2) are emerging as potential biomarkers in prostate cancer. It is well known BRCA1 and BRCA2 carriers have better Progression-Free Survival (PFS) and Overall Survival (OS) than non-carriers in ovarian cancer. Differently than ovarian tumors that BRCA mutations provides a good prognosis, PC patients who harbor HR defects have a higher Gleason score 6, an increased risk of recurrence and poor prognosis. The predictive role of DRD in PC was demonstrated in a recent trial using Olaparib, a PARP inhibitor, in DRD carriers. This trial showed 88% of response rate with Olaparib, a PARP inhibitor that acts in HR pathway by synthetic lethality. Recent data demonstrated important association between HR deficient high-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSOC), high neoantigen load and high expression of PD-1/PD-L1 compared with HR proficient HGSOCs 10. This study showed that BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations increase the number of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and confer a better prognosis. The unprecedented success of immunotherapy in malignant disorders has provided evidence that the patient's immune system can be improved to attack established tumors, mainly melanoma, non-small cell lung cancer and kidney cancer. A high mutational burden increases the likelihood of the development of specific neoepitopes that would confer clinical benefit from CTLA-4 and PD-1 blockade. These data showed that specific DNA repair defects increase the mutational burden, the expression of PD-1/PD-L1 and TILs; and could improve the response to immunotherapy in cancer. This rationale was already tested in a trial that evaluated the PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor Pembrolizumab in mismatch-repair deficient patients, a kind of DNA repair defect by definition. This important trial showed that this DRD predicted clinical benefit of immune checkpoint blockade in many types of cancer, especially colorectal cancer.
The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy and safety of the implementation of a program of " image-guided focal Intensification dose to intraprostatic dominant lesion " in men with localized prostate cancer (PCa) of intermediate and high risk (criteria NCCN) eligible to receive radiotherapy in the Department of Radiation Oncology of HUP (Hospital Universitario de La Princesa), within the established dose escalation protocol with intensity modulated image-guided radiotherapy (IMRT / IGRT).
This is a pilot study to test a hypothesis that a greater increase in serum chromogranin A (CgA) after a definitive radiotherapy (RT) with or without androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is associated with a higher risk of prostate cancer recurrence after RT. Serum CgA level is measured before the start of RT and/or the start of neoadjuvant ADT for patients undergoing a definitive RT with or without ADT. CgA is also measured at various pre-defined post-RT time points. The study will analyze the followings: 1. Change in CgA level at various pre-defined post-RT time points from the baseline, 2. Correlation between the extent of post-therapy CgA change and Gleason score of malignancy, 3. Correlation between the extent of post-therapy CgA change and treatment outcome.
The proposed study will assess the feasibility of an exercise and dietary intervention in men with castrate resistant prostate cancer with secondary outcomes assessing improvements in physical functioning, fatigue, quality of life, and body composition.The study will have 2 arms, with one set of participants randomized to resistance exercise training intervention plus dietary advice and the other arm will be standard of care plus exercise advice.
This is a randomized, open-label, three-arm, phase 3 study in men with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer and PSA doubling time ≤ 9 months at the time of study entry.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness, safety and tolerability of nivolumab followed by ipilimumab, in subjects with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
This is an open label non-comparative controlled randomized phase II study. The experimental arm is the group receiving ODM-201. The group receiving androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) is included as an internal control. The primary trial objective is to demonstrate that ODM-201 produces prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response rates at 24 weeks (defined as ≥80% reduction compared to baseline) that are in the range of those achieved with 24 weeks of ADT. In total, this 1:1 randomized study will therefore require randomization of at least 250 patients, 125 to each arm.
The purpose of this study is to look at the effect that the study drug OPC has on AGE levels in patients with prostate cancer.
This will be a single arm, window of opportunity study in men with treatment-naïve prostate cancer who will proceed to prostatectomy. Men will be treated with carvedilol prior to undergoing prostatectomy.
This study evaluates the safety, anti-tumor effect, and immunogenicity of Enoblituzumab given before radical prostatectomy. All patients will receive Enoblituzumab for 6 weekly doses beginning 50 days prior to radical prostatectomy.
