Filter by:Prostate cancer patients diagnosed with a biochemical recurrence and limited metastases are conventionally treated with androgen deprivation therapy. However, in patients with limited metastatic load, the time to progression might be. Subsequently, active surveillance of these patients until progression might defer the start of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for several months to years. As an alternative, salvage treatment of the limited number of metastases with either surgery or radiotherapy might postpone the start of ADT even longer. The current trial hypothesizes that ADT might be deferred longer following salvage treatment as compared to active surveillance.
This study examines Limited versus extended pelvic lymphadenectomy.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether MRI guided prostate biopsy achieves higher prostate cancer detection rates compared with transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy in patients with increased PSA values > 4.0 ng/ml.
Background: - Advanced prostate cancer is treated with surgery or drugs that lower the levels of androgens (male hormones) in the body. However, some cancers become resistant to this treatment. These types of cancers are known as castration-resistant prostate cancers. - Interfering with the growth of blood vessels that feed tumors can slow prostate cancer growth. Trebananib (AMG 386), a new anticancer drug, targets the blood vessels that feed tumors. It has been tested for different types of cancer, but not for prostate cancer. Researchers want to see if AMG 386 can slow disease progression in men with castration-resistant prostate cancer. AMG 386 will be given with abiraterone and prednisone, two drugs that are also used to treat advanced prostate cancer. Objectives: - To test the safety and effectiveness of AMG 386 with abiraterone for castration-resistant prostate cancer. Eligibility: - Men at least 18 years of age with castration-resistant prostate cancer. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam, medical history, and imaging studies. Blood and urine samples will also be collected. - Participants will be separated into two groups. - The first group will have AMG 386 once per week for a total of four doses during a 28-day cycle. They will also take abiraterone once a day and prednisone twice a day, every day of the cycle. - The second group will not have AMG 386. They will take abiraterone once a day and prednisone twice a day, every day of the 28-day cycle. - Treatment will be monitored with frequent blood tests and imaging studies. - Participants will continue to take the study drugs as long as the disease does not progress and there are no severe side effects.
The purpose of our study is to image human prostate tissue using a transrectal photoacoustic imaging probe.
The purpose of this phase 2, open-label, single-arm, multidose, multicenter study is to investigate the effects of Orteronel plus Prednisone on the QT/QTc interval in patients with Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostrate Cancer
The aim of this study was to investigate whether robot assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy give rise to the impairment of diaphragmatic function postoperatively, and whether combined general/epidural anesthesia could provide better postoperative diaphragmatic function.
The purpose of this study is to determine if enzalutamide is an effective therapy in treating localized prostate cancer prior to prostatectomy.
RATIONALE: Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Drugs, such as steroid 17alpha-monooxygenase TAK-700, when used with other hormone therapy, may lessen the amount of androgens made by the body. Radiation therapy uses high energy x rays to kill tumor cells. This may be an effective treatment for prostate cancer when combined with hormone therapy. Studying quality-of-life in patients having cancer treatment may help identify the intermediate- and long-term effects of treatment on patients with prostate cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying the use of hormone therapy, including TAK-700, together with radiation therapy in treating patients with prostate cancer.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate hormone dynamics, pharmacokinetics, safety, and efficacy of TAP-144-SR(6M) against TAP-144-SR(3M) in prostate cancer patients previously treated with hormonal therapy.
