Filter by:The purpose of the study is to test genes for BRCAness(BRCA[BReast CAncer] gene) Studying these genes could help predict which patients would benefit from treatment with satraplatin, a medication being used for subjects who have failed prior chemotherapy. All subjects will have a biopsy of metastatic lesions to measure BRCAness (a gene signature). This gene signature may be able to predict response to satraplatin and a tool will be developed to be able to screen patients likely to benefit from satraplatin. Subjects will all receive Satraplatin days 1-5 and Prednisone 5 mg twice daily every 35 days. Response rates will be evaluated every 2 cycles or approximately every 9 weeks. Patients will be considered responders if they have measurable disease meeting criteria for partial or complete response. PSA will be measured day one of each treatment cycle. Each treatment cycle is 35 days.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of using radiation therapy with 5 fractions of radiation to treat prostate cancer with guidance of radiation using the Calypso 4D Treatment System (Calypso).A number of recent studies have used 5 radiation fraction to treat prostate cancer over 2-3 weeks as compared to the typical treatment which would involve 40-42 smaller radiation fractions over 8-9 weeks. This type of radiation using a smaller number of treatments has been called hypofractionated radiation therapy. The Calypso is a new technique which uses beacons implanted into the prostate which using radio signals are able to localize and track the position of the prostate continuously during radiation therapy. The Calypso system has been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for guidance of radiation therapy during the treatment of prostate cancer and is being utilized all across the United States. However, it has not been tested for hypofractionated radiation therapy.
This is a single-arm, open-label study to assess the safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy of talazoparib in patients with advanced tumors with DNA-repair pathway deficiencies. There will be 2 parts to the study: a dose escalation phase in which the maximum tolerated dose will be defined, and a dose expansion phase.
This study is to evaluate safety, tolerability pharmacokinetics and efficacy of MDV3100 after oral administration to patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer.
This is a Phase I, multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation study of DSTP3086S administered as a single agent by intravenous (IV) infusion to patients with metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC).
This is a single arm, open label study of up to 20 patients with prostate cancer scheduled for prostatectomy at the NIH Clinical Center. 123I-MIP-1072 image data will be evaluated for visible uptake and compared with histopathology.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: Determination of safety and toxicity of vaccination with mRNA transfected DC (based on blood samples, and adverse events). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: Determine immunological response to the vaccine (induction of specific T-cell response) and assessment of tumour response.
The investigators hypothesis is that secondary causes of bone loss are prevalent in patients with breast and prostate cancer, and those patients with secondary causes of bone loss are at higher risk for treatment related bone loss. The goals of this pilot study are to estimate the prevalence of secondary causes of osteoporosis in a cohort of patients with nonmetastatic breast and prostate cancer with osteopenia and osteoporosis.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Guided Imagery and Progressive Muscle Relaxation techniques are effective in the management of pain, fatigue, nausea-vomit, anxiety and depression in patients with either prostate or breast cancer. This study includes a total of 200 patients with prostate and breast cancer randomly assigned to either a control or intervention group. The intervention group received in total 4 sessions of Guided Imagery (protocol floating on a cloud) and Progressive Muscle Relaxation (breathing exercises and use of 11 groups of muscle progressively tensing and relaxing). Measurements included the assessment of pain, fatigue, nausea-vomit, depression, anxiety and quality of life. Additionally, saliva samples were collected prior and after the sessions as to assess saliva cortisol and saliva α-amylase. The same measurements were received by the patients of the control group as to allow comparisons.
This research trial studies biomarkers in bone marrow and blood samples from patients with prostate cancer treated with ketoconazole. Studying samples of bone marrow and blood from patients with prostate cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and identify biomarkers related to cancer.
