Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether specific Micro-RNA expression profiles are related to Prostate cancer outcome.
Patients eligible for hormone ablation therapy who are prescribed Firmagon will be followed for a maximum of 3 years to estimate the progression free survival. Data on testosteron levels, QoL and LUTS will be collected if this information is available. Safety information (adverse events) will be collected.
This is an open-label, multi-centre single arm trial to investigate long-term safety and tolerability of degarelix in Korean patients with prostate cancer.
Metformin is a medication that is prescribed for people with diabetes to help the body respond better to its own insulin and decrease sugar production by the liver. This helps control the body's blood sugar level and is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of diabetes. Participant's in this research study will already be receiving androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer. ADT is considered standard of care for prostate cancer. Changes in the participant's metabolism, including changes in insulin and blood sugar levels, are often seen as a result of this type of hormone therapy. Some studies have shown a relationship between insulin and prostate cancer. These studies have suggested that insulin may signal tumor cells to grow. Other studies suggest that people receiving metformin treatment for diabetes may enjoy better outcomes from their prostate cancer then other similar patients who are not treated with metformin.
The purpose of this study is to determine the benefit of enzalutamide versus placebo as assessed by overall survival and progression-free survival in patients with progressive metastatic prostate cancer who have failed androgen deprivation therapy but not yet received chemotherapy.
The primary goal for this trial is to assess the change in PET scans with the administration of zoledronate (bisphosphonate) therapy in patients with metastatic prostate cancer. It has been established that zoledronate therapy may play a role in delaying and reducing the incidence of skeletal events. Researchers propose to evaluate the change in the uptake value of FMAU PET scan after the zoledronate therapy. It has been demonstrated that FMAU PET scans can successfully demonstrate and detect bony metastatic sites in prostate cancer. In addition, investigators would like to evaluate the change in the level of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in the patient as well as outcome of bone scans.
This is a study evaluating the safety and efficacy of the monoclonal antibody olaratumab plus mitoxantrone plus prednisone compared to mitoxantrone plus prednisone in metastatic castration-refractory prostate cancer following disease progression or intolerance on docetaxel-based chemotherapy.
This is a phase II, open label, single center study to evaluate the efficacy of abiraterone acetate (CB7630) administered to patients with castrate resistant prostate cancer who have experienced disease progression on ketoconazole. It is hypothesized that abiraterone will be active in patients who have experienced disease progression on ketoconazole
In this study the investigators will include patients with high risk of PSA relapse scheduled to receive curative surgical treatment. This include patients with high Gleason score (9-10) or micrometastatic disease (tumor cells detected in specimens obtained from bone marrow). They are scheduled for regular follow-ups with PSA measurements. We have previously published that some patients with metastatic prostate cancer may respond to DC-vaccination with tumor mRNA, with a decrease in PSA. PSA response is related to immunological response. Patients receiving DC-vaccination may have a reduced risk of PSA relapse or increased time to PSA relapse. Previous experience with different DC-vaccine protocols in our hospital has resulted in only minor side-effects (grade 1-2 fever, rubor, fatigue, local swelling or pain).
This is a phase I neoadjuvant gene therapy followed by prostatectomy, open-label, dose-escalation trial for prostate cancer patients with high risk of local recurrence after radical prostatectomy. Patients entered into this trial will have Prostate Cancer of Clinical stage T1c, T2 or T3 with a Gleason Score of between 7 (4+3) and 10 at the time of enrollment. Patients will receive three 1 mL injections (3 mL total volume) of Ad-REIC/Dkk-3 into the prostate prior to undergoing a radical prostatectomy. Three patients will be treated at each dose level unless a dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) is observed or MFD (defined as 1 x 10e12 vp/treatment) is achieved with expansion for up to 6 more patients at the MTD or MFD.
