Filter by:RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood in the laboratory from patients with cancer may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors predict how patients will respond to treatment. PURPOSE: This research study is studying blood samples from patients with metastatic prostate cancer previously treated with bicalutamide and goserelin.
The purpose of this research study is to assess the effects of ZD4054 on prostate cancer that has spread to the bones by using new imaging techniques. In particular, this study will use fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) and 18F-Sodium Fluoride (NaF) PET/computed tomography (CT) and MRI scans to look for changes in bone metastasis after ZD4054 therapy.
disulfiram is a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor that may provide benefit for patients with prostate cancer by restoring tumor suppressor genes.
RATIONALE: Lycopene and green tea may stop or delay the development of recurrent prostate cancer in patients has been treated for prostate cancer. It is not yet known whether lycopene or green tea may be more effective in preventing prostate cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying lycopene to see how well it works compared with green tea in preventing prostate cancer in patients previously enrolled in the ProtecT trial
RATIONALE: L-arginine supplements may improve the quality of life and erectile function in men who are prostate cancer survivors. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well L-arginine supplementation works with or without enzyme inhibitors in treating erectile function and quality of life of prostate cancer survivors previously treated with radiation therapy.
This is a randomized, two-arm, placebo controlled trial to evaluate benefit of treatment using POMELLA™ extract on mechanisms known to drive prostate cancer. This research allows provision for biochemical and histological comparisons to be made between POMELLA™ treated and placebo treated prostate tissues removed from men with organ confined prostate cancer.
This research study is being done to collect regular and routine follow-up information related to the outcome of treatment for prostate cancer. This study is also being done to relate treatment outcome to measurement of substances in the blood such as prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and other markers. Also environmental and genetic factors that might be responsible for prostate cancer are being investigated.
RATIONALE: Receiving standard information and watching a video or DVD at home that describes treatment options and treatment outcomes may help patients decide to receive treatment in a clinical trial. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying implant radiation therapy to see how well it works compared with surgery in treating patients with prostate cancer.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) guided focal prostate cancer laser thermal ablation in males, ages 40-80 with biopsy confirmed early clinical stage prostate cancer (T1c or T2a) with an identifiable lesion on mutliparametric MRI, with a Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) of < 15ng/ml, who have not yet undergone pelvic radiation or hormonal deprivation therapy.
Background: - Currently, there is no curative therapy for metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), a leading cause of death in men. However, researchers are exploring new treatments that involve drugs that prevent angiogenesis (the process by which new blood vessels are formed) and can slow or prevent tumor growth. - TRC105 is an experimental drug that blocks angiogenesis, and has been studied for possible use in treating different kinds of cancer. However, it has not been validated to treat prostate cancer in general or CRPC in particular. Objectives: - To determine the effects of TRC105 as a treatment for CRPC - To determine the safety and effectiveness of TRC105 in treating CRPC Eligibility: - Men at least 18 years of age who have been diagnosed with castrate-resistant prostate cancer for which existing treatments have not been effective. Design: - Eligible individuals will have a series of blood and other tests to determine their suitability for participating in the study. - Participants will receive intravenous infusions of TRC105 in a 28-day treatment cycle. Participants will receive i.v. (intravenous) infusions of TRC105 every two weeks on days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle (cohorts 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6) and every week on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of each 28 day cycle (cohort 4). - Participants will receive different doses of TRC105 depending on when they enter the study, up to a maximum tolerated dose or optimum treatment dose. - Frequent blood and urine tests will be performed during treatment, as well as other tests of cancer progression as directed by the study doctors. Participants will receive medicines to help prevent possible adverse side effects of TRC105, such as allergic reaction to the drug. - Participants will continue treatment with TRC105 until they or the study team decides that the medication is not beneficial. No additional testing will be required unless participants discontinue the treatment because of side effects (which the study doctors will follow until the side effects are resolved).
