Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to find out the toxicities of doxercalciferol given in combination with docetaxel (Taxotere®), as well as to see how well this combination works in the treatment of prostate cancer.
For patients with 1-6 intraparenchymal brain metastases from various primary histologies (except for melanoma), stereotactic radiosurgery (administered upfront or concurrently) or complete surgical resection with neural stem cell (NSC)-preserving whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) results in improved neurocognitive profile over standard WBRT. The goal of this study is to assess feasibility of this treatment approach.
The purpose of this study is to find out what effects, good and bad, the combination of docetaxel with CG1940/CG8711 (immunotherapy drugs) have on destroying prostate cancer before removal the prostate (prostatectomy).
Vorinostat (Suberoylanilide Hydroxamic Acid; NSC 701852) is a drug that inhibits an enzyme that plays a key role in the regulation of cell survival, growth, and eventual cell death, all of which play a role in cancer. As a result, this drug has the potential to affect a tumor's ability to survive. Vorinostat is the most potent drug of its kind that is currently under investigation in clinical trials. The primary objective of this study is to define the maximum safest dose of vorinostat in combination with a standard chemotherapy agent, docetaxel, in patients with advanced and relapsed lung, bladder, or prostate cancer.
RATIONALE: Sildenafil citrate and alprostadil may help patients who have undergone prostatectomy for prostate cancer to recover from erectile dysfunction. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying giving sildenafil together with alprostadil in treating patients undergoing nerve-sparing robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy for nonmetastatic prostate cancer.
This study will determine the best doses of docetaxel and lonafarnib when the two anti-cancer agents are used in combination. Patients with tumors for which treatment with docetaxel would be appropriate are eligible. A second part of the study will further examine the effectiveness of the combination treatment in men with prostate cancer.
RATIONALE: Everolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving everolimus before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying the side effects and how well everolimus works in treating patients with newly diagnosed localized prostate cancer.
RATIONALE: Calcitriol may help prostate cancer cells become more like normal cells, and to grow and spread more slowly. Dexamethasone may help calcitriol work better by making tumor cells more sensitive to the drug. Giving calcitriol together with dexamethasone may be an effective treatment for prostate cancer that did not respond to hormone therapy . PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving calcitriol together with dexamethasone works in treating patients with prostate cancer that did not respond to hormone therapy.
To check the radiosensitivity level in individual patients based on their DNA damage level.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether prostate cancer growth can be slowed in patients who receive Androgel® 1% at 10 gram dose.
