Filter by:Evaluate the protein expression of lactate dehydrogenase enzyme (LDHA) and MCT-1/-4 transporters, involved in lactate synthesis and transport, in prostate carcinoma tissues from severely overweight/obese (BMI > 27.5) and non-severely overweight/normoweight (BMI < 27.5) patients affected by prostate carcinoma. ii. Characterize the immune infiltrate in the prostate carcinoma of the aforementioned patients. iii. Assess the association between intra-tumoral lactate accumulation (using LDHA and MCT-4 protein expression levels as readouts) and alterations in the tumor immune microenvironment and/or deregulation of relevant oncogenic pathways.
Trial design: A single centre phase II non-randomised study Trial population: Men with intermediate risk localised prostate cancer Recruitment target: 20 patients in total Trial objectives: - Primary To develop a 5 fraction de-escalated dose SBRT protocol capable of reducing side effects - Secondary - To assess levels of acute GU and GI toxicity (CTCAE) - To assess levels of late GU and GI toxicity (CTCAE) - To assess late sexual quality of life (expanded EPIC, IIEF-5) - To assess biochemical relapse-free survival at 2 years Trial treatment: All radiotherapy will be delivered on the MR-linac. Intraprostatic dose will be varied according to risk of local recurrence, based on mpMRI, PSA and histology. The whole prostate will receive 30 Gy in 5 fractions and the GTV plus intra-prostatic margin will receive an isotoxic 45 Gy prescription.
This Investigator-initiated, Treatment of High-Risk Prostate Cancer Guided by Novel Diagnostic Radio- and Molecular Tracers (THUNDER) study will be conducted in subjects with high-risk localized or locally advanced prostate cancer (PCa). The study contains both a randomized Phase 3 treatment intensification study, as well as a treatment de-intensification non-randomized Phase 2 study. The aim of the THUNDER study is to improve the outcome of high-risk PCa by improved risk stratification. Novel radiotracers and a genomic classifier (Decipher) will be used to guide treatment decisions, instead of standard imaging which is limited by lower sensitivity and specificity. The hypothesis for the study is that treatment intensification based on a positive PSMA PET/ CT scan or Decipher high score (> 0.6) improves time to new metastases detected on PSMA PET/ CT in high-risk PCa. In patients who are PSMA PET/ CT negative with a low/ intermediate Decipher score (≤ 0.6), it is hypothesized that treatment de-intensification will improve patient quality of life while maintaining a good oncological outcome. The study will be conducted at multiple centers across Europe. Participation in the study will comprise a screening period, where the screening assessments must be completed before subjects are enrolled and randomized (only for Phase 3 subjects). Eligible, consenting subjects will then undergo treatment according to their assigned study phase and treatment group, to occur over up to 96 weeks (24 months) with a post-treatment follow-up period to monitor safety and efficacy. The study will be closed when 96 events have been registered for the primary endpoint, which is expected to be at 7-8 years from the time of randomization of the first subject.
The primary objective is to demonstrate non-inferiority of the detection rate of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) in targeted biopsies based on PCaVision imaging (PCaVision pathway) in comparison with the detection rate of clinically significant cancer in targeted biopsies based on MRI (MRI pathway).
Radiation therapy (RT) is a key component in the treatment of breast and prostate cancer. However, patients may experience significant side effects. Patients can accurately self-report side effects from RT and these patient-reported outcomes (PROs) can direct communication between patient and healthcare provider (HCP), and facilitate joint decision making. Patients state that using mobile phone applications (apps) to collect PROs (mPROs) is easily incorporated into their daily routines, allowing them to engage at a time and pace that suits them. When mPRO collection is combined with remote symptom monitoring by HCPs, these systems result in improvements in symptom control and quality of life. Currently, patients receiving RT are seen by a Radiation Oncologist once per week during RT and once every few months after RT has finished. Recent evaluations indicate that patients and physicians consider the number of visits to be too frequent during RT, and too infrequent immediately after RT. This research will use weekly mPROs (remotely monitored by RT HCP) to determine if a patient needs (or wants) to be seen by a RT HCP during and/or immediately after RT. Using mPROs to optimize RT patient assessment processes will ensure patients are seen if and when required. For a patient, this could result in reduced time and costs at the hospital. For the physician, resources could be re-allocated to improve access to RT services. Using mPROs after RT has the potential for earlier treatment of side effects, which has been linked to improved survival and quality of life.
This prospective registry and longitudinal study that is designed to carefully measure details of prostate cancer patients' outcomes with focal therapy. The goal of which is to improve patient care.
This study is to investigate the efficacy of Targeted Microwave Ablation (TMA) under MRI-Ultrasound fusion and organ-based tracking (OBT) navigation in localized prostate cancer (PCa) in a multi-centre trial.
HIP is a randomized controlled trial. The aim is investigate the effect, safety and feasibility of brief, high-impact exercise targeting bones in patients with prostate cancer and bone metastases. Furthermore, to investigate the effects of the intervention on bone status (bone mineral density) and body composition, physical function and performance, patient reported quality-of-life outcomes, falls and hospitalizations.
Prospective single-center phase II study to evaluate the PSA, imaging and pathological response, as well as oncological outcomes of systemic radioligand therapy [177Lu]Lu-PSMAI&T (PSMA-RLT) in patients planned for radical prostatectomy (RP) for oligometastatic prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosed using [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET examination. Ten patients with oligometastatic primary PCa diagnosed using [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 PET-CT/MRI imaging will be included in this study.
The goal of this phase 1/2 clinical trial is to investigate the safety of an investigational drug called VIO-01 when taken by people who have different types of solid tumor cancers. There are two parts to this trial, part 1 and part 2. Part 1 of the trial aims to answer these questions: - The safety and tolerability of VIO-01 when it is given alone or in combination with other anti-cancer therapies. - The highest dose that people can take without having unacceptable side effects - How well your body tolerates the drug alone or in combination, how they are absorbed, and the effects they have on your disease. Part 2 of the trial will further test VIO-01's effect in participants with advanced HRRm or HRD+ solid tumors and HRRm/HRD+ recurrent ovarian cancer. Participants will follow a schedule of visits to the study site to have assessments done related to their health condition and to receive the trial treatment.
