Filter by:This is a phase I/II, open-label, dose escalation study of HE3235 administered orally to patients with advanced prostate cancer who have failed hormone therapy and at least one taxane based chemotherapy regimen.
This is an open label, Phase 2 trial of immunotherapy with sipuleucel-T as neoadjuvant treatment in men with localized prostate cancer.
This is a randomized, multicenter, single blind, Phase 2 trial of immunotherapy in men with metastatic androgen independent prostate cancer to evaluate sipuleucel-T manufactured with different concentrations of PA2024 antigen
RATIONALE: Internal radiation uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells. Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects of internal radiation therapy when given with or without external-beam radiation therapy and to see how well it works in treating patients with localized prostate cancer.
The purpose of this study is to assess the response to Taxotere (docetaxel) chemotherapy given as a primary treatment to patients with early and rapid PSA rising after prostatectomy for high risk disease.
This is a single blinded, randomized, cross-over design. Up to 12 patients will be randomly administered a single 10.0 mCi dose of 123I-MIP-1072 or 123I-MIP-1095 (study drugs). The second (alternate) study drug will be administered approximately 14 days after the first. A final follow-up visit will occur approximately 2 weeks after the injection of the alternate study drug.
Cancer patients often experience multiple physical, functional and psychosocial symptoms, but have limited support while being at home between treatments and during rehabilitation. WebChoice is a novel Internet support system that extends traditional health services into patients' homes. The system allows patients to monitor symptoms over time, and provides access to evidence-based self-management options tailored to their reported symptoms as well as a communication area where patients can ask questions to a clinical nurse specialist in cancer care and exchange experiences with other cancer patients. This randomized clinical trial: 1. Tests the effects of WebChoice on primary outcomes of symptom distress, quality of life, depression and health service use, and secondary outcomes of self-efficacy, social support . We will also analyze: 2. Relationships between primary and secondary outcomes; 3. How patients' symptom distress varies over time; 4. Patients' preferences for participation in decision making about symptom management 5. How patients use WebChoice, such as frequency of use, duration, most used components; 6. How patients' experience WebChoice's usefulness and ease of use; 7. Patterns and content of patients' communication with the cancer nurse and other patients. 325 cancer patients (189 breast cancer and 136 prostate cancer patients) were recruited from throughout Norway through advertisements and invitation letters and the Norwegian Cancer Registry. Patients were randomly assigned to WebChoice or the control group that received usual care. Patients are being followed with 5 repeated measures over 12 months. Data are being collected through questionnaires, from system logs, and from interviews that were conducted in subset of experimental group patients. The primary hypothesis will be tested with Repeated Measures ANCOVA techniques. The other research questions will be answered using various inferential and descriptive techniques and through content analysis of messages and transcripts of patient interviews. This study can make a significant contribution to reduce unnecessary suffering and improve the quality of life for a large group of cancer patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine if a family-based intervention (The FOCUS Program) can improve the long-term quality of life and other psycho-social outcomes of men with prostate cancer and their spouses.
The aim of this clinical study is to determine the optimal treatment conditions to achieve prostate cancer tumor ablation and to assess the effects of WST11 mediated VTP treatment in patients with localized prostate cancer. The secondary objectives is to evaluate safety and quality of life ; to assess the pharmacokinetic parameters and to model the relationship between concentration and effects; and to assess the effects, the safety and quality of life of a second WST11 VTP treatment in patients with persistent or recurrent localized prostate cancer after a first VTP;
RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as MRI and magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging, may help in learning how well dutasteride works in patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy and low-risk prostate cancer. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying MRI and magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging in patients receiving dutasteride for benign prostatic hypertrophy and low-risk prostate cancer.
