Filter by:This study is designed to test the hypothesis that using Sipuleucel-T (Provenge) in combination with new hormonal agents (NHA) (abiraterone, enzalutamide, apalutamide) for the treatment of participants with asymptomatic metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and no visceral metastases would enhance the activation of antigen presenting cells (APC) by sipuleucel-T.
The purpose of this study is to find out the effects of exercise therapy on indicators of prostate cancer in people with low-risk prostate cancer who are on active surveillance. The exercise therapy in this study will be regular home-based walking sessions on a treadmill, and that therapy will be assigned by an exercise physiologist (a medical professional who studies how exercise affects the human body). Some participants in this study will have the assigned exercise therapy, and some participants will participate in their usual exercise routines. Researchers will compare how the assigned exercise therapy and the usual exercise routines affect indicators of prostate cancer in participants. This study will not provide treatment for prostate cancer.
The purpose of the study is to measure the muscle strength of the quadriceps 6 months from the start of the intervention, either the maximum load resistance that can be lifted in a single repetition under standardized conditions with the thigh press.
The purpose of this study is to provide access to Ga-68-PSMA-11 PET for evaluation of male veterans with newly diagnosed or biochemically recurrent prostate cancer. All patients will receive conventional imaging (MRI, CT, and/or a molecular imaging bone scan) as well as Ga-68-PSMA-11 PET in order to evaluate the utility of diagnostic testing in patients with positive PSA status, a comparison of results from conventional imaging and PSMA PET imagining will be performed.
The purpose of this research is to determine if using human placental membrane (also called an allograft) helps to improve recovery time for erectile function and bladder control after having robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) surgery.
A single-arm clinical trial was designed in this study. The surgeon will perform urological telesurgery for patients using Chinese domestically produced "MicroHand S" surgical robot system. The "MicroHand S" surgical robot system consists of two physically separated subsystems named the "surgeon console" and the "patient side cart". The surgeon console includes a stereo image viewer, two master manipulators, a control panel and several foot pedals. The patient side cart includes a passive arm that can slide in the up-down direction and be adjusted forward and backward, a swivel head that can rotate around the vertical axis, and three slave arms. In addition, surgical instruments and sterile bags are the essential accessories for the "patient side cart". The principle of the telesurgery is as follows: the surgeon console takes the surgeon's input and translates manipulation into a control signal. After network transmission, the signals will be received by the patient side cart and will be used to control the slave robot to manipulate the instruments to perform the operation within the patient's cavity. The 3D images captured by the endoscopic camera will be simultaneously sent back to the screen of the surgeon console as visual feedback. Data between the surgeon console and the patient side cart will be transmitted through a 5G network or other advanced network networking scheme. The surgeon remotely manipulates the slave arms and performs surgeries for patients in remote areas. The safety and efficacy of the robot system in remote clinical treatment will be verified by the primary and the secondary evaluation criteria. One hundred patients with urological diseases will be enrolled in the clinical trial. Primary evaluation criterion: The success rate of the surgery. Surgery success is defined as that all surgeries are performed remotely and safely without transfering to other types of surgery, such as open surgery or normal robot-assisted surgery. Secondary evaluation criteria: Operative time, blood loss, postoperative pain, preoperative adjusting time, hospitalization time, average network latency, task load, peer recognition, anxiety index. Patient enrollment: This experiment aims to investigate the safety and effectiveness of the domestic robot system in clinical urological surgery under the current network networking scheme. It is planned that 100 patients with urinary system diseases will participate in the clinical trial.
Despite the recognized benefits of physical activity in tertiary prevention, 60-70% of prostate cancer patients are insufficiently active. Yet 150 minutes of brisk walking per week (new WHO recommendations) is associated with a 29% reduction in cancer mortality and a 57% reduction in recurrence. Increasing patients' adherence to regular physical activity appears to be a new challenge for personalized cancer care. Personalized physical activity programmes (1) at home, (2) supported by health professionals, or (3) by peers have shown the effectiveness of regular physical activity. However, these interventions last less than 6 months and do not allow for long-term sustainability of physical activity. This study proposes to combine 3 interventions, which aim to initiate and maintain regular physical activity in prostate cancer patients: - 1-The realization of a personalized and realistic physical activity project via physical activity support devices (sport health centers) - 2-Coaching by a peer (a patient with the same disease who has reached the WHO recommendations for physical activity), who will provide motivational follow-up - 3-Support by health professionals (attending physician) through the prescription of physical activity. The feasibility of ACTI-PAIR program has been demonstrated, the investigators now wish to evaluate it effectiveness.
To explore whether the patients with prostate cancer have functional changes in specific brain areas and changes in psychological and mental characteristics compared with the patients without prostate cancer.
Clinical proof of concept of dual-frequency ultrasound imaging for detection and visualization of prostate cancer.
This observational study aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of radiotherapy for subjects with localized T1-T2 prostate cancer in China who were injected with SpaceOAR Hydrogel, via collecting clinical data related to radiotherapy.
