Filter by:In this study we are comparing two forms of radiotherapy. This study is being done because it is not clear at present time whether intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) can reduce side effects of radiotherapy compared to standard radiotherapy (called 3D-Conformal Radiotherapy).
This is a Phase I Dose-Escalation Study of BMS641988 in Patients with Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer.
Multicenter study in which patients with metastatic hormone refractory prostate cancer (HRPC), who have not had previous chemotherapy or immunotherapy treatments, received MDX-010 every 3 weeks for 4 doses (12 weeks total duration of induction). MDX-010 was administered at escalating dosage levels of 3, 5, and 10 mg/kg/dose infusions. At least 6 patients were to be enrolled in each dosage level. Patients who tolerated and responded to treatment or who had stable disease for 3 months or longer and who subsequently progressed during the follow up phase of the study had the option to receive additional treatment with MDX-010, up to 4 cycles. Patients were followed in the study for response up to 2 years and were followed for survival status for up to 5 years after enrollment.
Identification of Risk Allels for Prostate Cancer
This study is looking at biomarkers in prostate cancer.
RATIONALE: Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs or substances to keep cancer from forming, growing, or coming back. The use of lycopene, a substance found in tomatoes, may keep prostate cancer from forming. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well lycopene works in preventing prostate cancer in healthy participants.
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving radiation therapy together with chemotherapy before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of docetaxel when given together with radiation therapy and to see how well they work in treating patients who are undergoing surgery for high-risk localized prostate cancer.
The main purpose of this trial is to collect information and to evaluate the effects, good or bad, the combination of docetaxel and bevacizumab has on patients with high risk prostate cancer that are undergoing radical prostatectomy.
This is a feasibility study to determine safety and the ability of HIFU (High Intensity Focused Ultrasound)to selectively destroy prostate cancer tissue in men who demonstrate local recurrence of prostate cancer following radiation treatment.
RATIONALE: Giving dexamethasone together with aspirin and diethylstilbestrol may be effective in lowering prostate-specific antigen levels and may slow or stop the growth of prostate cancer. It is not yet known which schedule of dexamethasone, aspirin, and diethylstilbestrol is more effective in treating prostate cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying dexamethasone and aspirin when given together with two different schedules of diethylstilbestrol to compare how well they work in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic prostate cancer.
