Filter by:This is an open-label, multicenter Phase I/II study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of AT-101 in combination with docetaxel and prednisone in men with hormone-refractory prostate cancer that are either chemotherapy naive or have received and progressed on a docetaxel containing regimen,
Evaluate the efficacy of Abraxane in first line chemotherapy of patients with hormone refractory metastatic prostate cancer, based on prostate specific antigen (PSA) response
The purpose of this study is to test if interleukin-2, a drug that stimulates the immune system, can be used after chemotherapy to slow the progression of your disease. We also want to test what the best dose of interleukin-2 is that can be used safely at home. Interleukin-2, abbreviated as IL2, is a naturally produced growth hormone for the immune cells in our body. It stimulates the growth of the immune cells and enhances their ability to fight infections and cancers. In people with cancer, the immune cells are typically suppressed and became even more so after irradiation and chemotherapy treatment. By giving you more IL2 we hope to enhance the immune system so that it can fight the cancer better, control cancer growth and shrink the cancer.
The purpose of this research study is to determine if an investigational drug called Exisulind will extend the "off-treatment" period of patients receiving Intermittent Androgen Suppression (ADT). There is evidence suggesting that alternating between periods of treatment and no treatment with androgen suppressants may delay the time to develop androgen-insensitive progression and improve overall quality of life. During intermittent androgen suppression (IAS) treatments, men receive a luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist and antiandrogen for a fixed period of time (approximately 9 months) and then enter an off-treatment period, whose length will vary, depending on the rate of rise in the patient's Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA). Once the PSA reaches an established threshold (1 ng/mL in men who have had a prostatectomy or 4 ng/ml in men with an intact prostate), androgen suppression will be re-initiated for another 9 months. These cycles of on-treatment/off-treatment will be repeated until patient no longer responds to the androgen suppression and it is clear that their cancer is progressing. It has been observed that off-treatment periods tend to become shorter with each successive cycle of androgen suppression, presumably due to the emergence of androgen-independent clones. This study proposes to look at exisulind, a pro-apoptotic drug, which may extend the off-treatment period in patients receiving IAS.
This is an National Institute of Health (NIH) funded, investigator-initiated, single center prospective study to investigate the ability of the new dual-modality positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET-CT) imaging systems in comparison to conventional imaging methods in assessing treatment response in men with metastatic prostate cancer. The investigators will enroll two groups of men with stage IV metastatic prostate cancer, each group will be comprised of 160 patients. - Group I: men with newly diagnosed hormone-responsive measurable metastatic disease who will be treated with androgen-ablation therapy - Group II: men with newly-developed hormone-refractory measurable metastatic disease who will be treated with chemotherapy and /or other therapies for hormone refractory disease To be eligible, men in either group must have rising serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) level - defined as at least 2 consecutive rises in PSA documented over a reference value (1st measure within 28 days prior to recruitment). The first rising PSA (2nd measure) should be taken at least 14 days after the reference value. A confirmatory PSA measure (3rd measure) obtained at least 14 days after the 2nd measure is required and must be greater than the 2nd measure. Additionally, patients must have a serum PSA concentration of at least 2 ng/mL in addition to increasing PSA to be eligible. Patients will be followed with the PET-CT at 4, 8, and 12 months after the initiation of androgen ablation therapy (Group I) or chemotherapy (Group II).
This is a multi-centre, phase II, open-label, two-stage design, single-arm study in patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer (HRPC) with advanced (rising PSA) and/or metastatic disease and who have had prior anti-androgen therapy. The study will further explore the efficacy of E7389 by enrollment of patients into two strata: those who have had no prior systemic chemotherapy for their disease (except for mitoxantrone and estramustine), and those who failed no more than one previous chemotherapeutic regimen with tubulin-binding agents such as docetaxel.
Patients with recurrent or metastatic solid tumors receive oral vinorelbine at one of three different doses (30 or 40 or 50 mg). Vinorelbine will be administered orally at a metronomic schedule three times a week: on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving gemcitabine together with docetaxel works in treating patients with metastatic prostate cancer.
This trial is designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of GM-CSF used as a maintenance program in patients with androgen-independent prostate cancer (AIPC) who have achieved a maximal response on a taxotere or other chemotherapy schedule.
The primary objective of this study is: - To evaluate the effect of DN-101 in combination with docetaxel (ASCENT regimen) on survival in metastatic androgen-independent prostate cancer The secondary objectives of this study are: - To determine the effect of the ASCENT regimen on the rate of thromboembolic events (blood clots) - To determine the effect of the ASCENT regimen on prevention of skeletal-related events (fractures) - A Separate sub-study will be conducted at selected study sites in North America to determine the population PK of DN-101.
