Filter by:The project aims at developing and structuring a network of clinicians, pathologists, and scientists, from the "Grand Ouest" area, most of them already involved in prostate cancer management and research. Patients treated by radical prostatectomy will be recruited within the ReSCaP network of clinicians, with centralized database and standardized bio-resource collection, including prostate and adipose tissue samples. Seven clinical centers will participate to the network, 6 recruiting mainly Caucasian patients, and 1 from the French West Indies recruiting mainly African Caribbean patients. After 18 months, 1000 patients will be included. The main goal is to study the relationships between adipose tissue/lipids and prostate cancer aggressiveness. In fact, adipose tissue is likely to be involved in cancer progression at many levels: abdominal obesity has been associated with aggressive disease, and poly-unsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), as well as cytokines produced by adipocytes (adipokines) have an impact on cancer cells growth and migration in vitro. Moreover, adipose tissue is the preferential site of storage of persistent organic pollutants with estrogenic properties, which could impact cancer progression. The study will analyze the association between adipose tissue (distant from the prostate) composition and cancer aggressiveness. Among the 1000 patients, 100 aggressive tumors will be selected according to the d'Amico criteria (Gleason score 8 or more and/or pT3 tumors). They will be matched with 100 potentially indolent prostate cancers (Gleason 6 or less, and PSA less than 10, and pT2 stage on the surgical specimen). These 200 adipose tissue samples will be analyzed for 1/ the lipid profile, including the fatty acid composition, particularly PUFAs, that reflects past dietary fat intake, 2/ adipokine expression, and 3/ tissue concentrations of persistent organic pollutants belonging to the class of organochlorine pesticides with hormone-like activity.
We aim to evaluate the change in optic nerve sheath diameters as a surrogate of intracranial pressure before and after mannitol administration in patients who undergo robot assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy with pneumoperitoneum and Trendelenburg position.
68Ga-PSMA is a radiopharmaceutical used with PET imaging for the detection of prostate cancer under a compassionate IND in patients who have presented with biochemical failure. In this study, the use of 68Ga-PSMA-11 will be extended to newly diagnosed patients with high risk prostate cancer. Patients enrolled to this study will undergo a 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT or PET/MRI scan for research purposes (in addition to the routine CT or MRI that is routinely done for staging), and a second 68Ga-PSMA-11 administration just prior to surgery for experimental ex-vivo beta probe testing of resected tissue. Immediately following resection of the prostate, the intact tissue will be scanned using a PET camera designed for animal research in order to record the 68Ga-PSMA-11 distribution in the isolated tissue at higher resolution than can be attained using whole-body PET imaging. The experimental beta probe will then be use to measure 68Ga-PSMA-11 counts of the resected tissue.
PATH is a research study for cancer survivors to help participants to become more active. Studies suggested an association between inactivity and cancer. The investigators created new novel ways and technologies that may help participants to become more active. The three methods the investigators are studying are: 1) participant become active on her/his own; educational material will be provided; 2) working with a programmed health coach over the phone via text messages; and 3) using digital voice assist to help participant become more active. The digital voice assist will be delivered via Amazon Alexa on Echo speaker (it is the famous intelligent voice that you see in superball commercial by Alec Baldwin). This study is funded by the State of Maryland.
This was a placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized trial designed with the aim of establishing whether curcumin influenced the duration of treatment interruption and rate of prostatic specific antigen(PSA) progression, compared with placebo among men with prostate cancer receiving intermittent androgen deprivation therapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety in patients with prostate cancer receiving the drug in the routine clinical setting.
This is a first-time-in-man (FTIM) multicenter, dose escalation study designed to investigate the safety, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics of AZD5153 in patients with malignant solid tumors, including lymphomas.
The broad goal of the Exercise During Active Surveillance for Prostate Cancer (ERASE) trial is to examine the effects of exercise in prostate cancer patients undergoing active surveillance.
The study will evaluate safety and immunological response to RhoC peptide vaccine in patients with prostate cancer
Phase 1 A: First-in-human phase 1 study to determine safety of NP-G2-044 when given orally on a daily X 28 days followed by a 14 day rest period.
