With existing evidence showing the difference in miRNA expression levels between non-cancer and cancer groups, the investigators assume that levels of DNA methylation, RNA expression as well as protein concentration will also be dysregulated during disease progression. Combining the power of multi-omic cancer biomarkers, the investigators hypothesize that the sensitivity and specificity of MiRXES MCST can be significantly improved compared to existing multi-cancer diagnostic tests. In this study, the investigators propose to develop and validate blood-based, multi-cancer screening tests through a multi-omics approach.
Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in men in the Unites States. Nearly 1 million prostate biopsy procedures are performed in the United States annually and elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level is the primary reason for prostate biopsy in > 90% of cases. However, at the PSA levels which trigger prostate biopsy, often no cancer is found in prostate biopsy specimens. PSA test can be elevated due to reasons other than cancer such as inflammation or natural variation in the level. Investigators plan to treat men with elevated PSA level with over the counter anti-inflammatory medications (ibuprofen, naproxen) to see if the PSA level will decrease to an acceptable level.
This trial is a prospective clinical trial designed to demonstrate the safety and feasibility of whole-pelvis adaptive prostate stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) with a tumor boost to the magnetic resonance (MR)-detected sites of disease. The hypothesis is that this treatment approach will be safe and feasible with <15% of patients experiencing an acute CTCAEv5 grade ≥3 genitourinary (GU) or gastrointestinal (GI) adverse event.
New androgen pathway targeting agents (ARTA), including Abiraterone acetate, Apalutamide and Enzalutamide, are approved and used in treatment of metastatic hormonal sensitive prostate cancer(mHSPC). However, the development of castration-resistance prostate cancer(CRPC) is only a matter of time. The use of sequential ARTAs in mCRPC showed limited benefit in retrospective series and prospective trials. Therefore this sequence should be avoided because of known cross resistance and the availability of chemotherapy and poly adenosine diphosphate-ribose polymerase(PARP) inhibitors (if a relevant mutation is present). Recently, a randomized controlled trial(RCT), the ABIDO-SOGUG, indicated that compared with docetaxel, maintaining Abiraterone added to docetaxel in chemotherapy-naive patients who have experienced cancer progression to Abiraterone treatment could not improve radiographic progression-free survival or the other endpoints.However, another RCT, the PRESIDE trial, indicated that in patients who had progressed on Enzalutamide, continued Enzalutamide treatment in combination with docetaxel led to a significant improvement of PFS compared with placebo plus docetaxel. The aims of this trial is to assess both the efficacy and safety of docetaxel in combination with Enzalutamide as first-line treatment in mCRPC patients progressed on Abiraterone.
The present study in patients with Prostate cancer and biochemical failure after surgery and/or radical-postoperative Radio Therapy (RT) will evaluate if PET/CT with 18F-JK-PSMA-7 compared to PET-CT 18F-Choline is able to identify the early pattern of biochemical recurrence and/or metastatic sites, so that the patient could be better managed, with a benefit in survival.
This research study is trying to determine the safety and efficacy of the combination of two oral drugs, abemaciclib and darolutamide, with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in the treatment of metastatic, non-metastatic, and advanced prostate cancers. The first phase of the study is to establish a recommended dose for the second phase. The names of the study drugs and interventions involved in this study are: - Darolutamide - Abemaciclib - Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) - this includes several different treatments, including Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH) antagonists and agonists It is expected that about 93 people will take part in the research study. Treatment is expected to last 6 months with a follow up period of up to 4.5 years.
This is a multi-centre, Phase 1/2, open-label clinical trial of the VTP-850 prime-boost immunotherapeutic in men with biochemical recurrence after definitive local therapy for prostate cancer.
Background: The current standard treatment of prostate cancer is either surgery or radiation. Typically, this includes either the removal or radiation of the whole prostate gland. Many people now seek out focal therapy options to decrease the side effects of treatment. Until now, several forms of physical destruction with heat (thermal ablation), cold (cryotherapy), sound waves (HIFU), laser (FLA), and electrical energy (IRE). A new type of radiation (SBRT) may be an effective way to cure men of early-stage prostate cancer with fewer side effects than standard treatments. Objective: To see how people with untreated localized prostate cancer will respond to focal therapy with SBRT. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with untreated localized prostate cancer (prostate cancer which has not spread outside of the prostate gland). Design: - Participants will undergo screening including blood tests, an MRI, a PSMA PET/CT (18F-DCFPyL), and a biopsy. - Small, non-radioactive, gold seeds about the size of a grain of rice will be placed in and/or around the tumor to help target the radiation treatment. - Radiation (SBRT) will occur in 2 separate sessions about 1 week apart. No sedation is used, these sessions are painless. Each session will take about 1-2 hours. Participants can go home afterwards. - Follow-up will continue for 2 years with repeat scans (MRI and PSMA PET/CT) and blood (PSA) tests. - After two years, a biopsy will be done to understand the impact of this new treatment on prostate cancer.
In 2018 the Unity MR-linac was approved for treating patients with online magnetic resonance (MR)-guided radiotherapy. With the MR-linac it is possible to get real-time MR images with high soft tissue contrast, adapt the radiotherapy plan and subsequently irradiate at each treatment fraction. Patients with prostate cancer is one of the patient groups referred for this new treatment and potentially they will benefit with decreased margins around the tumour and increased local tumor control rates. The acute toxicity is important when evaluating treatment tolerability. A prospective longitudinal observation of the acute treatment toxicity to online MR-guided radiotherapy is therefore essential in the evaluation of this new technology. Patient-reported outcomes (PRO) are disease symptoms and treatment toxicity reported directly by patients themselves without clinician interpretation. Several studies have indicated that clinicians tend to underreport the incidence and severity of patient symptoms, thus a systematic use of PROs in clinical trials can provide valuable evidence to the clinicians. As online MR-guided radiotherapy (MRgRT) is a new technology there is limited research worldwide on patient-reported symptoms and quality of life. The objective of this study is therefore to prospectively investigate the patient-reported acute toxicity and changes in quality of life during and after online MR-guided radiotherapy.
