Filter by:Prostate biopsy is the definitive test to establish the diagnosis of prostate cancer. The standard of care biopsy needles do not predictably obtain full cores of tissue and what tissue obtained is often fragmented, making pathologic review a challenge. The VMCore Biopsy System has a geometry in the tip of its biopsy needles that capture more tissue in a single sample. This study is to compare the characteristics of tissue captured by either standard of care needles and the VMCore needle.
The goal of this study is to use a clinical micro-ultrasound to systematically image the prostate before biopsy or surgery. The images from the ultrasound system will be saved and compared to other imaging modalities and pathology in order to develop better tools.
This is a single-centre prospective, non-randomized trial to investigate the efficacy of cryotherapy in patients with localized prostate cancer.The aim of study is to investigate the safety profile of cryotherapy in the treatment of prostate cancer and to evaluate the oncological control of prostate cancer by means of cryotherapy focal treatment.
This open-label, First-into-Human (FIH) study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and early efficacy of AVA6000, a FAP-activated pro-drug of doxorubicin, in patients with locally advanced and/or metastatic solid tumours. In Phase Ia, using a 3+3 design, escalating doses of AVA6000 will be administered to patients with a range of solid tumour types to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and/or recommended Phase II dose (RP2D). In Phase 1b, the selected RP2D dose will be assessed in one to three tumour types.
This is a phase I/II study investigating the combination of 225Ac-J591 (a drug that can deliver radiation to prostate cancer cells) with pembrolizumab (immunotherapy, a drug that increases the immune system's ability to destroy cancer cells). This study will assess whether 225Ac-J591 + pembrolizumab + androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) is more effective against prostate cancer than pembrolizumab + ARPI alone.
To demonstrate the effectiveness of the SpaceOAR Vue System in reducing late gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity in subjects undergoing Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) to treat prostate cancer.
Phase 1 (Dose Escalation) of this study will assess the safety, tolerability, dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), and will determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of EU101 in participants with advanced solid tumors. Phase 2 (Dose Expansion) of the study will assess the antitumor effect of EU101 in two indications including colorectal cancer (CRC) and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
The Proseven trial is a prospective interventional study that will evaluate the toxicity and efficacy of MR-guided stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in the profound hypofractionated treatment of prostate cancer. Patients will be treated in 5 daily fractions within a short overall treatment time (OTT) of 7 days. A simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) will be delivered to the intraprostatic dominant lesion (if present) in this study. Besides a potential biological impact of this innovative prostate SBRT treatment, the reduced OTT offers also benefits in terms of patient convenience. The primary endpoint is clinician reported grade 2 or more acute gastrointestinal (GI) and genitourinary (GU) toxicity, assessed using CTCAE v 5.0 and RTOG, measured up to 3 months after the first treatment fraction.
Each year over 20,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer in Canada with the majority undergoing some form of treatment option. Radical prostatectomy and/or radiation therapy are common procedures that are effective in the treatment of prostate cancer. However, they typically incur both short- and long-term side effects (e.g. urinary incontinence, sexual dysfunction, reduced physical function, etc) that can negatively impact one's quality of life. This program of research aims to address the most critical needs of PC survivors: the development and evaluation of interventions to address the quality of life impact of PC. This study will test the Prostate Cancer Patient Empowerment Program (PC-PEP) in 400 men, a comprehensive intervention aimed at educating and teaching the men life skills/habits in order to improve their mental health issues, fitness levels and overall quality of life, and to decrease treatment related side effects. The program also aims to improve the overall health of the participants in the long term.
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Androgens can stimulate the growth of prostate cancer cells. Hormone therapy can fight prostate cancer by androgen deprivation. It is not yet known if neoadjuvant radiation therapy is a more effective therapy for high-risk prostate cancer. PURPOSE: Two-stage randomized trial to compare the effectiveness and safety of neoadjuvant radiotherapy and hormone therapy followed by radical prostatectomy in men with high-risk locally advanced prostate cancer
