View clinical trials related to Prostate Cancer.
Filter by:Rationale: Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men worldwide. Survival rates are high due to the typically non-aggressive nature of disease and effective treatments. Radical treatments such as surgery and radiotherapy often cause toxicity and long term side effects. Based on current available literature, the choice for primary therapy for clinically localised prostate cancer has a negative impact on cancer-specific quality of life (QOL). New interventional treatments are being developed. The investigators aim to build a multidisciplinary prostate cancer cohort which will serve as a multi-trial facility for interventional treatment studies. The Trials within Cohorts (TwiCs) design, also known as cohort multiple Randomized Controlled Trial design (cmRCT) will be conducted and as a prospective registry for assessment of long-term safety, performance and effectiveness new treatment interventions. Objective: To set up a cohort that will serve as a multi-trial platform and facilitate evaluation of new interventional treatment for prostate cancer. Study design: Observational, prospective cohort study, according to the 'Trials within Cohorts' (TwiCs) design. Study population: All patients with newly diagnosed histologically proven prostate cancer. Main study parameters/endpoints: Clinical parameters (e.g. co-morbidity, oncological history, symptoms, imaging, technical and treatment data), clinical endpoints (e.g. toxicity, and survival outcomes) and patient reported outcomes (e.g. QOL).
This study is an investigator initiated clinical study. A prospective, single arm unblinded, open label study will be carried out to determine the feasibility of recruitment, retention and adherence of 36 prostate cancer survivors who have been on androgen deprivation therapy within the last 5 years for a lifestyle modification intervention.
Evaluate the safety and tolerability of AMG 509 in adult participants and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D).
Stereotactic Ablative Radiation (SABR/SBRT) will be prescribed to a dose of 35 Gy in 5 fractions, once weekly to prostate with a simultaneous intra-prostatic boost to the MR detected nodule up to 50Gy. The pelvic lymph nodes and seminal vesicles will also receive 25 Gy in 5 weekly fractions.
This is a study to evaluate whether use of a pedometer following radical prostatectomy decreases post-operative narcotic use and time to return of bowel function.
Urological malignancies such as prostate cancer and renal cell cancer in Korean population have been increased due to the aged population and the westernized lifestyles. With the advancement of sequencing technologies, use of genetic mutation profiles in cancer detection and progression has been increased. However, use of circulating tumor DNA in urological malignances have been limited and few studies have been reported. Therefore, we tried to evaluate the usefulness of circulating tumor DNA in detection and monitoring of urological malignancies in Korean population. This study aims to use circulating tumor DNA in plasma and urine for the diagnosis, disease progression monitoring and therapeutic response evaluation. This study plan includes building big databases for circulating tumor DNA of urological malignancies in Korean population and to develop optimized circulating tumor DNA platform.
The purpose of this study is to establish the maximum tolerable dose of niraparib when combined with prostate stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), abiraterone, leuprolide, and prednisone (the phase 1 portion of the study) and determine 3-year biochemical PSA recurrence free-survival with this treatment approach (the phase 2 portion of the study).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and short-term oncological efficacy of the NanoKnife Irreversible Electroporation System for localised prostate cancer. Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is the method of focal treatment for prostate cancer, which is already proven by FDA as method of the surgical ablation of soft tissue. It has not received clearance for the therapy or treatment of any specific disease or condition.
Because the diagnostic criteria for prostate cancer are different in the peripheral and the transition zone, prostate segmentation is needed for any computer-aided diagnosis system aimed at characterizing prostate lesions on magnetic resonance (MR) images. Manual segmentation is time consuming and may differ between radiologists with different expertise. We developed and trained a convolutional neural network algorithm for segmenting the whole prostate, the transition zone and the anterior fibromuscular stroma on T2-weighted images of 787 MRIs from an existing prospective radiological pathological correlation database containing prostate MRI of patients treated by prostatectomy between 2008 and 2014 (CLARA-P database). The purpose of this study is to validate this algorithm on an independent cohort of patients.
This is a phase 1 study to determine the feasibility and utility of using serial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to assess treatment response during and after radiation therapy (standard of care cancer treatment) for participants with advanced esophageal cancer, glioblastoma, prostate cancer, vulvar cancer or pediatric glioma. The research study procedures include three MRI scans (one before, one during, and one after standard of care cancer radiation therapy) for participants with advanced esophageal cancer, glioblastoma, prostate cancer, vulvar cancer or pediatric glioma. The research study procedures include: - Screening for eligibility - Three MRI scans
