View clinical trials related to Prostate Cancer.
Filter by:Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and radical prostatectomy is the most frequent treatment for this disease. Unfortunately, approximately 40% of patients will develop recurrence after surgery, requiring additional salvage radiation. Salvage radiation after recurrence is successful in less than half of these men and most of those die from their disease. Measures to prevent recurrence are an important research priority for prostate cancer patients and their families. Hormonal therapy (androgen deprivation therapy; ADT) is routinely used to treat patients with metastases, but few clinical trials have examined if adjuvant ADT after surgery will prevent cancer recurrence. We aim to address this research oversight and test the hypothesis that for men at high risk of cancer recurrence, 1 year of ADT immediately after surgery will be safe and will significantly improve cancer outcomes.
This is a single-center, single-arm, prospective study to assess the efficacy and safety of Olaparib combined with Abiraterone plus Prednisone in subjects with metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) who carry deleterious germline or homologous recombination repair (HRR) mutations. Olaparib is an oral, highly selective poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor that potently inhibits the activity of deoxyribonucleic acid repair polymerases. Abiraterone acetate (AA) is a prodrug of abiraterone that potently inhibits cytochrome P450c17, a key enzyme in androgen biosynthesis. A total of 30 mHSPC subjects with HRR gene mutations that meet the criteria will be included in the study. Eligible subjects will receive oral Olaparib tablets 300 mg BID, combined with Abiraterone acetate 1000 mg QD plus Prednisone 5 mg, and the study will end when the primary endpoint radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) data maturity reaches 60%. During the treatment and follow-up periods, all subjects will have regular visits to assess the efficacy and safety of Olaparib in combination with abiraterone acetate plus prednisone. Radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS), prostate-specific antigen response (PSA response rate), prostate-specific antigen progression-free survival (PSA-PFS), radiological objective response rate (ORR) and other indicators will be assessed and calculated.
Rationale: Transperineal laser ablation (TPLA) treatment for prostate cancer (PCa) is a minimal invasive focal therapy technique studied worldwide to determine its efficacy. In pilot studies it has shown to be a safe and feasible technique and it has potential to preserve continence and potency over current standard radical therapies. However, (long-term) treatment outcomes of TPLA for PCa remain largely unknown. The aim of this international retrospective registry is to collect and combine data on patients treated TPLA for PCa in order to provide data on safety, feasibility, functional and oncological outcomes. Objective: To assess safety and feasibility of TPLA for PCa, to assess functional and oncological outcomes of TPLA for PCa and to determine baseline patient characteristics in a multicentre cohort. Study design: This is an international, retrospective observational registry in which data is recorded of patients who have been treated with TPLA for PCa. Study population: Male patients treated with TPLA for PCa. Main study parameters/endpoints: The primary endpoint of this registry is oncological outcomes of TPLA for PCa. Secondary endpoints are safety, feasibility and functional outcomes of TPLA for PCa.
The primary purpose of this study is to compare three interventions, two experimental and one standard of care (usual care), to see if the experimental interventions will increase the likelihood of a participant obtaining guideline-concordant genetic testing. Eligible participants will be randomized (assigned) to one of the following interventions: 1) Virtual genetics navigator, a mobile-optimized website, designed by the investigators, that delivers tailored messages and content; 2) two motivational interviewing (MI) telephone calls delivered by trained genetics health coaches; or 3) usual care.
PSMA-PET/CT response measurements after LHRH agonist and upfront therapy in men diagnosed with de novo metastasized hormonal sensitive prostate cancer.
The purpose of this research study is to test new ways to improve the usefulness of the world's first total-body positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scanner (EXPLORER) by collecting data from PET scans using one of three different imaging agents: 18F-PSMA; 18F-FES; or, 68Ga DOTATATE. These imaging agents are approved by the FDA to be used for patients diagnosed with prostate cancer (18F-PSMA), neuroendocrine tumor (68Ga DOTATATE), or breast cancer (18F-FES).
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men. Those in the intermediate/high-risk categories typically receive androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and radiotherapy. ADT greatly reduces androgen production as prostate cancer is dependent on testosterone and dihydrotestosterone for its growth.The side effects of ADT therapy are extensive and include changes in body composition (muscle loss, bone loss and fat gain), strength, mood, physical function, sexual function and increased cardiovascular risk and fatigue. Many of these side effects can be influenced by exercise training, both resistance training and aerobic training. However, the most appropriate exercise regime for men undergoing ADT has received little research attention.
Microstyle study aims to evaluate the effect of a 6-month intervention in a group of prostate cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy. Intervention is designed to control side effects and to improve adherence to a healthy lifestyle (diet and increase level of physical activity and decreased sedentary time) measured by the change in adherence to a healthy lifestyle score. The impact of the intervention on toxicity and gastrointestinal symptomatology will be measured by a mediation framework analysis. This approach allows investigating how microbiome may mediate effect of treatment. It will be also assessed the change in microbiome in relation to the change in cytokines/ adipokines in association with early and late toxicity.
This is a prospective, randomized controlled trial to compare cancer control and health-related quality of life following pelvic fascia-sparing radical prostatectomy versus standard radical prostatectomy. The investigators hypothesize that pelvic fascia-sparing radical prostatectomy will have similar cancer control (primary outcome) and sexual function outcomes; and significantly better urinary function, penile shortening/deformity and inguinal hernia risks as compared to radical prostatectomy.
This clinical trial will evaluate PSMA PET additive value for significant prostate cancer (sPCa) diagnosis in men with negative/equivocal MRI
