Filter by:The purpose of this study is to see if a new diagnostic research agent named 89Zr-DFO-MSTP2109A can show prostate cancer tumors on a PET scan; as well as see how long 89Zr-DFO-MSTP2109A lasts in the blood when given in small amounts. DFO-MSTP2109A is an antibody that works against STEAP1 - found on the surface of prostate cancer cells. Attached to the DFO-MSTP2109A is a radioactive material called 89ZR, which allows it to be imaged by a PET scanner. The results of this study may help researchers know whether 89Zr-DFO-MSTP2109A can be used as a diagnostic agent for finding prostate cancer that have STEAP1 on its surface with a PET scanner. The reason why identifying STEAP1 on prostate cancer cells is that new therapies are being developed to target STEAP1 prostate cancer cells.
This pilot clinical trial studies magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) fusion image-guided prostate biopsy following radical prostatectomy in patients with prostate cancer. Diagnostic procedures, such as MRI-TRUS fusion image-guided prostate biopsy may help find and diagnose prostate cancer
No treatments have been shown to slow prostate cancer progression after radical prostatectomy. We hypothesize that a carbohydrate restricted diet will slow prostate cancer growth. A total of 60 men with a rising prostate-specific antigen (PSA) after failed primary treatment will be recruited and randomized to either a low-carbohydrate diet (<20 grams carbohydrates/day) or a no-diet control (standard of care) for 6 months. The primary outcome is PSA doubling time.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of 12 weeks systematically training using the Xbox Kinect system. Outcome measures are made on physical function, quality of life, fatigue and metabolic parameters.
Vitamin D promotes the differentiation of prostate cancer cells and maintains the differentiated phenotype of prostate epithelial cells. The results of the investigators' clinical studies indicate that vitamin 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 (VD3) supplementation results in a decrease of positive cancer cores at repeat biopsy in subjects with low-risk prostate cancer. The investigators hypothesize that Veterans who have early-stage prostate cancer and who take vitamin D3 at 4000 international units per day (intervention group) will show an improvement in the number of positive cores and in Gleason score at repeat biopsy, and a decreased likelihood of undergoing definitive treatment (prostatectomy or radiation therapy), compared to Veteran subjects taking placebo (control group).
The purpose of this study is to investigate safety and efficacy of abiraterone in participants with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and who have not received prior chemotherapy (treatment of disease, usually cancer, by chemical agents).
The purpose of this study is to assess the benefit of immediate hormonal treatment after Radical Prostatectomy in Chinese and Russian patients with high risk prostate cancer. To reach this target, the trial will compare a group of patients treated with triptorelin at 8 weeks after the surgery and for a duration of 9 months (3 injections) versus another group (called "active surveillance group") who will be not receiving triptorelin. Both groups will be followed every 3 months to monitor any sign of disease progression during a minimum of 36 months
In this study, the investigators aim to determine if the Vienna nomogram increases the detection rate of TRUS-guided prostate biopsies by conducting a prospective randomized study comparing the Vienna nomogram with a 10-core biopsy protocol.
This research study will access the using of a radiotracer, 18F-choline PET/CT and MRI for prostate cancer in patients undergoing diagnostic prostate biopsy. Patients receive MRI guided prostate biopsies and metabolomic profiling of prostate biopsy tissues.
In April 2011, the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the oral drug abiraterone acetate (Zytiga ®) in combination with prednisone (a steroid) to treat patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who have received prior docetaxel (chemotherapy). In December 2012, the FDA approved Zytiga ® in combination with prednisone to treat patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer who have not received prior chemotherapy. Degarelix (Firmagon ®), a testosterone lowering agent given as a monthly injection, is FDA approved for the treatment of patients with advanced prostate cancer. The purpose of this study is to evaluate abiraterone acetate and prednisone in combination with degarelix as a possible treatment for PSA recurrent prostate cancer as compared to abiraterone acetate alone and degarelix alone. This will be the first time these drugs will be used together.
