Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the safety of MDV3100 given in combination with Docetaxel in men with advanced prostate cancer.
The purpose of the protocol is to describe treatment patterns among patients with prostate cancer prior to diagnosis of castration-resistant state.
Participants will be recruited from the United States and Australia to take an online survey about colon cancer screening or prostate cancer screening. Individuals selected for both the prostate cancer survey and the colon cancer study will be randomized to take one of three survey types - balance sheet, rating and ranking or conjoint analysis. These surveys will help participants clarify their values and opinions about screening options for colon cancer or prostate cancer. Participants' responses to the online survey are measured at one point in time - the time at which the participant takes the survey.
Prostate cancer patients diagnosed with a biochemical recurrence and limited metastases are conventionally treated with androgen deprivation therapy. However, in patients with limited metastatic load, the time to progression might be. Subsequently, active surveillance of these patients until progression might defer the start of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for several months to years. As an alternative, salvage treatment of the limited number of metastases with either surgery or radiotherapy might postpone the start of ADT even longer. The current trial hypothesizes that ADT might be deferred longer following salvage treatment as compared to active surveillance.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether MRI guided prostate biopsy achieves higher prostate cancer detection rates compared with transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy in patients with increased PSA values > 4.0 ng/ml.
Background: - Advanced prostate cancer is treated with surgery or drugs that lower the levels of androgens (male hormones) in the body. However, some cancers become resistant to this treatment. These types of cancers are known as castration-resistant prostate cancers. - Interfering with the growth of blood vessels that feed tumors can slow prostate cancer growth. Trebananib (AMG 386), a new anticancer drug, targets the blood vessels that feed tumors. It has been tested for different types of cancer, but not for prostate cancer. Researchers want to see if AMG 386 can slow disease progression in men with castration-resistant prostate cancer. AMG 386 will be given with abiraterone and prednisone, two drugs that are also used to treat advanced prostate cancer. Objectives: - To test the safety and effectiveness of AMG 386 with abiraterone for castration-resistant prostate cancer. Eligibility: - Men at least 18 years of age with castration-resistant prostate cancer. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam, medical history, and imaging studies. Blood and urine samples will also be collected. - Participants will be separated into two groups. - The first group will have AMG 386 once per week for a total of four doses during a 28-day cycle. They will also take abiraterone once a day and prednisone twice a day, every day of the cycle. - The second group will not have AMG 386. They will take abiraterone once a day and prednisone twice a day, every day of the 28-day cycle. - Treatment will be monitored with frequent blood tests and imaging studies. - Participants will continue to take the study drugs as long as the disease does not progress and there are no severe side effects.
The purpose of our study is to image human prostate tissue using a transrectal photoacoustic imaging probe.
The purpose of this phase 2, open-label, single-arm, multidose, multicenter study is to investigate the effects of Orteronel plus Prednisone on the QT/QTc interval in patients with Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostrate Cancer
The aim of this study was to investigate whether robot assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy give rise to the impairment of diaphragmatic function postoperatively, and whether combined general/epidural anesthesia could provide better postoperative diaphragmatic function.
The purpose of this study is to determine if enzalutamide is an effective therapy in treating localized prostate cancer prior to prostatectomy.
