Filter by:RATIONALE: Metformin hydrochloride may make some enzymes active. These enzymes may block other enzymes needed for cell growth and stop the growth of tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the safety of giving metformin hydrochloride as first-line therapy in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic prostate cancer.
This is a research study for advanced prostate cancer. An experimental drug called AN-152 (also known as AEZS-108) will be used. The purpose of this study is to test the safety, tolerability and benefits of an experimental drug called AN-152. The participants tumor will be tested for expression of this receptor (using an old biopsy). If the participants cancer does not have this receptor, participants will not be eligible to participant in this study. AN-152 (AEZS-108) is administered intravenously (IV) over 2 hours and will be given at the specified dose every 3 weeks. Premedication with dexamethasone 8mg is recommended. Participants will continue treatment until death, disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, participants refusal, treatment delay >3 weeks, or the completion of 6 cycles. Continuation beyond 6 cycles is left at the discretion of the study doctor. The study is planned to last 2 years. Up to 55 (up to 18 for the Phase I portion, up to 37 for the Phase II portion).
RATIONALE: Eating a diet high in vegetables may slow down disease progression in patients with prostate cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well diet works in altering disease progression in patients with prostate cancer on active surveillance.
This study is a large observational study, set-up to observe how long-term treatment with FIRMAGON (hormone regulator) compare to other treatments in regards to cardiovascular events, changes in bone density, changes in blood sugar levels or liver enzyme levels in subjects with prostate cancer. Subjects will be treated according to their routine clinical care and not dictated by the study. As the study is observational in nature, the study will collect data relating to the events specified above. Subjects that agree to this study will be followed-up for 5 years. Subject data will be collected every 3 months for the first 2 years and every 6 months for the last 3 years.
This is a Phase 3 randomized, double blind, placebo controlled study of tasquinimod in asymptomatic to mildly symptomatic patients with metastatic CRPC to confirm the effect of tasquinimod on delaying disease progression compared with placebo. Approximately 1200 eligible patients with metastatic CRPC will be randomly assigned in a 2:1 ratio to 1 of 2 treatment groups: Treatment Group A (tasquinimod 0.25, 0.5, or 1 mg/day; n=800) or Treatment Group B (placebo; n=400).
Suppression of effects of androgens with male sex hormones, androgen suppression treatment (AST), has been known to reduce deaths and prolong life in advanced prostate cancer. There have, however, been concerns raised in previous studies that androgen suppression may be associated with increased rate of heart attacks, particularly in older men. This study looks at prostate cancer patients in The Ottawa Hospital Cancer Clinic to see if treating these patients with androgen suppression is associated with a decrease in blood flow to the heart muscles by using Positron Emission Tomography (PET) and brachial artery ultrasound.
Current imaging options do not assess prostate cancer well. This study will combine two magnetic resonance imaging modalities, MRI and MRSI, in order to determine the utility to physicians and patients with prostate cancer in making treatment decisions and seeing how well various types of treatment work. Hyperpolarized pyruvate (13C) is an investigational product that may enhance the imaging capability of MRI and MRSI. Hyperpolarized pyruvate will be injected into the body to determine how it is metabolized and how it's metabolism can be assessed using MR imaging. The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and metabolism of hyperpolarized pyruvate in humans, and how this can be used to increase the effectiveness of MR imaging with regards to patient care.
RATIONALE: Atorvastatin calcium and celecoxib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving atorvastatin calcium together with celecoxib may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving atorvastatin calcium together with celecoxib works in treating patients with rising PSA levels after local therapy for prostate cancer.
A phase III trial investigating the efficacy and safety of degarelix one-month depot in Taiwanese patients with prostate cancer.
Patients eligible for hormone ablation therapy who are prescribed Firmagon will be followed for a maximum of 3 years to estimate the progression free survival. Data on testosteron levels, QoL and LUTS will be collected if this information is available. Safety information (adverse events) will be collected.
