Filter by:This phase III trial investigates if perflutren lipid microspheres with ultrasound can be used to diagnose prostate cancer non-invasively. Definity (perflutren lipid microspheres) is an ultrasound contrast agent that is typically used for ultrasound bubble studies that involve the heart. Definity appears on ultrasound images as tiny gas-filled microbubbles. These microbubbles are about the size of a red blood cell and do not stay in a patient's body for more than several minutes, where they are excreted from the lungs and exhaled back into the air when breathing. Definity may enhance ultrasound images of the prostate and help doctors identify prostate cancer on ultrasound images.
This is a multi-center, single-arm, prospective study to assess the efficacy and safety of Olaparib in men with newly diagnosed metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who carried homologous recombination repair (HRR) gene mutations and have progressed after treatment with novel endocrine agents (NHA) in the metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer or non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. A total of 30 newly diagnosed mCRPC subjects with radiologically evaluable disease at baseline who have progressed on prior NHA and carry HRR gene mutations that meet the criteria will be included in the study. Eligible subjects will receive a treatment regimen of oral Olaparib tablets 300 mg twice daily until disease progression or intolerance. During the treatment and follow-up periods, all subjects will have regular visits to assess the efficacy and safety of Olaparib. Data on objective radiographic response (ORR), prostate-specific antigen response (PSA response), radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS), and time to prostate-specific antigen progression (TTPP) will be collected during the study.
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.
This early phase I trial studies how well an image-guided prostate biopsy using the imaging agent 68Ga-prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-11 with a positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) scan works in diagnosing prostate cancer in men with a prior negative or inconclusive prostate biopsy. PSMA is a protein that is found on the surface of prostate cancer cells. 68Ga-PSMA-11 is made up of a substance that binds to PSMA on tumor cells, linked with a radioactive substance that can then be seen on imaging scans such as PET/CT. 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT-guided biopsy may help improve the detection rate of prostate cancer. This may help reduce over-diagnosis and over-treatment in men with low-risk prostate cancer and under-treatment in men with high-risk prostate cancer.
This phase II trial investigates the effect of massage in decreasing prostate cancer-related fatigue. Massage therapy has well known health benefits. This trial aims to find out if massage and touch therapies reduce fatigue due to cancer, and to learn if these therapies are better than traditional medicine or psychology for cancer related fatigue.
This clinical trial studies examines a 3D magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compared to standard MRI imaging techniques in screening patients with prostate cancer. Diagnostic procedures, such as MRI, may help find and diagnose prostate cancer. Computer systems that allow doctors to create a 3-dimensional (3-D) picture of the tumor may help in planning.
This trial studies the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with Dixon based imaging sequences in detecting prostate cancer. MRI uses radio waves and a powerful magnet linked to a computer to create detailed pictures of areas inside the body. Researchers hope to learn if using a modified MRI scan technique with Dixon based imaging sequencing will help to produce better images of prostate cancer than the standard of care MRI scan technique.
This trial studies how well a peer-based health education program works in reducing barriers and changing attitudes and beliefs of prostate cancer genetic screening in African American participants with or without a previous personal or family history of prostate cancer. Participating in a peer-based health educational program may help participants learn more about prostate cancer and how their personal or family history of disease may increase their risk of prostate cancer.
Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) agents have shown promise in detecting and treating prostate cancer. Gallium-68-labeled PSMA-11 (68Ga-PSMA-11) is a radioactive agent that binds to prostate cancer cells and can be imaged using positron emission tomography (PET) scanners that detect radioactivity in the body. This early phase I study will use PET to determine if delivering 68Ga-PSMA-11 directly into the prostatic artery (intra-arterial (IA) administration) results in greater uptake in the prostate than delivering 68Ga-PSMA-11 into a vein in the arm (intravenous (IV) administration).
This research trial studies how well biospecimen collection works in identifying genetic changes in patients with breast, prostate, colorectal, liver, or kidney cancer or multiple myeloma undergoing surgery. Studying samples collected during surgery may add to the understanding of cancer by looking for the genetic changes that cause early cancer onset in people of certain racial and ethnic groups.
