Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine if Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET) scans used in this study accurate and better at imaging participants' prostate cancer than the usual methods.
The purpose of this study is to determine what the safest dose of talazoparib plus temozolomide for participants with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer. The purpose of Phase II is to test the efficacy (effectiveness) of talazoparib and temozolomide at the maximum tolerated dose, which was determined to be 1mg talazoparib and 75mg/m² temozolomide in the Phase Ib portion of this study.
Radioligand therapy (RLT) using Lu-177 labelled PSMA is a promising new therapeutic approach to treat metastatic prostate cancer. This tumor-specific treatment is directed against prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), which is overexpressed in prostate cancer cells. In the last few years, several lutetium-177 (177Lu, β emitter) labeled PSMA ligands have been developed and are currently applied to treat metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients. However, there are no prospective studies published so far using this treatment approach in hormone sensitive setting. In this pilot study patients with hormone sensitive prostate cancer who did not undergo hormonal treatment will be treated with Lu-177 PSMA-617.
Stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) has been employed in the treatment of prostate cancer. Multiple single institution experiences suggest high biochemical control rates with acceptable toxicity in low risk prostate cancer but efficacy data in unfavorable type prostate cancer is less convincing. CyberKnife-SBRT (CK-SBRT) can be used to escalate radiation dose delivery to the prostate while sparing normal tissue.
With the general acceptance of MRI and technical advances in biopsy technique of the prostate, new questions arise concerning the selection of patients, the approach, the appropriate technique, the lesions to target and the number of biopsies. The purpose of this study is to address these issues in men suspicious of having prostate cancer and without prior biopsies.
Participants will be recruited from the community and attend a screening clinic and undergo the following screening tests: 1. Bi-parametric MRI - reported by a radiologist and CAD-AI system 2. Multiparametric ultrasound - including shearwave elastography 3. A standard-of-care PSA test A systematic +/- targeted biopsy will be performed if any tests are positive, independent of the other tests.
This randomized controlled trial aims to assess the detection rate of clinically significant and clinically insignificant cancer of mpMRI-targeted biopsy compared to transperineal standard biopsy in men with clinical suspicion of prostate cancer who had no prior prostate biopsy.
Background: Immunotherapy drugs help the body to fight cancer. Scientists think that combining some of these drugs will make them work better than when used alone. This may be true for many types of cancer, including castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Objective: To test if the combination of the drugs BN-brachyury, M7824, N-803, and Epacadostat is safe and shrinks tumors. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with CRPC or another metastatic cancer Design: Participants will be screened with: - Medical history - Physical exam - CT or MRI scans - Possible bone imaging - Blood, urine, and heart tests - Possible tumor biopsy Participants will be treated with a 2-, 3- or 4-drug combinations of the following study drugs in 2-week cycles: - Participants will receive M7824 by IV once every 2 weeks. - Participants will receive N-803 by injection once every 2 weeks. They will record any skin changes at the injection site in a diary. - Participants will receive BN-brachyury as 4 injections to different limbs. They will get the first 3 doses 2 weeks apart. Then they will get doses every 4 weeks for 6 months, then every 3 months for 2 years, then every 6 months. - Participants will take Epacadostat orally every 12 hours. They will keep a pill diary. Participants will have physical exams and blood and urine tests at the start of each cycle. They may have scans every 12 weeks. Participants will continue treatment until their disease gets worse or they cannot tolerate the side effects. Participants will have a follow-up visit 4-5 weeks after they stop treatment. They will have a physical exam and blood tests. They may be asked to return for scans every 3 months.
Objectives The primary objective is to demonstrate that in patients undergoing major urologic surgery, Patient Controlled Analgesia (PCA) opioid consumption in the first 24 hours after surgery will be significantly less in patients who have had a single shot rectus sheath block pre-operatively in addition to a post-operative rectus sheath continuous block via surgically placed catheter versus those who only have post-operative rectus sheath continuous block. Secondary outcomes will be opioid requirement intra-operatively, Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) pain scores including maximum pain score in Post Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) and score at 24 and 48 hours, incidence and severity of nausea, number of vomiting episodes, sedation score, time to first bowel movement, time to first mobilization and duration of hospital stay.
Prostate cancer (PC) is the most common malignancy (4500 new cases/year) and the second leading cause of cancer-associated mortality (1200 deaths/year) among men in Denmark. PC is generally diagnosed on the basis of an elevated prostate specific antigen blood test followed by transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy. This study aims to test early detection of PC in general practice, using the STHLM3 model with superior specificity and sensitivity for clinically significant PC, combined with multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) of the prostate and MR guided biopsy.
