Filter by:This is a Phase I, non-randomized, dose escalation study of the safety, biomarkers, and preliminary efficacy of dendritic cell vaccine, BPX-201, plus activating agent, AP1903, in patients with metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer.
This single-center, randomized, double-blind trial assesses the impact of short-term atorvastatin administration on proliferation activity, apoptotic rate and histological inflammation in prostate tissue.
Placement of an autologous retropubic urethral sling at the time of robot assisted radical prostatectomy will improve the recovery of continence after radical prostatectomy
Objectives I. Compare, in a randomized Phase III multi-institutional setting, symptom-free survival time of patients with asymptomatic carcinoma of the prostate (T0-4, N0-2, M0) not suited for local curative treatment who are randomly assigned to immediate vs. delayed endocrine intervention (orchiectomy or luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist therapy). II. Compare the overall survival of these two groups of patients. III. Compare the time to first evidence of distant progression (N4 or M1) of these two treatment groups. IV. Evaluate the prognostic significance of pretreatment laboratory data and monitor these parameters following endocrine therapy. V. Study the prognosis of various sub-groups of patients stratified according to performance status, local tumor extent, nodal status, and choice of endocrine treatment.
In this i-SABR (immunotherapy + Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiation) trial, the stereotactic radiation to multiple metastatic sites is delivered not only to eradicate sites of bulky progressive disease, but also to provide antigen presentation and immune stimulation which is expected to act synergistically to the concurrently administered immunotherapy Sipuleucel-T and thereby significantly improve the treatment outcome for metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer patients (mCRPC). Both Sipuleucel-T and SABR are FDA approved therapeutic cancer treatment
This research is being done to see if an investigational radioactive drug called 18F-DCFBC can help us find cancer that has spread (metastatic disease) from its original site in people who have cancer in their prostate to other parts of their body.
The purpose of this study is to continue follow-up on patients who were treated on the study called TAX 3505 (MSK IRB #07-101). The sponsor of this study, has decided to end the study early, before all patients have completed all planned follow-up tests. As a result, the investigators do not yet know whether hormonal therapy alone, or in combination with docetaxel, is better at preventing prostate cancer recurrence in patients who had a rising PSA after prostatectomy. This study will continue following patients according to a schedule that is similar to that found in the TAX 3503 (MSK IRB #07-101) study in order to answer that question. This study is known as a registry study. The patients' will not receive any treatment as part of this study. Instead, they will be asked to have a blood test performed once every 12 weeks.
Patients with prostate cancer should have the following examination including biopsy, serum PSA volume, prostate CT scan or MRI, bone scan, abdomen ultrasound, chest X ray, blood biochemistry, blood rout, ECG and testosterone. Two groups: First group:30 cases should be treated with iodine 125 seed implants 0.5 mc transperineal prostate implant +Zoladex 3.6mg im 1/28d (LHRH agonist, 3.6mg subcutaneous injection 1/4weeks). Second group: 30 cases should be treated with Zoladex 3.6mg im 1/28d (LHRH agonist, 3.6mg subcutaneous injection 1/4weeks). PFS and PSA level will be the primary variables.
Prostate cancer is currently the second most common cause of cancer death in men in Western countries. Lymphadenectomy is the gold standard procedure for staging pelvic lymph node and is classically indicated in intermediate and high risk prostate cancer patients and is held at the same time of prostatectomy. A traditionally pelvic lymphadenectomy covers the obturator chain bilaterally. Recently, some studies have demonstrated the existence of lymph node involvement outside the traditional boundaries of classical lymphadenectomy, recommending therefore extended dissection; this also includes the external / internal / common iliac chains and presacral. Thus lymphadenectomy, according to these authors, would also has a therapeutic role, besides helping in better staging. Although some retrospective studies report an association between lymphadenectomy and tumor progression, the exact impact of extended lymphadenectomy in oncological outcome of patients with prostate cancer is not clearly established, mainly by lack of prospective randomized studies on the subject . The study objectives are to compare the oncologic results of extended lymphadenectomy versus limited in order to elucidate the role of extended dissection in lymph node staging and results of treatment in terms of increased tumor cure. The investigators also intend to identify patients who may benefit from oncologically extended procedure. To do this, the investigators will evaluate prospectively patients diagnosed with prostate cancer at intermediate or high risk indicating lymphadenectomy and radical prostatectomy. These patients will be randomized to the extended versus limited lymphadenectomy and the investigators will compare the lymph node metastasis and pattern of spread of prostate cancer, as well as biochemical relapse-free survival, freedom from progression to metastasis and cancer-specific survival.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety BIND-014 in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
