Filter by:A study to investigate which of two different tablet formulations of ODM-201 is best suited for use in the further development of the compound in the treatment of metastatic chemotherapy-naive castration-resistant prostate cancer. Patients successfully completing the bioavailability study will be able to receive further treatment with the current capsule formulation of ODM-201 until progression of their disease with the safety and tolerability of ODM-201 being assessed throughout.
A prostate cancer diagnosis starts a list of events that often leads to fast-moving treatment, thought by many to result in vast over-treatment of this disease. So, discovery of different diagnostic methods that allow clinicians to identify slow-growing from potentially fast-growing disease prior to or at the time of prostate biopsy could result in early and suitable treatment for men at greatest risk, while greatly decreasing the number of biopsies, surgical procedures, hormonal and chemotherapeutic treatments, cost, and patient worry, for those with more slow-growing disease.
The purpose of this study is to see if a new diagnostic research agent named 89Zr-DFO-MSTP2109A can show prostate cancer tumors on a PET scan; as well as see how long 89Zr-DFO-MSTP2109A lasts in the blood when given in small amounts. DFO-MSTP2109A is an antibody that works against STEAP1 - found on the surface of prostate cancer cells. Attached to the DFO-MSTP2109A is a radioactive material called 89ZR, which allows it to be imaged by a PET scanner. The results of this study may help researchers know whether 89Zr-DFO-MSTP2109A can be used as a diagnostic agent for finding prostate cancer that have STEAP1 on its surface with a PET scanner. The reason why identifying STEAP1 on prostate cancer cells is that new therapies are being developed to target STEAP1 prostate cancer cells.
This retrospective cohort study will assess the association of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) treatment (5-alpha reductase inhibitors (5ARI) and alpha-blocker medications) with the occurrence of prostate cancer related mortality. This study will also assess a number of secondary endpoints including prostate cancer mortality or metastatic prostate cancer, and all cause mortality.
This pilot clinical trial studies magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) fusion image-guided prostate biopsy following radical prostatectomy in patients with prostate cancer. Diagnostic procedures, such as MRI-TRUS fusion image-guided prostate biopsy may help find and diagnose prostate cancer
No treatments have been shown to slow prostate cancer progression after radical prostatectomy. We hypothesize that a carbohydrate restricted diet will slow prostate cancer growth. A total of 60 men with a rising prostate-specific antigen (PSA) after failed primary treatment will be recruited and randomized to either a low-carbohydrate diet (<20 grams carbohydrates/day) or a no-diet control (standard of care) for 6 months. The primary outcome is PSA doubling time.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of 12 weeks systematically training using the Xbox Kinect system. Outcome measures are made on physical function, quality of life, fatigue and metabolic parameters.
Biochemical recurrence develops in approximately 30-40% of men with locally advanced prostate cancer who undergo radical prostatectomy. To date, the effect of statins on prostate cancer recurrence has been investigated in several retrospective studies with inconsistent results. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of statin on biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy for locally advanced prostate cancer.
Vitamin D promotes the differentiation of prostate cancer cells and maintains the differentiated phenotype of prostate epithelial cells. The results of the investigators' clinical studies indicate that vitamin 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D3 (VD3) supplementation results in a decrease of positive cancer cores at repeat biopsy in subjects with low-risk prostate cancer. The investigators hypothesize that Veterans who have early-stage prostate cancer and who take vitamin D3 at 4000 international units per day (intervention group) will show an improvement in the number of positive cores and in Gleason score at repeat biopsy, and a decreased likelihood of undergoing definitive treatment (prostatectomy or radiation therapy), compared to Veteran subjects taking placebo (control group).
The purpose of this study is to investigate safety and efficacy of abiraterone in participants with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and who have not received prior chemotherapy (treatment of disease, usually cancer, by chemical agents).
