Filter by:This is an open label study of abiraterone acetate in combination with BEZ235 and abiraterone acetate in combination with BKM120 in CRPC patients with abiraterone acetate failure.
The ultrasound-guided biopsies of the prostate is the validated technique for the diagnosis of prostate cancer, the first human cancer and second leading cause of cancer death. Overall, in more than half of cases, prostate biopsies performed in search of a prostate cancer are negative. In this population, there is no consensus recommendation on how to care, leading to repeated invasive biopsies, potential sources of complications. The PCA3 urine test (ProgensaTM, GenProbe) is an innovative diagnostic tool to predict the positivity of prostate biopsies, especially in patients who had at least one negative biopsy. Proposed in clinical practice in France as a commercial kit, it is expensive and is not covered by health insurance. It is therefore essential to assess the medical and economic impact of its introduction into medical practice. The investigators propose to set up a study of high standard of proof, multicenter, based on recruitment of patients treated in hospitals. This working hypothesis is that the availability of the PCA3 test results would reduce the number of invasive biopsies performed incorrectly in patients already had at least one negative biopsy, thus improving the diagnostic strategy of prostate cancer.
The goal of this clinical research study is learn if adding cabozantinib (also known as XL184) to hormonal therapy can help to control prostate cancer. The safety of this drug will also be studied. Cabozantinib is designed to block certain proteins in your blood that cause cancer cells to grow. This may cause cancer cells to die.
Docetaxel is used as a first line anti-cancer drug in the treatment of several cancers, mainly breast- and metastatic castration-resistant prostate carcinoma. Anti-cancer drugs are being dosed based on patients estimated Body Surface Area in order to equalize total drug exposure. Nevertheless, docetaxel treatment is characterized by highly interindividual pharmacokinetic variation leading to toxicity and under-treatment. The investigators will determine which anthropometric parameters, LBM, total body weight (TBW) or BSA correlate best to docetaxel exposure (AUC) for both males and females.
Prostate cancer is the most common non-cutaneous cancer in men. Patients with recurrent or metastatic prostate cancer are treated with androgen-deprivation therapy, often termed castration therapy. While the short and medium term benefits of castration are clear in relation to therapeutic efficacy in patients with prostate cancer, it is now appreciated that the resulting hypogonadism associated with castration is responsible for adverse consequences or metabolic syndrome that include increase in body mass index (BMI) and fat mass, hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, reduced lean body mass (LBM) and muscle strength, osteoporosis, sexual dysfunction, poor quality of life and higher cardiovascular mortality. Lower testosterone levels in men independently predict the development of metabolic syndrome. Low testosterone levels in men are associated with insulin resistance and diabetes. Metformin is commonly prescribed for the treatment of type II diabetes because it lowers both glucose and insulin levels. Studies show preliminary evidence that metformin might have both antineoplastic and chemopreventative activity. Castration therapy decreases insulin sensitivity, adversely alters lipid profiles and results in weight gain, and it may be associated with a greater incidence of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Little is known about the optimal strategy to mitigate the adverse metabolic effects of castration in men with prostate cancer. The rationale for using metformin in castrated men with advanced prostate cancer stems from the observation that castration therapy is associated with the metabolic syndrome, hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance. Furthermore, reports that hyperinsulinemia stimulates insulin receptor expression on prostate cancer leading to tumor growth and development of castrate resistant prostate cancer suggest metformin through its activation of the AMPK-LKBI pathway reduces liver gluconeogenesis secondarily decreasing insulin levels may circumvent tumor growth and resistance to castration therapy. More importantly, evidence that metformin inhibits the mTOR pathway implicates an added therapeutic benefit as an anti-cancer agent.
This study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a single injection of NX-1207 for the treatment of biopsy-confirmed low risk localized (T1c) prostate cancer in patients currently undergoing active surveillance. Study participants currently on active surveillance will be randomized either to treatment with a single intraprostatic injection of NX-1207 (2.5 mg or 15 mg) followed by active surveillance or to no treatment (continued active surveillance). Blinded efficacy evaluation will be by a second post-treatment prostate biopsy.
The purpose of this study is to find out if giving Reolysin in combination with docetaxel and prednisone can offer better results than standard therapy with docetaxel and prednisone.
This study is a prospective, interventional, open-label, multi-center early access program for the use of Ra-223 Cl2 in HRPC/CRPC (Hormone refractory prostate cancer / Castrate resistant prostate cancer) patients diagnosed with bone metastasis and to collect additional short and long term safety data on the product.
This is a single arm, open label study of up to 24 prostate cancer patients scheduled for prostatectomy and/or pelvic lymph node dissection. Patients receive a single IV dose of 99mTc-MIP-1404 (study drug) followed by SPECT/CT scan 3-6 hours after injection. As standard of care, patients will undergo prostatectomy and/or pelvic lymph node dissection (PLND) within two weeks of study drug dosing. 99mTc-MIP-1404 image data will be evaluated for visible uptake and compared with histopathology.
Protocol G200712 is a Phase II, exploratory study to assess the effects of GTx-758 on serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) response ans serum PSA progression in men with Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) on Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists, LHRH antagonists, or orchidectomy. This study will also assess the venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk of lower doses of GTx-758.
