Filter by:The purpose of this study is to collect follow-up safety data from participants in completed abiraterone acetate studies for a maximum duration of 9 years.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate a newer imaging technique, called 18F-Sodium Fluoride (NaF) positron emission tomography (PET). NaF is a tracer (dye) that is very sensitive for changes in bone. By using this tracer with positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging, our ability to evaluate and measure changes in bone lesions could be greatly improved.
1. Does a one-page American College of Physicians educational flyer about the pros and cons of prostate cancer screening sent to men within two weeks of their scheduled annual health examinations in a general medicine clinic result in a different rate of prostate cancer screening than among men who were not sent the flyer? 2. Do patients find the flyer useful and understandable? Context: The use of prostate specific antigen (PSA) screening for prostate cancer is controversial because of a lack of evidence that such screening saves lives when applied within a population and because such testing can lead to invasive downstream biopsies and aggressive treatment that is associated with a high risk of permanent side effects (e.g. impotence, incontinence). Almost all professional societies (American Cancer Society, American Urologic Association, American College of Physicians, United States Preventive Services Task Force) advocate that patients receive education and complete an informed decision-making discussion with their medical providers about the pros and cons of the PSA test, as well as their personal preferences, before proceeding with this test. Unfortunately, despite these recommendations, there is seldom sufficient time during clinic visits to achieve this goal.
The standard of care for men with metastatic CRPC in 2010 following progression on docetaxel is cabazitaxel or abiraterone acetate/prednisone. Based on results from two other studies, cabazitaxel and prednisone has become a standard second line chemotherapy regimen and becomes the backbone upon which to improve upon. Thus, the primary objective of this study is to determine the recommended dose of tasquinimod in combination with cabazitaxel and prednisone based on safety and tolerability in men with chemorefractory metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate efficacy and safety of ELIGARD 22.5mg in the treatment of subjects with prostate cancer.
Primary Objectives: - To determine the maximum tolerated dose, and dose limiting toxicities of cabazitaxel administered as a 1-hour infusion every 3 weeks in combination with oral daily abiraterone acetate and prednisone in participants with metastatic Castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) - To estimate the anti-tumor activity of cabazitaxel in combination with abiraterone acetate and prednisone in terms of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response rate. Secondary Objectives: - To characterize the safety profile of the combination - To evaluate the pharmacokinetic profile of cabazitaxel and abiraterone in the proposed combination and dosing schedule - To assess preliminary antitumor activity of the combination in terms of progression-free survival, PSA progression free survival and objective response rate, and overall survival
This partially randomized phase I/II trial studies cabazitaxel with or without carboplatin in treating patients with previously treated prostate cancer that has spread to other areas of the body and does not respond to treatment with hormones. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cabazitaxel and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known whether giving cabazitaxel alone or with carboplatin is more effective in treating prostate cancer.
This phase II trial studies how well abiraterone acetate works in treating patients with hormone-resistant prostate cancer that has spread from the primary site (place where it started) to other places in the body (metastatic). Abiraterone acetate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

The objective of this multi-center prospective observational clinical study is to evaluate the clinical performance of the Carisome Prostate assay as an aid in the diagnosis of prostate cancer in men that have been scheduled for a prostate biopsy. Primarily, results of the Carisome Prostate assay will be compared with pathology results of prostate biopsy procedures. Secondarily, the performance of the Carisome Prostate test will be compared to the current standard of care for the detection of prostate cancer.
