Filter by:The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the pharmacodynamic equivalence of triptorelin pamoate (Pamorelin® LA 11.25 mg), applied either IM or SC, in terms of the area under the curve [AUC1-85day] for serum testosterone in patients with advanced prostate cancer.
You are being asked to take part in this study because you have prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. This is an investigational study. Prednisone is FDA-approved and commercially available. Abiraterone acetate is FDA-approved and commercially available, but is still being researched. Sunitinib malate is FDA-approved for the treatment of gastrointestinal tumors and renal cell carcinoma, and dasatinib is FDA approved and commercially available for certain types of leukemia. The use of these drugs in prostate cancer and in combination with abiraterone acetate and prednisone is investigational. Up to 180 patients will be enrolled in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of two different chemotherapy protocols with adjusted doses for patients aged 75 and over who often have medical problems other than prostate cancer. Patient will receive Docetaxel either every 3 weeks or weekly. In both cases, chemotherapy is combined with prednisone. The protocol will be considered feasible when patient will receive 6 cycles of chemotherapy (1 cycle = 3 weeks). Additionally to this primary objective, efficacy will also be evaluated for both protocols as well as tolerance to treatment, quality of life and evolution of geriatric data.
The purpose of this study is to allow patients similar to that evaluated in the TROPIC trial (NCT00417079), and Investigators access to cabazitaxel for the management of metastatic Hormone Refractory Prostate Cancer (mHRPC) in those patients who have progressed during or after docetaxel and to document the overall safety of cabazitaxel in these patients. Please note that in each country, patient recruitment will end when cabazitaxel becomes commercially available.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether BR55 is able to identify areas of VEGFR2 expression in human prostate by ultrasound molecular imaging. This will be compared with histopathology analysis (location based on expression of VEGFR2 in tissue specimens determined by immuno-histochemistry, IHC).
The aim of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of a monthly regimen of ozarelix administered subcutaneously (SC) versus Goserelin depot administered subcutaneously in men with Prostate Cancer. This is an international, multi-center, randomized, open label 84 days study. Men who are at least 18 years of age or older, with histologically proven prostate cancer of all stages, in whom endocrine treatment is indicated will be eligible for study entry.
The purpose of this research study is to determine if the combination of chemotherapy and hormone therapy is safe and helpful for patients who plan to have their high-risk prostate cancer surgically removed. Some physicians believe that patients with high risk cancer that is located in one area, may have an early but small spread of the cancer outside of the prostate, and perhaps even to distant organs. Therefore, better treatments for the entire body are needed to improve the ability of surgery or other local therapies to cure prostate cancer. Since chemotherapy is beginning to demonstrate increasing activity in advanced prostate cancer patients, it is possible that using chemotherapy combined with hormonal therapy earlier in the course of localized but high risk patients might improve the outcomes for these patients.
High Dose Rate (HDR) temporary prostate brachytherapy offers a precise form of dose escalation for prostate cancer. Needles are placed, the position is confirmed and treatment is delivered. Previously High Dose Rate prostate brachytherapy was performed under TransRectal UltraSound (TRUS) guidance but planned with Computed Tomography (CT) imaging which introduced a source of error through needle displacement while transporting and repositioning patient. Recently Varian has introduced a one-step procedure where both implant and planning are based on UltraSound imaging and performed without patient repositioning. This planning system is approved by Health Canada and is commercially available. This study will use High Dose Rate brachytherapy to treat 20 men. Treatment will be planned with TransRectal UltraSound and validated using Computed Tomography imaging.
Researchers in this study will determine whether providing decision support interventions (DESIs) to men with low risk prostate cancer improves their decision-specific knowledge and alters their treatment decisions.
RATIONALE: Metformin hydrochloride may make some enzymes active. These enzymes may block other enzymes needed for cell growth and stop the growth of tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the safety of giving metformin hydrochloride as first-line therapy in treating patients with locally advanced or metastatic prostate cancer.
