Filter by:In this Phase I study safety of the combination of Docetaxel and Temsirolimus needs to be shown before the study can be expanded into a Phase II study to examine the activity of a safe combination of Temsirolimus and Docetaxel in a comparison with Docetaxel alone.
The primary goal for this trial is to assess the change in PET scans with the administration of zoledronate (bisphosphonate) therapy in patients with metastatic prostate cancer. It has been established that zoledronate therapy may play a role in delaying and reducing the incidence of skeletal events. Researchers propose to evaluate the change in the uptake value of FMAU PET scan after the zoledronate therapy. It has been demonstrated that FMAU PET scans can successfully demonstrate and detect bony metastatic sites in prostate cancer. In addition, investigators would like to evaluate the change in the level of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in the patient as well as outcome of bone scans.
This is a study evaluating the safety and efficacy of the monoclonal antibody olaratumab plus mitoxantrone plus prednisone compared to mitoxantrone plus prednisone in metastatic castration-refractory prostate cancer following disease progression or intolerance on docetaxel-based chemotherapy.
This is a phase II, open label, single center study to evaluate the efficacy of abiraterone acetate (CB7630) administered to patients with castrate resistant prostate cancer who have experienced disease progression on ketoconazole. It is hypothesized that abiraterone will be active in patients who have experienced disease progression on ketoconazole
Adherence (or compliance with) a medication regimen is generally defined as the extent to which patients take medication as prescribed by their health care providers. The adherence to medications has close relation to effectiveness of the therapy. The primary objective of this study is to observe the adherence to treatment with oral clodronate (PDC, proportion of days covered, number of days in which clodronate is taken according to treating physician recommendation) in patients with malignancy. The secondary "hypothesis generating" objective is to describe the relation between adherence to treatment with oral clodronate and efficacy of the therapy (skeletal events, pain).
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn how ipilimumab in combination with Lupron (leuprolide acetate) affects the body's own defense (immune) system before having surgery to remove prostate cancer. The safety of the drug combination will also be studied.
This is a randomized, double-blind, multicenter, phase 3 study evaluating orteronel plus prednisone compared with placebo plus prednisone in men with metastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) that has progressed following Docetaxel-based therapy
This is a randomized, double-blind, multicenter, phase 3 study evaluating orteronel (TAK-700) plus prednisone compared with placebo plus prednisone in the treatment of men with progressive, chemotherapy-naive, metastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of MRI-guided laser-induced thermal therapy of biopsy confirmed low-risk prostate cancer.
Study design: -The study will be a phase I like study to assess the extent to which prostate HistoScanning (PHS, the index test) can identify and characterize foci of prostate cancer when compared to histological samples harvested during radical prostatectomy (the reference test). The study will comprise 3 steps: first, defining the most suitable method for matching the TRUS (TransRectalUltrasonography) to histology (step 1); second, refining the algorithms (training set); third, verification of the PHS performances (test set). Study objectives: - Primary Objective: - To evaluate the extent to which PHS can discriminate between malignant lesions of the prostate versus non-malignant tissue in 3D RF TRUS data using radical prostatectomy histological step sectioning as the reference test. - Secondary Objectives: - To adapt and refine PHS tissue characterisation algorithms using RF data that were previously developed using grey-level data as input. - To assess the accuracy of PHS in predicting the volume of prostate cancers determined by histology. - To assess the ability of PHS to rule in or rule out the presence of cancer > or = 0.5 cc and of > or = 0.2 cc as determined by histology. - To evaluate the ability to discriminate primary Gleason pattern 4 and 5 versus 3 or less in tumours > or = 0.5 cc and > or = 0.2 cc. - To assess the ability of PHS to correctly risk stratify patients.
