Filter by:One purpose of this research study is to examine if a special type of imaging test, a positron emission tomography (PET) scan using the radioactive material [C-11] acetate, will be helpful in detecting prostate cancer lesions in subjects with castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). This PET scan will be combined with a computed tomography (CT) scan taken during the same imaging session. The other purpose of the PET-CT scan using [C-11] acetate (PET Acetate Scan) is to assist in identifying who is responding to the treatment (docetaxel chemotherapy).
The primary objective of this prospective multi-centre study is to prove the diagnostic accuracy of in vivo 3T multi-modality Magnetic Resonance Imaging (high resolution T2-weighted MRI, DCE-MRI, MRSI and DWI techniques) in distinguishing carcinoma from other prostate tissue. The gold standard for distinguishing the tissue types is the analysis of whole-mount sections of the resected prostate by a genitourinary histopathologist.
The purpose of this study is to determine if testosterone will recover to 90% by year 1 after using Eligard.
This is a randomized, double blind, placebo controlled trial of immunotherapy with autologous antigen-loaded dendritic cells (Provenge, APC8015) for asymptomatic, metastatic, hormone-refractory prostate cancer.
The primary objective is to assess the efficacy of immediate postoperative adjuvant hormonal treatment according to 2 year PSA recurrence rate in high risk localised or locally advanced Chinese prostate cancer patients.The secondary objective is to assess the quality of life（QoL）of the high risk localised or locally advanced Chinese prostate cancer patients with immediate postoperative adjuvant hormonal treatment and get the information of immediate postoperative adjuvant hormonal treatment (including the regimen, dosage and duration).
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of combined radiotherapy and hormone therapy and hormone therapy alone in the treatment of clinically locally advanced prostate cancer (T3-T4 or pT3 on biopsy, N0, M0).
This study is being offered to patients who have castrate-resistant (also known as hormone-refractory) prostate cancer. The cancer has metastasized or spread outside the prostate area to other parts of the body or has recurred in the pelvic area after treatment. The purpose of this clinical research study is to determine whether OGX-427 is able to slow the progression of prostate cancer and symptoms of disease when given with prednisone better than when prednisone is given alone in patients with prostate cancer whose disease has spread outside the prostate area. Research Hypothesis: That adding OGX-427 to prednisone treatment will produce a progression free rate of 20%.
RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood in the laboratory from patients with cancer may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA and identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors predict how patients will respond to treatment. PURPOSE: This research study is studying blood samples from patients with metastatic prostate cancer previously treated with bicalutamide and goserelin.
This randomized phase II trial is studying bicalutamide, goserelin, or leuprolide acetate to see how well they work when given with or without cixutumumab in treating patients with newly diagnosed metastatic prostate cancer. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Antihormone therapy, such as bicalutamide, goserelin, or leuprolide acetate, may lessen the amount of androgens made by the body. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cixutumumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. It is not yet known whether bicalutamide, goserelin, or leuprolide acetate are more effective when given with or without cixutumumab in treating prostate cancer.
disulfiram is a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor that may provide benefit for patients with prostate cancer by restoring tumor suppressor genes.
