Filter by:Background: - Currently, there is no curative therapy for metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), a leading cause of death in men. However, researchers are exploring new treatments that involve drugs that prevent angiogenesis (the process by which new blood vessels are formed) and can slow or prevent tumor growth. - TRC105 is an experimental drug that blocks angiogenesis, and has been studied for possible use in treating different kinds of cancer. However, it has not been validated to treat prostate cancer in general or CRPC in particular. Objectives: - To determine the effects of TRC105 as a treatment for CRPC - To determine the safety and effectiveness of TRC105 in treating CRPC Eligibility: - Men at least 18 years of age who have been diagnosed with castrate-resistant prostate cancer for which existing treatments have not been effective. Design: - Eligible individuals will have a series of blood and other tests to determine their suitability for participating in the study. - Participants will receive intravenous infusions of TRC105 in a 28-day treatment cycle. Participants will receive i.v. (intravenous) infusions of TRC105 every two weeks on days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle (cohorts 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6) and every week on days 1, 8, 15, and 22 of each 28 day cycle (cohort 4). - Participants will receive different doses of TRC105 depending on when they enter the study, up to a maximum tolerated dose or optimum treatment dose. - Frequent blood and urine tests will be performed during treatment, as well as other tests of cancer progression as directed by the study doctors. Participants will receive medicines to help prevent possible adverse side effects of TRC105, such as allergic reaction to the drug. - Participants will continue treatment with TRC105 until they or the study team decides that the medication is not beneficial. No additional testing will be required unless participants discontinue the treatment because of side effects (which the study doctors will follow until the side effects are resolved).
The goal of this clinical research study is to find out how treatment with abiraterone acetate in combination with prednisone and a Luteinizing Hormone-Releasing Hormone (LHRH) analogue changes the tumor in comparison to treatment with an LHRH analogue alone. Objectives: Primary Objective: To assess the difference in pathologic stage < pT2 between Group A and Group B. Secondary Objective: - To assess and compare the changes in levels of androgens (pre, during, and post treatment) in the serum, primary tumor microenvironment and bone marrow between Group A and Group B. - To assess changes in biomarkers related to androgen signaling and other cancer-related pathways between Group A and Group B. - To assess the difference in rate of positive surgical margins between Group A and Group B. - To assess the safety profile of abiraterone acetate and low dose prednisone in a preoperative setting.
The purpose of this study is to compare metabolic and stress responses in combined general/epidural anesthesia in geriatric cancer patients.
This randomized study evaluates the effect of a multi-focused, psychosocial 6-day residential rehabilitation course at a Danish rehabilitation centre for cancer survivors. The investigators hypothesize that individuals in the intervention group will experience better psychosocial well-being and more adaptive health behaviour changes as compared to individuals in the control group.
Assess whether the combination of ABT-888 with temozolomide (TMZ) has activity in subjects with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) as reflected by the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response.
This is an open-label, multicenter, Phase 1/2 study of TAK-700 in combination with docetaxel and prednisone that will evaluate the safety and pharmacokinetics (PK) of the combination and will allow estimation of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) response in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
The purpose of this study is to assess for changes in a patient's overall energy level and well-being (quality of life) after 8 weeks of dietary intervention.
RATIONALE: Temsirolimus may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, 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. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving temsirolimus together with bevacizumab may be a better way to block tumor growth. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of temsirolimus when given together with bevacizumab and to see how well it works in treating patients with hormone-resistant metastatic prostate cancer that did not respond to chemotherapy.
