Filter by:This study takes place in the Divisions of Urology. Patients who have only received hormonal therapy will be enrolled. Patients will be randomly sorted into an experimental group and a control group after completing a pretest questionnaire. The experimental group will receive the the multimedia hormone therapy information program once per week for 6 consecutive weeks, while the control group will receive routine care. The follow-up data collections will be completed at 8 and 12 weeks after the pretest. For quantitative measurement, the main variables will be social support, self-efficacy, quality of life, and positive thinking.
Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in male cancer globally and ranked third in Hong Kong. While androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the backbone treatment for advanced prostate cancer, it could lead to obesity, metabolic syndrome and increased cardiovascular mortality. Previous studies showed that ADT patients have different gut microbiome compared to non-ADT patients and the gut microbiome might be related to the metabolic changes. However, the underlying mechanism of these metabolic complications is still not fully understood. This study aims to investigate the relationship and related mechanism between the changes in gut microbiomes and ADT-related metabolic change in prostate cancer patients.
The study drug, radium-223, gives off radiation that helps to kill cancer cells in the prostate. It is already available for patients to receive as a treatment for prostate cancer that has not responded to testosterone lowering treatment and has spread to the bones. This type of cancer is called metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, also called mCRPC. Sometimes, researchers continue studying an available treatment to learn more about how it affects patients' daily lives. In this study, the researchers want to learn more about how radium-223 affects the patients' ability to do their daily tasks. The patients in this study will already be receiving treatment with radium-223 as part of their routine care. The tests and measurements in this study will be done by the patients' own doctors. The researchers will collect information about the patients' treatment and results. The study will include patients with mCRPC who have at least 2 tumors in their bones. These patients will have recently started treatment with radium-223. The patients will have also had surgery or treatment to lower their testosterone levels. But, the treatment did not help their cancer. The study will include about 105 men in Colombia who are at least 18 years old. All of the patients will receive radium-223 through a needle put into the vein, also called an intravenous injection. They will visit their doctor's office up to 8 times during 28 weeks. At these visits, their doctors will ask how they are feeling and what medications they are taking, and will take blood samples. The doctors will also give the patients surveys about their physical, social, and emotional health and about the symptoms of their prostate cancer.
This trial aims to prospectively assess the safety and efficiency of SHR7390 in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer
The DDI study had been designed to investigate the effect of SHR3680 on the pharmacokinetics of Midazolam, S-Warfarin and Omeprazole
Prostate cancer is the first cancer amongst men with more than 50000 cases per year in France. Surgical, radiation, frost, or ultrasound induced rectourethral fistula is a rare complication (<1%) of localized prostatic cancer treatment but hard to manage. Different types of treatment exist: conservatory, trans-sphinteric (York-Masson), transanal, perineal, with or without muscle flap interposition. Gracilis flap interposition for rectourethral fistula management is a promising technique but few cases are described and functional results are scarce. The aim of this study is to present surgical and functional outcomes of rectourethral fistulas surgery with gracilis flap interposition after treatment of localized prostate cancer.
The complex relationship that exists between physical and mental health in prostate cancer is increasingly being understood. Psychiatric symptoms are common in this group and have important consequences for the quality of life and cancer outcomes for patients with prostate cancer. However, less is understood about the severity of disease and which patient factors and treatment options are risk factors for developing problems. Additionally, the impact these conditions have on problems such as urinary incontinence or sexual function is less well understood. The investigators anticipate that different patient characteristics and treatment options increase an individuals risk of developing problems after a prostate cancer diagnosis. Therefore, this study aims to further investigate these specific factors to improve follow up care in patients with prostate cancer. This observational study will follow up newly diagnosed prostate cancer patients for a period of 12 months to evaluate these outcomes. Participants will be identified across seven hospitals in London and South England. After being recruited participants will be invited to undergo repeated online or postal questionnaires at baseline, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months. These will assess depressive and anxiety symptom load, body image issues, fear of recurrence, masculinity perception and functional symptoms (including urinary, bowel and sexual symptoms) load. Analysis of these findings will allow for identification of 1) Which subgroups of patients appear to have worse mental wellbeing and quality of life outcomes, and 2) How mental health issues impact functional outcomes. This will provide important information for guiding future research within the subject area and further inform clinicians about these issues.
This is a prospective, Phase 3 non-randomized, open label, multi-centre clinical trial to assess the safety and efficacy of [18F]PSMA-1007 Injection (investigational product or IP) in evaluating men with suspected persistent or recurrent disease (i.e., with biochemical failure), but with negative or equivocal conventional re-staging imaging (bone scan [BS] and computed tomography [CT] of abdomen and pelvis).
Radiotherapy (RT) of the abdomen and/or pelvis is known to cause acute and late gastrointestinal (GI) toxicities. While radiation dose and volume are known risk factors for developing such side effects, recent evidence suggests patterns of disturbance in the composition of the GI microbiota - so called "dysbiosis" - may also promote the host's susceptibility to GI toxicities through impaired intestinal barrier function and inflammation. The IMPRINT-study aims to expand the current knowledge on the role of intestinal bacteria and their metabolites involved in the pathophysiology of radiation-induced GI toxicities by longitudinally examining the microbiota composition (feces), the associated metabolome (blood, feces and urine) and bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs) (blood and feces).
This is an open-label, positron emission tomography (PET) imaging Proof of Biology (POB) study to determine whether CC -90011 reverses, by the induction of androgen receptor (AR) expression, the castration resistance, due to lineage switch, in participants with mCRPC that have failed enzalutamide as last prior therapy. This study aims to assess whether CC-90011 can induce AR expression and, consequently, re-sensitize tumors to anti-hormonal therapy.
