Filter by:The purpose of this study is to see whether immunotherapy with BMS-986218 added to degarelix (which suppresses testosterone) given prior to surgery can decrease the chance that cancer will come back compared to degarelix alone. People who usually have this type of prostate cancer usually do not receive any additional therapy prior to surgery. Approximately 24 individuals will be asked to participate in this study.
The study is a prospective, single arm phase I/II study. The primary aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility of 111In-PSMA I&T radio guided surgery in patients diagnosed with prostate cancer who are highly suspected of having one or more pelvic lymph node metastases based on pre-operative imaging. Patients with prostate cancer who have a high risk of lymph node metastases based on PSMA PET/CT and scheduled for robot-assisted PLND (with or without prostatectomy) will be recruited. Eligible patients will receive an additional ferumoxtran-10 enhanced MRI to complement pre-operative imaging. Twenty-four hours before surgery, patients will receive the radiolabelled PSMA tracer. Pelvic Lymph node dissections are carried out according to standard of care procedures. During surgery, the surgeon will be provided with a gamma-probe to detect PSMA expressing lymph nodes in vivo. Dissected samples will be systematically assessed on tracer accumulation using the gamma-probe ex vivo. After surgery, the samples will be scanned in the small animal SPECT/CT and 7T-MRI. After scanning, samples will be presented to pathologists for pathological analysis according to standard of care including staining for PSMA expression. At 3 months after surgery, patients will undergo a PSMA-PET/CT. Up until one year after surgery patients will be followed according to standard of care-guidelines by 3-monthly serum-PSA measurements.
This trial studies the ability of micro-ultrasound to detect and characterize prostate cancer tumors in patients undergoing radical prostatectomy (removal of the entire prostate and some of the tissue around it). Usually multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging is used for the detection and targeted therapy of prostate cancer, but its accuracy remains imperfect. Micro-ultrasound may be superior as it provides real-time tumor visualization which may simplify and improve prostate cancer targeted therapy. This may also reduce the need for and substantial costs of radical prostatectomy.
This Phase II study is designed to study the clinical and radiologic response, as well as, safety and tolerability of abemaciclib in combination with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in patients with localized high-risk or locally advanced prostate cancer who are eligible for definitive radiation therapy (RT) and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).
The primary objective of this trial is to determine if adjuvant apalutamide in prostate cancer patients at high risk of developing subsequent metastatic disease results in prolonged biochemically recurrence-free survival after radical prostatectomy (RPE) in comparison to standard of care (SOC).
This is a prospective observational cohort study of patients with prostate cancer who have a metabolic syndrome. The study aims to evaluate the role of intermittent fasting (fasting mimicking diet) in these patients. The primary end point is metabolic health and the secondary endpoint is quality of life.
This is a Phase I multi-center, open-label, study of DST-2970 to determine the MTD, overall safety/tolerability, PK/pharmacodynamic parameters, and efficacy in prostate cancer patients.The study will include a dose escalation phase followed by a dose expansion phase. Each cohort will consist of a "run-in" period to assess pharmacokinetic trough, as well as C1hour, C2hour, and C3hour levels of standard of care abiraterone acetate, followed by a minimum of an 80-hour washout (treatment delay), then initiation of treatment with DST-2970. The patient population that will be evaluated in this study include patients with castration sensitive or castration resistant prostate cancer who experience a rising PSA, with or without radiographic progression, while taking abiraterone acetate. In this protocol, "initial PSA response to abiraterone" is defined as having a ≥ 30% drop in PSA levels (confirmed by a second PSA level one month later) during the first 6 months of treatment with abiraterone. These patients who subsequently experience a rise in PSA while on abiraterone are considered as having "acquired resistance" to abiraterone in the context of this protocol. Patients not meeting the definition of having an "initial PSA response to abiraterone" are considered as having "primary resistance" to abiraterone in the context of the protocol. In the dose escalation phase, all patients with a rising PSA can be enrolled, whether they had an "initial PSA response to abiraterone" or never responded to abiraterone. Two expansion cohorts will be opened. One expansion cohort will evaluate patients who did achieve an "initial PSA response to abiraterone" within the first 6 months of treatment as defined above, but subsequently progressed by PSA with or without radiographic progression. A second expansion cohort will evaluate patients who did not achieve an "initial PSA response to abiraterone" as defined above but have PSA progression with or without radiographic progression. The rationale of the study is to determine if the better bioavailability of DST-2970 will overcome resistance to abiraterone acetate experienced in these two clinical settings. In all cohorts, treatment will continue until progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, investigator and/or sponsor decision, intercurrent illness or patient withdrawal of consent. Patients will be monitored regularly with physical examination and laboratory tests.
This phase II trial studies how well the combination of apalutamide, abiraterone acetate, and prednisone after chemotherapy work in treating patients that have received no prior treatment (treatment naive) for high risk prostate cancer that is sensitive to androgen deprivation therapy (castration sensitive) and has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic). This study also aims to understand the inheritance of prostate cancer. If a gene or genes that cause prostate cancer can be found, the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer may be improved. Testosterone (a male hormone) can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Hormone therapy using apalutamide may fight prostate cancer by blocking the use of testosterone by the tumor cells. Antihormone therapy, such as abiraterone acetate, may lessen the amount of testosterone made by the body. Anti-inflammatory drugs such as prednisone lower the body's immune response and are used with other drugs in the treatment of some types of cancer. Apalutamide, abiraterone acetate, and prednisone after chemotherapy may work better in treating patients with castration sensitive prostate cancer.
This study will evaluate whether a lifestyle intervention focused on weight loss, EMPOWER, reduces prostate cancer progression at 12 months among men with biochemical recurrence following local treatment for prostate cancer. Half of the men will be randomized to receive the EMPOWER intervention, while the other half will receive standard of care.
The objective of the study is to determine the incidence of faecal incontinence in prostate cancer survivors treated with moderately hypofractionated radiation therapy and correlate the dose received by the anal sphincter with the degree of faecal incontinence.
