Filter by:RATIONALE: Selenium may prevent or slow the growth of prostate cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well selenium works in treating patients with prostate cancer.
Efficacy and safety of a triptorelin 6-month formulation in patients with advanced prostate cancer. It was assumed that during the study treatment >90% of the patients would achieve and maintain castrate levels of serum testosterone.
as second-line treatment in metastatic prostate cancer, the present study will investigate the efficacy of sunitinib (SUTENT) given orally at a dose of 37.5 mg continuously, for 6 cycles of 6 consecutive weeks .Patients who are still responders after 6 cycles will be treated until disease progression, pain progression, unacceptable toxicity or death due to any cause. Dose increase or reduction of 12.5 mg increments and change of schedule is recommended based on individual safety and tolerability. Follow-up for up to 1 year from the last dose of sunitinib.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether antioxidants (vitamin E, selenium and lycopene)can change(reduce)prostate tumor size or blood flow to the prostate as determined by MRI imaging among men on Active Surveillance.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether survival can be prolonged in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer who receive dasatinib with docetaxel and prednisone.
RATIONALE: Learning about changes in DNA over time in patients with prostate cancer undergoing diet and lifestyle changes may help doctors learn about the long-term effects of these changes on disease progression. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying nutrition and lifestyle changes in patients with previously untreated stage I or stage II prostate cancer.
This was an open-label, multi-centre, uncontrolled, exploratory trial with a duration of 12 months in two cohorts. The trial aimed to investigate Degarelix as a second-line hormonal treatment in Prostate Cancer patients who experienced PSA-Failure following gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist treatment. The two cohorts differ in Testosterone levels at inclusion.
The purpose of this study is to discover if intensive lifestyle changes (such as diet and increased physical activity) improve the body's sensitivity to insulin, and therefore help prevent diabetes and other cardiovascular disease, in men receiving GnRH hormone therapy for prostate cancer.
This research study aims to explore the effectiveness of human erythropoietin versus placebo in promoting the recovery of erectile function in patients undergoing bilateral nerve-sparing radical retropubic prostatectomy for clinically localized prostate cancer. Pre-clinical studies have shown erythropoietin potently promoted recovery of erectile function in rats and humans have similar receptors on penile tissues and the periprostatic neurovascular bundles. A clinical non-randomized study conducted in men undergoing radical prostatectomy demonstrated a benefit to recovery of erectile function. Therefore, the hypothesis is that erythropoietin offers nerve protection in men undergoing nerve-sparing radical prostatectomy and results in a reduced degree of erectile dysfunction and also an improved rate of erection recovery following surgery.
RATIONALE: Selenomethionine may slow the growth of prostate cancer. Testosterone can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Finasteride may fight prostate cancer by lowering the amount of testosterone the body makes. Giving selenomethionine together with finasteride before surgery or radiation therapy may be an effective treatment for prostate cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well selenomethionine and finasteride work when given before surgery or radiation therapy in treating patients with stage I or stage II prostate cancer.
