Filter by:A retrospective, registry analysis of the socio-economic and demographic characteristics of patients suffering from locally advanced or metastatic prostate cancer, as well as the depiction of the therapeutic algorithms followed in the Greek clinical practice. - Target Group: Patients with locally advanced or metastatic prostate cancer. - The first 10 consecutive patients records that meet the entry criteria.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, 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. Cetuximab may also stop the growth of prostate cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Giving docetaxel together with cetuximab may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects of giving docetaxel together with cetuximab and to see how well it works in treating patients with metastatic prostate cancer.
This phase II trial studies how well hydroxychloroquine works in treating patients with previously treated prostate cancer. Autophagy destroys proteins and other substances in cells and may be used by prostate cancer cells to survive. Hydroxychloroquine, which blocks autophagy, may slow the growth of and possibly kill prostate cancer cells.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of docetaxel administered every 3 weeks repeatedly for 11 and more cycles and in combination with daily prednisolone for metastatic hormone refractory prostate cancer.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of pomegranate polyphenol pills (POM-X) and a placebo (sugar pill) on prostatic oxidative stress. The placebo is a pill that looks like the POM-X pill but does not have an active ingredient.
This study includes an interview with men who have selected "watchful waiting" or "active surveillance" for their localized prostate cancer, in lieu of active treatment (such as surgery or radiation). We hope to understand the educational and support needs of men on surveillance so that we can develop a new intervention that will improve quality of life for such men.
This is a phase I/II, open-label, dose escalation study of HE3235 administered orally to patients with advanced prostate cancer who have failed hormone therapy and at least one taxane based chemotherapy regimen.
This is an open label, Phase 2 trial of immunotherapy with sipuleucel-T as neoadjuvant treatment in men with localized prostate cancer.
This is a randomized, multicenter, single blind, Phase 2 trial of immunotherapy in men with metastatic androgen independent prostate cancer to evaluate sipuleucel-T manufactured with different concentrations of PA2024 antigen
RATIONALE: Internal radiation uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells. Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects of internal radiation therapy when given with or without external-beam radiation therapy and to see how well it works in treating patients with localized prostate cancer.
