NCT ID: NCT00652210 Completed - Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials

Use of Multiphoton Microscopy in the Diagnosis of Cancer

MPM
Start date: June 2005
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

Multiphoton microscopy (MPM) has been shown to be able to image tissue at a cellular level. Our project will initially evaluated the ability of MPM imaging to distinguish normal bladder urothelium from atypical and malignant urothelium in the ex vivo setting. After development of sufficient criteria, we plan to develop an endoscopic bladder probe that will provide a non-invasive means to image the interior of the bladder at the cellular level, which would provide direct evidence of the presence of tumor without a biopsy. After exhibiting usefulness of MPM imaging for bladder cancer, we will look at other organs beginning with the colon.

NCT ID: NCT00651222 Completed - Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials

Influence of Hormone Therapy on Heart Attack Incidence in Men Undergoing Prostate Brachytherapy

Start date: n/a
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

The purpose of this study is to review cause of death in patients undergoing prostate brachytherapy at a single institution. Furthermore, we are analyzing patients undergoing androgen deprivation therapy and whether or not this contributed to cardiovascular deaths, specifically myocardial infarction.

NCT ID: NCT00644488 Completed - Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials

A Phase I Study of BMS-641988 in Japanese Patients With Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer

Start date: July 2008
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this clinical study is to assess the safety and tolerability of BMS-641988 once daily orally in Japanese patients with castration resistant prostate cancer

NCT ID: NCT00643994 Completed - Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials

CyberKnife Radiosurgery for Organ-Confined Prostate Cancer: Homogenous Dose Distribution

Start date: December 2007
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of CyberKnife radiosurgery in patients with early stage organ-confined prostate cancer.

NCT ID: NCT00643617 Completed - Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials

CyberKnife Radiosurgery For Low & Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer: Emulating HDR Brachytherapy Dosimetry

Start date: October 22, 2007
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of CyberKnife radiosurgery in patients with early stage organ-confined prostate cancer and to evaluate the effects of this treatment on the quality of life over time.

NCT ID: NCT00642018 Completed - Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials

A Study of an Experimental Chemotherapy Combination to Treat Hormone Refractory Prostate Cancer

Start date: March 2008
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether LY2181308 in combination with docetaxel is safe and effective treatment for hormone refractory prostate cancer patients.

NCT ID: NCT00638690 Completed - Prostatic Neoplasms Clinical Trials

Abiraterone Acetate in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer Previously Treated With Docetaxel-Based Chemotherapy

Start date: May 2008
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

This is a phase 3 study to compare the clinical benefit of abiraterone acetate plus prednisone with placebo plus prednisone in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) who have failed one or two chemotherapy regimens. At least one of the previous chemotherapies must have contained docetaxel.

NCT ID: NCT00637871 Completed - Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials

Casodex - Nolvadex Combination

Start date: November 2002
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This study looks at the relationship in the dose of nolvadex and the incidence of gynaecomastia and also Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) inhibition when co-administered with Casodex. The aim of the study is to assess the optimal dose of nolvadex which will reduce the breast tissue adverse effects without reducing the efficacy of Casodex.

NCT ID: NCT00637208 Completed - Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials

Sclerotherapy of Internal Spermatic Veins in Patients With Varicocele and Localized Prostate Cancer

Start date: November 2007
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Patients with varicocele in whon early prostate cancer will be found will undergo venographic embolization of both spermatic veins. The study hypothesis is that this procedure will induce a gradual regression of the prostate volume that may decrease prostate cancer cells. Close follow-up will ensure that necessary therapy will be provided if needed according to clinical criteria. Results in terms of prostate size PSA level and tumor size will be recorded.

NCT ID: NCT00636740 Completed - Clinical trials for Hormone-Refractory Prostate Cancer

Multi-Center Phase II Study to Compare MER-101 20mg Tablets to Intravenous Zometa 4mg in Male Bisphosphonate-Naive, Hormone Refractory Prostate Cancer Patients

Start date: February 2008
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The objective of MER-101-03 is to examine the effects of two different dosing regimens of MER-101 20mg tablets versus Zometa 4mg IV infusion once-monthly therapy. The effects will be monitored on a weekly basis by measuring various markers of bone metabolism. Patients to be enrolled will be those who have not received any previous bisphosphonate therapy. The study will be carried out on prostate cancer patients who are no longer on hormone therapy. Treatment in the study will be for a 2-month period.
