Filter by:Enthuse M1 is a large phase III clinical trial studying the safety and efficacy of ZD4054 (Zibotentan) in patients with hormone resistant prostate cancer and bone metastases. - This clinical trial will test if the Endothelin A Receptor Antagonist ZD4054 (Zibotentan) can improve survival compared with placebo. - ZD4054(Zibotentan) is a new type of agent, which is thought to slow tumour growth and spread by blocking Endothelin A receptor activity. This trial will look at the effects of ZD4054 (Zibotentan) in hormone resistant prostate cancer patients with bone metastases. - All patients participating in this clinical trial will receive existing standard prostate cancer treatments in addition to trial therapy. - Half the patients will receive ZD4054 (Zibotentan), and half the patients will receive placebo in addition to standard prostate cancer therapy. By participating in this trial there is a 50% chance that patients will receive an agent that may slow the progression of the tumour. - No patients will be deprived of standard prostate cancer therapy.
Multi-centre one year trial for patients who have rising PSA while on Casodex 50mg daily dose. Casodex dosage escalated to 150 mg tablet daily. Treatment will be continued until patient demonstrates clinical benefit at one year, PSA progression, toxicity, or withdrawal. Treatment will be continued after one year if patient demonstrates continued clinical benefit.
Patient on an intermittent androgen deprivation protocol for biochemical recurrence after radical local therapy for prostate cancer,the addition of continuous dutasteride treatment, significantly prolongs the duration of the off treatment interval and time to androgen independence.
The aim of this study is to comprehensively monitor the effects of a nonsteroidal antiandrogen in patients requiring hormone manipulation for prostate cancer
The specific objective of this study is to compare the relative efficacy of the combination of a temporary iridium implant plus external beam irradiation versus standard external beam irradiation alone in patients with Stage B2 and C prostatic carcinoma. Benefit will be assessed in terms of local recurrence, survival, and toxicity.
RATIONALE: Stereotactic body radiation therapy may be able to send x-rays directly to the tumor and cause less damage to normal tissue. PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of stereotactic body radiation therapy and to see how well it works in treating patients with prostate cancer.
Currently, there are no established 2nd-line or salvage chemotherapy regimens for patients with HRPC, many of whom retain an excellent performance status. The antitumor characteristics and toxicity profile of vinflunine make it an ideal agent to be investigated in this setting. In this Phase II trial, we plan to evaluate the efficacy, toxicity, and feasibility of administering IV vinflunine at a dose of 320 mg/m2 q3w as salvage chemotherapy in patients with HRPC. The patients will be evaluated for response, survival, and toxicity. If significant antitumor activity is demonstrated, further evaluation of this agent either alone or combination regimens and at earlier stages of disease will be indicated.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of abiraterone acetate on levels of androgens and steroid metabolites in bone marrow plasma of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).
RATIONALE: Developing a questionnaire that can be used to assess the quality of life among people who have a family member with cancer may help the study of cancer in the future. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying quality of life among families with a member who is a cancer patient.
The purpose of this clinical phase I study is to measure the efficacy and side effects of Common Sage in the treatment of hot flashes in 10 patients with prostate cancer who receive androgen deprivation (AD) (exclusively or as part of a multimodality treatment) for a period of minimum 6 months. Concomitant use of a non-steroidal anti-androgen during the first month of the AD is permitted to prevent the flair-up phenomenon. However, the inclusion of patients in the study will only start at least 2 weeks after the cessation of the anti-androgen. This is done to exclude a possible influence of the anti-androgen on the severity and frequency of hot flashes. Once the informed consent is signed, the patient receives the study diary to note the daily frequency and severity of hot flashes and their effect on daily quality of life. The severity of the hot flashes is measured by the Moyad scoring scale. The effect on daily quality of life is measured using the Hot Flash Related Daily Interference Scale (HFRDIS). The patient will be instructed in detail how to use the diary. After week 1, the patient returns the diary to the responsible physician. In return the patient receives the study medication (Common Sage, product) and a diary for the next week (=week 2). This procedure will be repeated until the end of the observation period (2 months after enrollment in the study). The common Sage will be provided in tablets. The suggested dose of Common Sage is 3 tablets a day (morning - noon - evening). To be sure that the effect of Common Sage is NOT due to an inhibition of the effect of the LHRH analogue, the related hormones (testosterone, FSH, LH, free testosterone and SHBG) will be tested at three fixed moments: day of study enrollment, 1 month after study enrollment and at the end of the study. In order to check the level of hemoglobin and cholesterol, every 2 weeks a blood count will be performed. It has been shown that LHRH analogues can induce anemia and hypercholesterolemia. The investigators want to measure a possible effect of Common Sage on both. There are no known side-effects of the use of Common Sage. All symptoms that could be related to the use of Common Sage will be recorded in detail. Therefore, a clinical examination including blood pressure registration will be performed by the responsible physician on a weekly base.
