Filter by:This study is an observational study to see whether anxiety level can be correlated with PSA level under the current practice in the patients of prostate cancer taking hormonal therapy. For assessment of anxiety level BAI(Beck Anxiety Inventory) will be used. The target population for this study is the patients of prostate cancer diagnosed previously and who are taking hormonal therapy with regular follow-up and PSA test. The follow-up duration will be total 6 months with interim visit at 3 month and final visit at 6 month.
To investigate the sensitivity of the [18F]fluoroethylcholine (FEC) Positron-Emission-Tomography/ Magnetic Resonance Imaging (PET/MRI) method in tumour detection and location (side assignment, encapsulation, invasion of the seminal vesicle) and detection of affected lymph nodes, and to compare these with presently used detection procedures (needle biopsy, digital rectal examination, transrectal ultrasound, and pre-therapeutic assessment), with a view to finding out whether the [18F]fluoroethylcholine PET/MRI method is comparable to, or superior to, the established method. Postoperative histology served as the standard of reference.
This single arm, multicenter, open-label, Phase II study will enroll chemotherapy-naive participants with metastatic, histologically-confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate (stage M1 D2). Treatment will continue until there is evidence of disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or other withdrawal criteria are met. Non-surgically castrated participants must continue the use of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists during protocol treatment.
The aim of this study is to determine if 3 monthly infusions of zoledronic acid, given over one year, improves the bone mineral density in osteoporotic patients undergoing androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer
Primary objective was to demonstrate overall survival improvement with aflibercept compared to placebo in patients receiving docetaxel / prednisone for metastatic androgen-independent prostate cancer (MAIPC). The secondary objectives were: - To assess the efficacy of aflibercept compared to placebo on other parameters such prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, cancer related pain, progression free survival (PFS), tumor-based and skeletal events and health-related quality of life (HRQL); - To assess the overall safety in both treatment arms; - To determine the pharmacokinetics of intravenous (IV) aflibercept in this population; - to determine immunogenicity of IV aflibercept.
The present study will investigate the safety, tolerability and spectrum of side effects of AGS-1C4D4. As such, this study will characterize the dose limiting toxicities (DLT) and potentially the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of AGS-1C4D4 in patients with advanced HRPC.
The aims include: 1. To measure the effect of the three study conditions on Quality of Life (QOL). - CHESS and Cancer Information Mentor will not differ initially (6 weeks) or late in treatment (6 months) in QOL - CHESS +Cancer Information Mentor will have the largest impact on QOL (initially and late in treatment) and will be significantly better than either CHESS or Cancer Information Mentor alone. 2. To measure potential intervening or mediating processes, so that we can determine how CHESS and the Cancer Information Mentor produce associated QOL benefits. 3. To conduct exploratory use analyses examining which types of CHESS content, sequential patterns of content use, or other characteristics of use behavior are associated with greater pretest-posttest improvements in QOL. 4. To conduct a secondary analysis exploring whether men whose partners have actively used CHESS do better than those whose partners did not use CHESS.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn about how effective 2 chemotherapy drugs carboplatin (Paraplatin) plus docetaxel (Taxotere) in the treatment of patients with anaplastic prostate cancer. Patients who continue to have advanced disease will be switched to etoposide (VePesid) plus cisplatin (Platinol-AQ) to study how effective this second line of chemotherapy is in the treatment of patients iwth anaplastic prostate cancer. The side effects, characteristics of patients who respond, and overall survival will also be studied.
To determine the feasibility and safety of administering YM155 in combination with docetaxel
This is a review of prostate biopsy specimens which show capsular penetration or positive surgical margins. Patients had surgery performed at William Beaumont Hospital-Royal Oak, Michigan.
