Filter by:This phase II trial is studying how well AZD0530 works in treating patients with prostate cancer that did not respond to hormone therapy. AZD0530 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth
This is a multi-center open-label dose-escalation study of a novel compound (MDV3100) to treat patients with castration-resistant (hormone-refractory) prostate cancer. Additional patients will be enrolled in expanded cohorts at doses determined to be tolerable. Patients who tolerate the drug and do not progress will be allowed to continue to look for PSA response.
The primary purpose of this study is to examine the feasibility of collecting pain and other symptom data in outpatient treatment centers across multiple institutions in the Texas Medical Center (TMC). We will also examine the prevalence and severity of cancer-related pain and begin to identify other commonly reported symptoms in outpatient settings. Factors that interfere with management of pain will also be examined. Additionally, the study will explore patient satisfaction with pain management and pain education in outpatient settings. The specific aims of this study include: Primary Objective: -Explore the feasibility of a collaborative effort by oncology nurses to collect pain and symptom data across multiple institutions that care for ambulatory cancer patients in the TMC. Secondary Objectives: - Describe the prevalence and severity of pain and other symptoms in persons with breast, colorectal, lung, or prostate cancer who are receiving chemotherapy in the outpatient setting. - Describe factors that interfere with adequate pain management in these patients. - Examine patient satisfaction with pain management and patient education about pain management.
Azacitidine can reverse clinical resistance to docetaxel through upregulation of Growth Arrest and DNA Damage inducible alpha (GADD45α) and other epigenetically regulated genes.
A study to assess safety and tolerability of AZD2171 after multiple doses in patients with advanced prostate cancer.
Primary Objective: 1. To evaluate the pathological complete response rate to neoadjuvant hormonal ablation, Imatinib and Docetaxel (HID) in high-risk localized prostate cancer. Secondary Objectives: 1. To describe the time to prostate specific antigen (PSA)-progression after neoadjuvant HID and radical prostatectomy in high-risk localized prostate cancer. 2. To correlate pathological response with modulation of the Platelet-Derived Growth Factor Receptor (PDGFR) pathway.
RATIONALE: Monoclonal antibodies, such as bevacizumab, 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. Bevacizumab may also stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as satraplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving satraplatin together with bevacizumab may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well giving satraplatin together with bevacizumab works in treating patients with metastatic prostate cancer previously treated with docetaxel.
The goal of this clinical research study is to evaluate a system for localizing (targeting for treatment) the prostate for external beam radiation therapy. The system will be used to locate the prostate before treatment and to measure movement of the prostate during treatment. The data collected with the system will be compared to CT images taken during the course of your radiation therapy treatment. Researchers will try to use this information to verify the performance of the system, which could lead to improved positioning and tracking of the prostate during treatment.
RATIONALE: Vitamin D and soy extract may be effective in lowering prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in patients with recurrent prostate cancer that has not responded to previous treatment. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving vitamin D together with soy supplements works in treating patients with recurrent prostate cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with Zactima (vandetanib) in combination with Docetaxel and Prednisolone is more effective than the standard Docetaxel and Prednisolone alone for prostate cancer, in patients with Hormone refractory prostate cancer who have not previously received chemotherapy.
