Filter by:This is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, randomized phase III study in participants at high risk of recurrent prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy. The study will investigate - Treatment with docetaxel (TAXOTERE®) every three weeks (q3w) plus leuprolide acetate (ELIGARD®) versus leuprolide acetate alone (ELIGARD®) - Immediate treatment following prostatectomy versus deferred treatment at the time of relapse Using a 2x2 factorial design participants will therefore be randomized to - Immediate adjuvant treatment with docetaxel plus leuprolide acetate (chemotherapy and hormonal therapy) - Immediate adjuvant treatment with leuprolide acetate alone (hormonal therapy) - Deferred treatment with docetaxel plus leuprolide acetate (chemotherapy and hormonal therapy) - Deferred treatment with leuprolide acetate alone (hormonal therapy) Primary Objective: - The primary objective of the study is to compare progression-free survival using a 2x2 factorial design Secondary Objectives: - To compare the 5-year overall, cancer-specific and metastasis-free survival after systemic treatment between the groups - To compare the safety and tolerability between Docetaxel in combination with leuprolide acetate and leuprolide acetate alone. - To evaluate quality of life as measured by the FACT-P questionnaire. Originally, 1696 participants were planned in the study (with 424 participants randomized to each arm). However, only a total of 211 participants completed the randomization procedure as of 26 September 2007. Thus, sanofi-aventis, in accordance with the Steering Committee, decided to stop the participant recruitment as of 26 September 2007. Participants who had already signed their Informed Consent (IC) before September 26, 2007 were allowed to enter the randomization if they met eligibility criteria. The final revised number of planned participants to be randomly assigned to the 4 treatment arms was 250, and 228 participants were actually randomized. The final sample size did not allow all the statistical analyses to be conducted on efficacy data. Therefore, the protocol was amended to reflect the change in the plans for statistical analysis. The study was underpowered to serve as the basis for drawing conclusions regarding efficacy and quality of life (QoL) endpoints.
This is an National Institute of Health (NIH) funded, investigator-initiated, single center prospective study to investigate the ability of the new dual-modality positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET-CT) imaging systems in comparison to conventional imaging methods in assessing treatment response in men with metastatic prostate cancer. The investigators will enroll two groups of men with stage IV metastatic prostate cancer, each group will be comprised of 160 patients. - Group I: men with newly diagnosed hormone-responsive measurable metastatic disease who will be treated with androgen-ablation therapy - Group II: men with newly-developed hormone-refractory measurable metastatic disease who will be treated with chemotherapy and /or other therapies for hormone refractory disease To be eligible, men in either group must have rising serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) level - defined as at least 2 consecutive rises in PSA documented over a reference value (1st measure within 28 days prior to recruitment). The first rising PSA (2nd measure) should be taken at least 14 days after the reference value. A confirmatory PSA measure (3rd measure) obtained at least 14 days after the 2nd measure is required and must be greater than the 2nd measure. Additionally, patients must have a serum PSA concentration of at least 2 ng/mL in addition to increasing PSA to be eligible. Patients will be followed with the PET-CT at 4, 8, and 12 months after the initiation of androgen ablation therapy (Group I) or chemotherapy (Group II).
Evaluation of safety and efficacy of docetaxel in the treatment of advanced hormone refractory prostate cancer under the conditions of daily practise.
This is a multi-centre, phase II, open-label, two-stage design, single-arm study in patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer (HRPC) with advanced (rising PSA) and/or metastatic disease and who have had prior anti-androgen therapy. The study will further explore the efficacy of E7389 by enrollment of patients into two strata: those who have had no prior systemic chemotherapy for their disease (except for mitoxantrone and estramustine), and those who failed no more than one previous chemotherapeutic regimen with tubulin-binding agents such as docetaxel.
Patients with recurrent or metastatic solid tumors receive oral vinorelbine at one of three different doses (30 or 40 or 50 mg). Vinorelbine will be administered orally at a metronomic schedule three times a week: on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as gemcitabine and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving gemcitabine together with docetaxel works in treating patients with metastatic prostate cancer.
This trial is designed to investigate the efficacy and safety of GM-CSF used as a maintenance program in patients with androgen-independent prostate cancer (AIPC) who have achieved a maximal response on a taxotere or other chemotherapy schedule.
Objectives to evaluate the activity of Erlotinib in prostate cancer patients who are hormone refractory and androgen independent and have not been exposed to chemotherapy.
This study aims to provide preliminary data on the feasibility and outcomes of a 12 week exercise program on the quality of life of men with hormone refractory prostate cancer receiving docetaxel-based chemotherapy.
The use of vitamin E, vitamin C, beta carotene, and/or multivitamins may keep cancer, cardiovascular disease, eye diseases, or cognitive decline from occurring. This randomized clinical trial studied vitamin E, vitamin C, beta carotene, and/or multivitamins to see how well they work compared with placebos in preventing cancer, cardiovascular disease, eye disease, and cognitive decline in male doctors aged 50 years and older.
