Filter by:The overall goal of this proposal is to determine the effectiveness and safety of once weekly alendronate (Fosamax) in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis in men with prostate cancer on androgen deprivation therapy and to evaluate maintenance of bone mass following termination of therapy after one year.
The purpose of this study is to perform a randomized prospective study to evaluate whether the vacuum erection device facilitates an earlier return of erectile function post radical prostatectomy. A secondary measure will be to evaluate if the vacuum erection device can help prevent penile shortening.
Based on data supporting the use of cyclophosphamide and etoposide both as single agents in combination and a Phase I study showing acceptable toxicity with a chronic dosing regimen, we propose a Phase II clinical trial. This protocol establishes a model that will test the hypothesis that the use of etoposide and cyclophosphamide early in the course of prostate cancer progression, when fewer tumor cells are present, will have greater anti-tumor activity. We plan to treat patients with stage D0 prostate cancer to assess toxicity and anti-tumor activity.
RATIONALE: Measuring bone mineral density may help doctors predict whether prostate cancer will come back. It may also help the study of prostate cancer in the future. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying whether bone mineral density affects cancer recurrence in patients with early stage prostate cancer.
To evaluate the efficacy of SR31747 given at 75 or 125mg per day versus placebo in androgen prostate cancer patient without distant metastases with Time to Clinical progression as main objective and PSA parameters, Tumor response, survival , safety,Tumor-related symptoms deterioration Quality of Life, PK analysis as secondary objectives
The objective of the study is to investigate whether blood markers can be used to predict the development of bone metastases and to assess the efficacy and safety of zoledronic acid in cancer treatment induced bone loss.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and tolerability of zoledronic acid in preventing skeletal-related events in patients with prostate cancer
This study is being conducted to evaluate the effect of an investigational drug on bone loss in men with prostate cancer who are receiving Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT). In order to participate, male patients 18 years and older must be veterans from participating Veterans Administration Medical Centers that are receiving ADT for prostate cancer and have established osteoporosis.
A total of 108 males with advanced prostate cancer will be enrolled into this study. Patients must have undergone prostate cancer staging within 180 days of enrollment. 54 patients will be randomized to receive hormone therapy alone and 54 patients will be randomized to receive hormone therapy plus the MDX-010 therapy.
Recently, many centers have begun offering laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP) as a minimally invasive therapy for localized prostate cancer.1-6 LRP may offer the advantages of improved neurovascular bundle sparing, a more precise urethrovesical anastomosis, shorter hospitalization, and decreased convalescence. Our group at Methodist Urology, LLC has extensive experience in laparoscopy and in treating prostate cancer and are planning to offer LRP. We intend to maintain a registry and database to document the outcomes with LRP.
