Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine the effects (good and bad) that mifepristone has on patients with androgen independent prostate cancer.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of a prime-boost dose schedule of Human GM-CSF Gene Transduced Irradiated Prostate Allogeneic Cancer Vaccine (Allogeneic Prostate GVAX®) as measured by standard toxicity evaluation, changes in PSA, and tumor responses. Additional objectives are to measure the time to PSA and/or clinical disease progression as well as local and systemic immune responses to the vaccine.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of priming vaccinations, and subsequent boosting vaccinations with Human GM-CSF Gene Transduced Irradiated Prostate Allogeneic Cancer Cell Vaccines (Allogeneic Prostate GVAX®). Clinical observations and laboratory measurements will be monitored to evaluate safety and toxicity. Additionally, the antitumor effects of Allogeneic Prostate GVAX® on serum PSA levels will be evaluated and antitumor responses will be quantitated.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of priming vaccinations, and subsequent boosting vaccinations with GVAX® Vaccine for Prostate Cancer. Clinical observations and laboratory measurements will be monitored to evaluate safety and toxicity. Additionally, the antitumor effects of GVAX® Vaccine for Prostate Cancer on serum PSA levels, will be evaluated and antitumor responses will be quantitated.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate clinical and laboratory safety in patients receiving 4 different doses of GVAX® Prostate Cancer Vaccine in order to determine a maximum tolerated dose.
The purpose of this study is to better understand a new type of radiology test called positron emission tomography (PET) with carbon 11 methionine to determine which patients have a beneficial effect from anti-cancer therapy with the drug docetaxel.
The purpose of this study is to understand if a new type of radiology test called positron emission tomography (PET) with carbon 11 acetate will help us to understand which cancers produce more of a protein called fatty acid synthase (FAS).
The purpose of this trial is to assess the effects of combined therapy with androgen ablation and OGX-011 (an antisense to clusterin) given prior to radical prostatectomy on pathologic complete response rates in men with localized prostate cancer and high risk features.
Fatigue is one of the most common symptoms of prostate cancer. Fatigue is a lack of energy that makes it harder to do the things you normally do every day. Some symptoms of fatigue are: - feeling tired and/or weak; - having less interest in activities; - having trouble concentrating; - feeling "down"; - feeling exhausted for no clear reason. There are not many drugs that are helpful in treating fatigue. However, one group of medications does seem to be useful. In this study, we, the investigators at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, will be using a psychostimulant called Ritalin. The aim of this study is to see if this drug is helpful in treating fatigue in prostate cancer. We are also studying the side effects of this medication.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate radiotherapy followed by endocrine therapy in comparison with endocrine therapy alone for PSA failure after radical prostatectomy.
