Filter by:PROSTVAC-VF is an investigational cancer vaccine. The vaccine is based on the theory that the immune system can be taught to fight cancer by directing the immune system to attack specific targets found on cancer cells. These targets are called Tumor Associated Antigens, or TAA's. This trial will help determine if this vaccine can help fight cancer. This multi-center, double-blind, randomized, empty vector-controlled trial is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of PROSTVAC-VF/TRICOM co-administered with GM-CSF versus the empty viral vector co-administered with placebo in the treatment of patients with androgen-independent prostate cancer (AIPC). All patients will be required to sign an informed consent prior to the performance of any on-study procedures. Patients will be screened for eligibility within 14 days prior to vaccine administration. Patients who meet all inclusion and exclusion criteria will be centrally randomized into the study and will receive a unique patient identification number and a blinded treatment assignment. The ratio of active treatment to empty vector control (placebo) is 2:1.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fenretinide, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well fenretinide works in treating patients with advanced or metastatic hormone-refractory prostate cancer.
Phase III trial using an injectable for treatment of prostate cancer.
This is a multi-center, open label, randomized study. Patients will be randomized to one of the following arms with an allocation ratio of 3:1, respectively: Arm A: CP-675,206 + neoadjuvant hormone therapy (NHT) OR Arm B: neoadjuvant hormone therapy. After randomization, patients will receive study treatment for three cycles (one cycle is defined as 28 days). After completion of three cycles, patients will undergo a prostatectomy and pathology assessments will be completed at a central laboratory, the Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP) in Washington, DC.
Phase I/II trial to study the effectiveness of combining GTI-2040 with docetaxel in treating patients who have recurrent, metastatic, or unresectable locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer, prostate cancer, or other solid tumors. GTI-2040 may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth. It may also increase the effectiveness of docetaxel by making the tumor cells more sensitive to the drug. Combining GTI-2040 with docetaxel may kill more tumor cells
The primary objectives of this study are: 1. To explore the antitumor activity of MEDI-522 in combination with docetaxel, prednisone, and zoledronic acid in patients with metastatic Androgen-Independent Prostate Cancer (AIPC); and 2. To summarize the safety of MEDI-522 in combination with docetaxel, prednisone, and zoledronic acid in this patient population.
Phase II randomized open-label, two-arm study of safety and efficacy of CC-4047 in subjects with metastatic hormone refractory prostate cancer (HRPC)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of trabectedin (ET-743) in adult male participants with advanced metastatic (spread of cancer cells from one part of the body to another) prostate cancer.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as CCI-779, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Giving CCI-779 before surgery may shrink the tumor so that it can be removed. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well CCI-779 works in treating patients who are undergoing radical prostatectomy for newly diagnosed prostate cancer at high risk of relapse.
The purpose of the study is to determine the highest dose of MLN2704 that can be given multiple times safely to patients with prostate cancer, and to identify any side effects associated with taking the drug. This study will also evaluate how MLN2704 is taken up, broken down and eliminated by the body.
