Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to collect information on a new treatment of prostate tissue participants with intermediate risk prostate cancer using a medical device called the Poseidon System. The Poseidon System is intended to ablate prostate tissue in areas of the prostate where cancer has been identified. The medical device delivers thermal energy in the form of water vapor to the prostate tissue through the urethra. Previous research has shown successful prostate tissue ablation. Additional research may help show successful ablation of the prostate tissue where cancer is located.
This is a Phase Ib, open-label, multi-centre study to determine the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of capivasertib when given in combination with novel agents (enzalutamide or abiraterone) to inform the selection of capivasertib dose regimens for each combination for further clinical evaluation when given to patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). The study design allows an exploration of different doses with intensive safety monitoring to ensure the safety of the patients.
This pilot study will investigate the use of PSMA-PET/MRI (Positron Emission Tomography/ Magnetic Resonance Imaging)to guide radiation treatment planning in patients with known or suspected locally metastatic prostate cancer at the time of diagnosis. Patients will undergo a single PSMA-PET/MRI (or PET/CT (Computed Tomography) in some circumstances) prior to initiation of treatment. Following development of a PSMA-PET guided radiation treatment plan, therapeutic radiation will be delivered per standard-of-care parameters and assessments of feasibility and tolerability will be performed.
This early phase I trial studies how well a genetic test called pharmacogenomics works in directing the optimal use of supportive care medications in patients with stage III-IV cancer. Pharmacogenomics is the study of how genes may affect the body's response to and interaction with some prescription medications. Genes, which are inherited from parents, carry information that determines things such as eye color and blood type. Genes can also influence how patients process and respond to medications. Depending on the genetic makeup, some medications may work faster or slower or produce more or fewer side effects. Pharmacogenomics testing may help doctors learn more about how patients break down and process specific medications based on their genes and improve the quality of life of cancer patients receiving clinical care.
Transrectal ultrasound guided prostate biopsy is performed with a periprostatic nerve block to the neurovascular bundle bilaterally. This does not reduce the pain due to probe insertion and manipulation prior to nerve blockage. Our study goal is to assess whether topical analgesia would reduce pain during the early stages of the procedure.
Single site study to assess the feasibility of prostate cancer screening using an invitation for a prostate MRI scan via GP practices. This feasibility study will assess the acceptability of an MRI as a prostate cancer screening assessment and assess the prevalence of MRI defined suspicious lesions and cancer in men across a spectrum of PSA results.
This open-label study is designed to obtain preliminary data on the efficacy of a new depot formulation of goserelin, Pepti 10.8mg, in ambulatory patients with carcinoma of the prostate who, in the opinion of the Investigator, is a candidate for androgen deprivation therapy, after a single injection. Secondarily, it is designed to assess the pharmacokinetics, safety profile and PSA response of this new formulation.
The purpose of this observational study is to examine the level of activity in the prostate cancer population treated with Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT).
Abiraterone acetate is an orally effective CYP17 inhibitor, which is metabolized into abiraterone in the body, and its inhibitory activity against CYP17 is 10-30 times that of ketoconazole. Clinical studies have shown that abiraterone acetate can significantly reduce the level of prostate specific antigen (PSA) in PCa patients, and help to reduce tumors, extending the lifespan of patients with advanced PCa for several years, and the toxicity is acceptable.
This phase II trial studies the impact of 68GA-PSMA-11 positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scan on treatment strategies for patients with prostate cancer. Diagnostic imaging procedures, such as 68GA-PSMA-11 PET/CT scan, may help doctors plan the best treatment for prostate cancer.
