Filter by:ORIOLES is a non-randomized, pre-post intervention study designed to improve quality of opioid prescribing and use after discharge for patients undergoing urologic surgery. The study will initially focus on a pre-defined cohort of patients undergoing radical prostatectomy. After the predefined study period for the pre-intervention arm, a three-part intervention is employed to assess the effect on opioid prescribing and use in the post-intervention arm. Pending results, the intervention may be applied to all surgeries in the department for routine clinical care.
To determine the feasibility of using myocardial PET imaging as a means to assess cardiovascular risk in men with prostate cancer planned for androgen- deprivation therapy with external beam radiation therapy.
This study study aims to elucidate the immune responses to a shared antigen vaccine (PROSTVAC) and tumor specific antigens generated DNA vaccine in combination with checkpoint blockade using nivolumab (anti-PD-1), and ipilimumab (anti-CTLA-4). Additionally, the investigators will study the impact of the combination immunotherapy on peripheral T cell activation, as well as immune response in the tumor microenvironment. Finally, the investigators will evaluate the safety and tolerability to this novel personalized immunotherapy in combination with checkpoint blockade.
Evaluation of detection rate of 18F-Fluciclovine compared to current standard of care imaging techniques within 30 days of the standard of care imaging study and a 6 month phone follow-up
Recent drug improvement (e.g. abiraterone or enzalutamide) for castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) patients has improved survival. As treatment strategies improve and patients live longer, patients must cope with their treatment-induced adverse effects. Improving levels of physical activity (PA) and less amounts of sitting time (e.g. sedentary behavior, SB) could have a positive impact on patient's health, non-cancer mortality, and quality of life and potentially improve survival. The role of PA has not yet been examined in CRPC patients, which is a clear unmet need. No specific PA guidelines exist for CRPC patients, but specific guidelines are warranted because of advanced disease stage, reduced performance score and comorbidity. It is to be expected that the PA level of CRPC patients is lower compared to non-CRPC patients receiving androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). This study aims to determine the optimal starting physical therapy prescription in CRPC patients receiving second line hormone treatment.
Cancer is second leading cause of death worldwide. The psychological issues are related to all stages of the disease affecting outcome of treatment and overall quality of life. The study evaluated the effectiveness of yoga counselling among prostate cancer patients on their quality of life and psychological outcomes.
This phase II trial studies how well testosterone (enanthate or cypionate) and olaparib work in treating patients with prostate cancer that has progressed despite hormonal therapy. Hormonal therapy, such as leuprolide, may lessen the amount of male sex hormones made by the body. In patients that have developed progressive cancer in spite of standard hormonal treatment (i.e. castration-resistant prostate cancer), administering testosterone may result in regression of tumors by causing DNA damage in cancer cells that have adapted to low testosterone conditions. Olaparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes involved in repairing DNA damage. Therefore, giving testosterone and olaparib together may work better in treating castration-resistant prostate cancer by generating DNA damage that the cancer cell is unable to repair.
The objective of the study is to compare the evolution over 6 months of Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) among different age groups in subjects with prostate cancer treated with GnRH agonist therapy.
This phase II trial compares how well gallium 68-labeled PSMA-11 positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) works compared to fluciclovine F18 PET/CT in imaging participants with prostate cancer after surgery that has come back. PET is an established imaging technique that uses small amounts of radioactivity and CT images provide an exact outline of organs and potential inflammatory tissue where it occurs in the body. Diagnostic procedures, such as PET/CT with gallium 68-labeled PSMA-11, may work better than PET/CT with fluciclovine F18 in helping find out how far the prostate cancer has spread.
Recent pre-clinical work has suggested that Itraconazole has an anti-cancer effect that works synergistically with hydroxychloroquine. This may delay the need for androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and its associated toxicities in men with biochemically recurrent (BCR) prostate cancer. This study aims to determine feasibility, safety and efficacy of suba-itraconazole (SI) in combination with hydroxychloroquine (HQ) in the treatment of biochemically recurrent (BCR) prostate cancer as means of delaying time to commencement of androgen deprivation therapy.
