Filter by:The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether a tumor test recently developed by GenomeDx Biosciences known as Decipher® can predict aggressive prostate cancer with the same accuracy in African-American men (AAM) as in non-African-American men (NAAM). The Decipher® test was developed from samples derived mainly from men of European origins and little is known about its performance in AAM. It is important to study whether this test can be used in AAM who are known to experience the highest rates of prostate cancer as well as death from prostate cancer. The use of the Decipher® test result to predict how well a patient will do before treatment may make it possible for doctors to distinguish aggressive disease from low risk prostate cancer and modify treatment accordingly. Thus, patients that do not need additional therapies may be spared from unnecessary side effects and those that are at risk may be provided with more aggressive therapy to improve survival. This study is being done to learn whether the Decipher test can really affect these outcomes.
Learning about the impact of anti-androgen treatment has on cardiac function in patients with prostate cancer may help plan treatment and help patients live more comfortably. This pilot clinical trial will utilize cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before a patient starts hormone therapy and after 4 to 7 months of hormone therapy. The objective is to measure the impact of hormone therapy (anti-androgen treatment) on cardiac function in patients with prostate cancer.
This randomized phase II trial studies the side effects and how well abiraterone acetate, prednisone, and apalutamide work with or without ipilimumab or cabazitaxel and carboplatin in treating patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Drugs, such as abiraterone acetate and apalutamide may lessen the amount of androgens made by the body. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as prednisone, cabazitaxel, and carboplatin work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. It is not yet known whether giving abiraterone acetate, prednisone, and apalutamide with or without ipilimumab or cabazitaxel and carboplatin may be a better way to treat patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body.
This study will offer men with intermediate risk prostate cancer who are suitable for, and interested in, prostate brachytherapy, the opportunity to be randomized between low dose rate (LDR) brachytherapy using permanent implantation of radioactive seeds (the current standard of care in BC) and high dose rate (HDR) or temporary brachytherapy which is also available as a standard of care in BC but only when used as a boost in addition with external beam radiotherapy. In addition, men will be offered the opportunity for testing the aggressiveness of their cancer using Cell Cycle Progression Gene Profile.
This study evaluates the tolerability, safety, pharmacokinetics and efficacy of SHR3680 in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCPRC). All participants will receive SHR3680.
There are several new therapies available to treat men with advanced prostate cancer; however, the decision making tools needed to determine the best treatment for these patients are noticeably absent. The prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is increasingly being recognized as an important target for prostate cancer imaging and determining the most effective therapy. Accordingly, a wide variety of agents are being used to image PSMA. One of these agents is 18F-DCFPyL. In this study the investigators will image men with advanced prostate cancer using 18F-DCFPyL and a positron emission computed tomography (PET/CT) scanner. The investigators will compare the results of 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT for the detection of metastases and monitoring the effects of therapy with conventional imaging (CT, bone scan) and clinical follow-up. In this way, the investigators will evaluate the benefit of using 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT to decide what is the best treatment strategy for a man with advanced prostate cancer.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of enzalutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) as measured by radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) based on central review. The study also evaluated the safety of enzalutamide plus ADT in mHSPC.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether adjuvant radiotherapy following radical prostatectomy in prostate cancer patients with positive margins or capsular penetration improves biochemical, overall and/or cancer specific survival and whether adjuvant radiotherapy is reasonably well tolerated when compared to watchful waiting.
This study is being conducted to collect and analyze biospecimens (blood and urine) and clinical data from patients with prostate cancer as well as healthy volunteers to better understand the differences between cancer cells and normal tissues with the goal of developing a better way to detect and track the treatment of prostate cancer. - These samples are being collected to conduct research to accomplish the goal of improving cancer therapies, biomarkers, and hopefully lead to more effective treatment of prostate cancer. - The samples that you are providing as a patient with prostate cancer will be used in future research. - Your biospecimens will be compared to the cancer and normal volunteer specimens from other participants to understand genetic differences between normal and cancer cells. Genetic material, including DNA and RNA, will be obtained from samples, stored, and used for evaluation. - Clinical information and samples will be collected and stored for ongoing research. This is a necessity because improved diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of cancer in the future depend upon the ongoing analysis of basic research findings and clinical outcomes. This type of research may improve the lives of future patients with cancer. Men between the ages of 18 and 100 with a diagnosis of cancer undergoing standard therapy with radiation may join.
Background: Metastatic castrate-sensitive prostate cancer is cancer that has spread beyond the prostate area. It can be controlled by lowering the amount of testosterone in the body. This is called androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). The vaccine PROSTVAC might help the immune system kill cancer cells. Researchers want to add PROSTVAC and docetaxel chemotherapy to ADT. They think this may work better against prostate cancer than ADT alone. Objective: To test if adding PROSTVAC and docetaxel to ADT works better against prostate cancer than ADT alone. Eligibility: Men ages 18 years and over with metastatic castrate-sensitive prostate cancer Design: Participants will be screened with: Physical exam Medical history Blood tests Possible computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or bone scan: Participants lie in a machine. The machine takes pictures of the body. Electrocardiogram: Soft electrodes are stuck to the skin to record heart signals. Participants will have 2 optional tumor biopsies during the study. Participants will join 1 of 2 groups. Both groups will get: ADT Docetaxel by vein Steroids by mouth or vein before each docetaxel infusion PROSTVAC injection Both groups first have ADT. One to 4 months after, they have: Group A: Docetaxel every 3 weeks for 6 cycles PROSTVAC 3 weeks after the last infusion Booster injections 2 weeks later and then every 3 weeks, for 6 boosters total Group B: PROSTVAC Booster 2 weeks later Docetaxel hours later Docetaxel and the booster every 3 weeks for 6 cycles Participants will have a visit 4-5 weeks after the last treatment. They will then have visits every 12 weeks. Participants will be followed for up to 15 years. This includes physical exams every year for 5 years.
