Filter by:Biomarkers from circulating cell-free tumor DNA in peripheral blood will identify patients with metastatic prostate cancer diagnosed with C11 choline PET/CT who will benefit from metastasis-directed radiation, ablative therapies, and/or surgery. Tissue and blood will be collected before treatment. If patients receive androgen deprivation, then blood will be collected after neoadjuvant androgen deprivation but before radiation, ablative therapies, or surgery. Subsequent samples will be obtained at 3 months and 6 months following treatment, after which no further patient contact will occur.
This study aims to assess the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of rectal swab culture-guided antimicrobial prophylaxis to reduce infectious complications after transrectal prostate biopsy. Half of participants will receive routine empirical prophylaxis with oral ciprofloxacin (control group), while the other half will receive rectal culture-guided oral antibiotic prophylaxis (intervention group). In the intervention group, men whose rectal swabs do not show ciprofloxacin-resistant bacteria will receive ciprofloxacin prophylaxis, comparable to the control group. In case of ciprofloxacin-resistant bacteria an alternative oral antibiotic based on the culture results will be prescribed (trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole, fosfomycin or pivmecillinam/augmentin). The investigators hypothesise that the targeted prophylaxis group (intervention group) will have a lower rate of post-biopsy infectious complications compared to the control group.
To evaluate the diagnostic performance and cost-effectiveness of the MRI-driven diagnostic pathway of prostate cancer, with upfront individual multivariate risk stratification.
This registry aims to evaluate the efficacy of Rad-223 treatment in a non-study population of CRPC patients treated earlier with Docetaxel and patients not treated earlier with Docetaxel and efficacy of the first subsequent therapy. The indication for treatment with Radium-223 will be at the physician's decision. All patients treated with Radium-223 can be included in this registry. The registry only dictates the collection of base line characteristics, expansion of regular blood tests and patient reported pain scores.
Radium-223 is the 5th treatment for metastasized castration resistant prostate cancer with a proven overall survival benefit. The improved survival of Radium-223 over placebo was demonstrated in the ALSYMPCA trial, which included a miscellaneous patient population both docetaxel pretreated and non-pretreated. This registry aims to describe non-study patients treated with Radium-223 and prospectively evaluate treatment outcomes of patients with and without docetaxel pretreatment. Analgesic use and patient reported pain scores, efficacy of the subsequent therapy and overall survival will be evaluated. Moreover, clinical and explorative serum and blood biomarkers of Radium-223 efficacy will be explored.
This study is looking to see if a new device, diffuse optical tomography (DOT), can detect prostate cancer. The investigators will also see if DOT can tell the difference between high risk and low risk prostate cancers.
The project aims at developing and structuring a network of clinicians, pathologists, and scientists, from the "Grand Ouest" area, most of them already involved in prostate cancer management and research. Patients treated by radical prostatectomy will be recruited within the ReSCaP network of clinicians, with centralized database and standardized bio-resource collection, including prostate and adipose tissue samples. Seven clinical centers will participate to the network, 6 recruiting mainly Caucasian patients, and 1 from the French West Indies recruiting mainly African Caribbean patients. After 18 months, 1000 patients will be included. The main goal is to study the relationships between adipose tissue/lipids and prostate cancer aggressiveness. In fact, adipose tissue is likely to be involved in cancer progression at many levels: abdominal obesity has been associated with aggressive disease, and poly-unsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), as well as cytokines produced by adipocytes (adipokines) have an impact on cancer cells growth and migration in vitro. Moreover, adipose tissue is the preferential site of storage of persistent organic pollutants with estrogenic properties, which could impact cancer progression. The study will analyze the association between adipose tissue (distant from the prostate) composition and cancer aggressiveness. Among the 1000 patients, 100 aggressive tumors will be selected according to the d'Amico criteria (Gleason score 8 or more and/or pT3 tumors). They will be matched with 100 potentially indolent prostate cancers (Gleason 6 or less, and PSA less than 10, and pT2 stage on the surgical specimen). These 200 adipose tissue samples will be analyzed for 1/ the lipid profile, including the fatty acid composition, particularly PUFAs, that reflects past dietary fat intake, 2/ adipokine expression, and 3/ tissue concentrations of persistent organic pollutants belonging to the class of organochlorine pesticides with hormone-like activity.
68Ga-PSMA is a radiopharmaceutical used with PET imaging for the detection of prostate cancer under a compassionate IND in patients who have presented with biochemical failure. In this study, the use of 68Ga-PSMA-11 will be extended to newly diagnosed patients with high risk prostate cancer. Patients enrolled to this study will undergo a 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET/CT or PET/MRI scan for research purposes (in addition to the routine CT or MRI that is routinely done for staging), and a second 68Ga-PSMA-11 administration just prior to surgery for experimental ex-vivo beta probe testing of resected tissue. Immediately following resection of the prostate, the intact tissue will be scanned using a PET camera designed for animal research in order to record the 68Ga-PSMA-11 distribution in the isolated tissue at higher resolution than can be attained using whole-body PET imaging. The experimental beta probe will then be use to measure 68Ga-PSMA-11 counts of the resected tissue.
This was a placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized trial designed with the aim of establishing whether curcumin influenced the duration of treatment interruption and rate of prostatic specific antigen(PSA) progression, compared with placebo among men with prostate cancer receiving intermittent androgen deprivation therapy.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety in patients with prostate cancer receiving the drug in the routine clinical setting.
