Filter by:This phase IV clinical trial investigates the impact of prostate cancer treatment, specifically androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), on the heart and coronary vessels among men with localized, non-metastatic prostate cancer undergoing definitive radiation therapy and concomitant ADT. Recently, cardiovascular toxicity from hormone therapy that is routinely used for prostate cancer (e.g. leuprolide) has emerged as a concern, yet studies identifying who is at risk and the mechanism of cardiac damage are lacking. Additionally, a new hormone therapy drug, relugolix, has recently been Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved and may reduce toxicity to the heart. This trial intends to investigate the mechanism of cardiovascular toxicity from ADT, investigate the mechanism by which relugolix reduces cardiovascular toxicity, and identify predictive biomarkers to improve individualized risk-assessment for cardiovascular toxicity from ADT.
The purpose of this study is to learn whether adding abemaciclib to abiraterone plus prednisone prolongs the time before prostate cancer gets worse. Participation may last approximately 60 months.
Doctors leading this study plan to collect new information about the lowest effective dose of abiraterone acetate in study participants with prostate cancer who are taking abiraterone in combination with prednisone for the first time. The duration of this study will be about 3 months (12 weeks). How long you stay on abiraterone, and at what dose after completion of the 12 weeks of study drug administration, will be up to you and your treating physician.
External radiation techniques (EBRT) is considered one of the primary therapies for patients of all risk classifications of prostate cacer . EBRT aims to control tumor growth while keeping acute and late adverse events to a minimum and ensuring biochemical progression-free outcome
The primary objective of the study is to estimate the antitumor efficacy of nanrilkefusp alfa in combination with pembrolizumab in selected tumors.
This phase II trial examines antiandrogen therapy interruptions in patients with hormone-sensitive prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic) responding exceptionally well to androgen receptor-pathway inhibitor therapy. The usual treatment for patients with metastatic prostate cancer is to receive hormonal medications including a medication to decrease testosterone levels in the body and a potent oral hormonal medication to block growth signals from male hormones (like testosterone) in the cancer cells. Patients whose cancer is responding exceptionally well to this therapy may take a break from these medications according to their doctor's guidance. This trial may help doctors determine if stopping treatment can allow for testosterone recovery.
Approximately 50-60% of men undergoing salvage brachytherapy post cancer recurrence to the prostate have the disease controlled at 5 years. This study aims to integrate a local treatment to the prostate (brachytherapy) with a treatment involving 177Lutetium (Lu)- Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) therapy. Differently than brachytherapy, 177-Lutetium-PSMA is thought to have its effect not only to the cancer cells within the prostate, but also to cancer cells located elsewhere in the body. Thus, the idea here is that by adding 177Lutetium (Lu)- PSMA early in the course of treatment we may be able to inactivate potential metastatic cells outside the prostate, while the prostate cancer within this organ still treated by the combination of brachytherapy and 177-Lutetium-PSMA.
This phase II trial studies the effect of rectal spacer hydrogel before radiation therapy in reducing radiation dose to the rectum in patients with prostate cancer. Rectal spacer hydrogen is a soft gel material used to create a space between the rectum and prostate during radiation treatment. The rectal spacer gel is made up of 90% water and 10% polyethylene glycol and is injected as a liquid through a needle inserted between the rectum and prostate. It stays in place for about 3 months and is naturally absorbed into the body and removed through urine in about 6 months. By pushing the prostate further from the rectum with the hydrogel, it may help spare the rectum from receiving radiation during standard of care stereotactic body radiation therapy and brachytherapy treatment.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of fluzoparib combined with abiraterone in neoadjuvant treatment of patients with high-risk locoregional prostate cancer. Dr. Yao Zhu from Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center is the co-leading PI of this study.
A Multi-Center, Open-Label, Randomized Phase 3 Trial Comparing the Safety and Efficacy of 177Lu-PSMA-I&T versus Hormone Therapy in Patients with Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer.
