Filter by:The main purpose is to compare the detection rate of 20-core versus 12-core prostate biopsy. The secondary objective is to evaluate pain perception using a validated scale to compare the analgesia provided by the two different local anesthesia schemes. Data will be prospectively collected from patients who will undergo prostate biopsy in a single high volume urology center. The patients will be randomized to two different biopsy samplings and two local anesthesia schemes.
Patients with prostate cancer undergoing robot assisted radical laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) in steep Trendelenburg position (sTBURG) are noted to have elevated intraocular pressures (IOP) intraoperatively. One study showed an increase in IOP of 13 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) from baseline IOP levels intraoperatively. Other studies have shown the IOP to more than double intraoperatively during RALP in sTBURG. IOP is found to be directly related to angle of inclination and increases time dependently with sTBURG. The IOP may remain significantly elevated until the first postoperative day after RALP. There are no previously published data concerning the safe threshold for IOP elevation and the effects of this increased IOP on vision and on generalized eye health are still not entirely known. One study showed postoperative visual field defects in 28% (7/25) of patients who underwent RALP in sTBURG. It has been theorized that sTBURG and subsequent increased IOP are risk factors for postoperative vision loss (PVL). It is believed that the increased IOP decreases optic nerve perfusion pressure causing ischemic optic neuropathy. Some previously recommended ways to reduce the intraoperative IOP spike during RALP include shorter operating times, decreased angle of inclination, modified Trendelenburg position, use of Propofol for maintenance anaesthesia and intraoperative topical hypotensive agents to reduce IOP. Given the challenges with some of the above options, this study aims to evaluate the effect of pre-operative treatment with topical Brimonidine Tartrate 0.2% on the IOP of patients undergoing RALP with sTBURG. The goal is to prevent the anticipated IOP spike thereby reducing risk of postoperative vision loss.
Castration-resistant prostate cancer patients with rising prostatic specific antigen (PSA) are eligible for this study. 11C-Choline PET/CT will be used to identify metastatic lesions. Patients with <=3 metastatic lesions will receive stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) as definitive treatment. Blood draws will be taken to monitor the development of anti-prostate cancer immunity
The aim of the study is to assess the clinical utility of 11C or 18F-Choline Positron Emission Tomography (PET)/Computed Tomography (CT) scan, Whole Body Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) versus conventional bone scan and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) measurements in response prediction to treatment with Enzalutamide in Hormono-Sensitive Metastatic Prostate Cancer patients. The study will assess how these 2 imaging modalities perform compared to traditional serial PSA measurements and bone scan in assessing metastatic tumour load, progressive disease and response to treatment with Enzalutamide. In addition measurements of serially collected circulating tumour cell (CTC) samples, cell-free tumour DNA and RNA will be performed in order to evaluate their predictive value in terms of response measurement.
The aim of the study is to assess the clinical utility of 18F-fluoro-deoxyglucose Positron Emission Tomography (PET)/Computed Tomography (CT) and Whole Body Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) versus conventional bone scan and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) measurements in response prediction to treatment with Enzalutamide in castration-resistant prostate cancer patients.

This study is designed to assess the safety and tolerability of atezolizumab when given in combination with radium-223 dichloride in participants with metastatic CRPC who have progressed after treatment with an androgen pathway inhibitor. This adaptive design study includes a cohort phase and a potential randomization phase. An initial concurrent dosing evaluation will evaluate the safety and tolerability of a treatment regimen that employs a concurrent start time for atezolizumab and radium-223 dichloride (Cohort 1). If concurrent dosing is found to be safe and tolerable in Cohort 1, additional participants will be enrolled and eligible participants will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to Arms A, B, and C. If concurrent dosing is not tolerated in Cohort 1, new participants will be enrolled in a staggered dosing evaluation: Cohort 2 (28-day radium-223 dichloride run-in, atezolizumab will begin on Day 1 of Cycle 2) and Cohort 3 (56-day radium-223 dichloride run-in, atezolizumab will begin on Day 1 of Cycle 3). If the Cohort 2 schedule is tolerable, then additional participants will be enrolled using this treatment schedule; If the Cohort 2 schedule is not tolerable, subsequent participants will be enrolled in Cohort 3. If the Cohort 3 schedule is tolerable, then additional participants will be enrolled using this treatment schedule. If Cohort 3 schedule is not tolerable, no additional participant will be enrolled in the study.
The purpose of this observational study of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) participants is to explore whether or not there are differences between participants treated with abiraterone acetate and enzalutamide on the health-related quality of life (HRQoL), Fatigue, Pain, Cognitive function and medical resource use (MRU).
In this study 30 men, with advanced metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) planned to have hormonal treatment, will undergo conventional imaging and functional imaging prior to treatment and post treatment to determine if changes in imaging results will be prognostic of outcome. Patients will have a clinical follow-up every 3 months post randomization for one year and followed for survival at Years 2 and 3.
The purpose of the study is to determine, whether the postoperative quality of micturition and continence can be improved depending on the urinary drainage catheter and retention after robot assisted radical prostatectomy. Another finding could be the study of the pain assessment of the patient, as well as the pain medication at the various derivatives. Further check whether infections and the presence of bacteriuria can be reduced or avoided by the form of urinary drainage.
The primary purpose of this study was to compare the time to prostate cancer progression (pathological or therapeutic progression) between patients treated with enzalutamide versus patients undergoing active surveillance.
