Filter by:Focal treatment of localized prostate cancer aims to destroy the cancerous foci without damaging surrounding tissues to avoid the side effects of radical treatments. This is why focal treatment is positioned as an alternative to radical surgery as well as an alternative to active surveillance. This study is a feasibility study. It aims at treating the index tumor (the most aggressive one) which determines the vital prognosis of patient, while preserving the maximum surrounding prostatic tissue to preserve quality of life. The expected result is the total destruction of aggressive tumor areas by focal or multifocal treatment strategy using the Focal One® device (EDAP-TMS, Vaulx-en-Velin, France). The tumor destruction is validated by the negative biopsy rate between 6 and 12 months post-treatment.
This diagnostic clinical trial will be conducted according to a randomized, prospective, controlled, double-arm, single-centre design. The control will be implemented by comparing the PET/MRI results with the histopathological finding after radical prostatectomy (positive state), the assumed absence of a relevant prostate cancer focus if PET/MRI guided biopsy and standard biopsy are negative (negative state) and/or the detection of a biochemical tumor relapse [rising prostate specific antigen (PSA) after PSA nadir; secondary objective].
The Wnt proteins belong to a family of proteins that have been demonstrated to play a role in the formation and dissemination of tumours. The present project focuses on the critical role of the Wnt-5a protein in the pathobiological processes that lead to metastatic cancer disease. WntResearch has identified a formylated 6 amino acid peptide fragment, named Foxy-5, which mimick the effects of Wnt-5a to impair migration of epithelial cancer cells and thereby acting anti-metastatic. The aim of the first clinical phase I study was to establish the recommended dose for a clinical phase II study and enable further development of Foxy-5 as a first in class anti-metastatic cancer drug. The study did not see any DLTs and therefore failed to reach maximum tolerated dose (MTD); no recommended phase II dose (RP2D) could therefore be established based on toxicity. The aim of this study is to continue to establish the safety profile of Foxy-5 in higher doses, and determine the RP2D for later stage development based on any observed DLT's/MTD and further analysis of the pharmacodynamic profile of Foxy-5 to determine the biological response dose (BRD).
This is a phase 1/1b open-label, multicenter, dose-selection study of ciforadenant, an oral small molecule targeting the adenosine-A2A receptor on T-lymphocytes and other cells of the immune system. This trial will study the safety, tolerability, and anti-tumor activity of ciforadenant as a single agent and in combination with atezolizumab, a PD-L1 inhibitor against various solid tumors. Ciforadenant blocks adenosine from binding to the A2A receptor. Adenosine suppresses the anti-tumor activity of T cells and other immune cells.
Phase I single-blinded, randomized, placebo-controlled trial evaluating safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of single injections of ascending doses of investigational drug product Mobilan (М-VM3) administered directly into the prostate of patients with prostate cancer.
Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) is a method of delivering radiation which can target the tumor more precisely and cause less damage to normal tissue. This is a Phase I research study looking at the safety of the dose of SBRT in organ confined prostate cancer.
Retrospective study to analyze Quality of life in men after iodine seed brachytherapy for localized prostate cancer
Primary purpose: Complications and rehospitalizations after transperineal prostate biopsy MRI-guided are reduced than transrectal prostate biopsies. Secondary purposes: - Patients tolerance after transperineal prostate biopsy MRI-guided is better than after transrectal prostate biopsies. - Core of transperineal prostate biopsies are better than core of transrectal prostate biopsies - Study of correlation between radiologic images and anatomopathologic result - Description of needle track during the procedure - Description of real time template saturation prostate biopsy - Comparison of transperineal prostate biopsy relevance according to EBM - Comparison of 1.5T MRI and 3T MRI for prostate cancer detection
Background: Some people who have been treated for prostate cancer still have high prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. This may indicate cancer. These people have non-metastatic castration sensitive prostate cancer (nmCSPC) or biochemical recurrent prostate cancer. Researchers think the immune system can be taught to fight and kill cancer cells. They think an immunotherapy vaccine called prostvac could help reduce PSA levels in people with this type of prostate cancer. Objective: To test if prostvac can decrease tumor growth rate as measured by PSA compared to getting surveillance alone. Eligibility: Men ages 18 or older who have nmCSPC or biochemical recurrent prostate cancer Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Blood and urine tests Bone scan Computed tomography (CT) scan, or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET) scan: They lie in a machine that takes pictures of the body. Electrocardiogram: Soft electrodes are stuck to the skin to record heart signals. Participants will be part of 1 of 2 arms: Arm A will get prostvac for 6 months. Arm B will have surveillance for 6 months followed by prostvac for 6 months. During the prostvac period, participants will get prostvac as a shot under the skin on weeks 1, 3, and 5, and then monthly for a total of 5 months. Participants will have follow-up visits at least every month until they recover from prostvac side effects or their cancer worsens. Visits may include repeats of screening tests. Participants will be followed for up to 15 years. They will have a physical exam every year for the first 5 years. They will have phone calls once a year.
This pilot trial studies how well nanoparticle albumin-bound rapamycin works in treating patients with cancer that as has spread to other places in the body and usually cannot be cured or controlled with treatment (advanced cancer) and that has an abnormality in a protein called mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR). Patients with this mutation are identified by genetic testing. Patients then receive nanoparticle albumin-bound rapamycin, which may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking the mTOR enzyme, which is needed for cell growth and multiplication. Using treatments that target a patient's specific mutation may be a more effective treatment than the standard of care treatment.
