This study evaluates the use of chemotherapy with cabazitaxel in addition to abiraterone acetate, prednisone, and leuprolide in neoadjuvant setting prior to radical prostatectomy in patients with high-risk prostate carcinoma. Half of the participants will receive treatment with abiraterone acetate, prednisone, leuprolide, and cabazitaxel, while the other half will receive only abiraterone acetate, prednisone, and leuprolide.
The intention of this study is to investigate how many patients with prostate cancer, planned to be treated with LHRH analogues without history of surgery or radiotherapy, are suffering from LUTS. In addition the effect of LHRH analogues on the improvement of theses primary LUTS symptoms over time will be investigated.
There is evidence in human studies as well as animal studies that treatments to lower cholesterol can reduce the risk of dying from prostate cancer.To decide if cholesterol-lowering therapy can slow the growth of prostate cancer, the investigators would like to lower cholesterol prior to surgery and then measure the growth of prostate cancers cells when the prostate has been removed. The investigators will use the combination of two drugs that is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to lower cholesterol. The drug combination is commercially available with a doctor's prescription and sold as Vytorin®. It is known that maximal cholesterol-lower effects are seen after 2 weeks of treatment with Vytorin®. Therefore, study patients receive at least 2 weeks, but no more than 6 weeks of Vytorin® prior to surgery.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of niclosamide when given together with enzalutamide in treating patients with castration resistant prostate cancer that has spread from the primary site to other places in the body. Androgens such as testosterone can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Drugs like enzalutamide block androgens from driving tumor growth; however, when androgen receptor splice variants are present, these drugs may not be effective. Niclosamide may decrease the amount of androgen receptor splice variant present within tumor cells, thus promoting the anti-tumor effects of enzalutamide. Giving niclosamide together with enzalutamide may be a better treatment for prostate cancer.
The purpose of this trial is to compare the severity of ISRs (Injection Site Reactions) following degarelix subcutaneous (s.c.) administrations with two different injection techniques and intramuscular (i.m.) administration in patients with hormone dependent prostate cancer.
Urinary incontinence and impotence are typical disturbances after radical prostatectomy. Although, several surgical methods are developed to decrease these disturbances, 8% and 50% of the patients suffer from permanent urinary incontinence and impotence, respectively. Previously two studies have shown that endopelvic fascia preservation may decrease postoperative incontinence and impotence rates. Unfortunately these studies are retrospective decreasing their reliability. The present study is prospective and randomized clinical trial. The investigators are going to randomize 180 patient to preservation and opening the endopelvic fascia groups. Functional and oncological results are followed up to 1 year after surgery.
Traditionally the watertightness of urethrovesical anastomosis after robotic radical prostatectomy is controlled by cystogram. However, clinical observations and one previous study showed that patients with anastomotic leakage have red coloured urine. If the investigators can verify this finding, the most of the cystograms can be avoided. In this study the investigators estimate urine colour after cystogram and take a picture from urine collecting pag. Later on the pictures are digitally analyzed and compared to cystogram finding.
The goal of the study is to provide a detailed description of treatments for CRPC (Castrate Resistant Prostate Cancer) patients with bone metastases and the resource utilization and costs associated with that diagnosis and subsequent treatments.
Merge the data of ultrasound with that of the anatomical and functional MRI is necessary since the high dose rate Curietherapy is carried out under ultrasound guidance. The investigators will recruit prostate cancer patients to evaluate the quality of the data, their sensitivity to exam conditions (patient position, volume of endorectal probe, gold grains implanted before intensity modulated radiotherapy , IMRT) and to merge data from different sources with the purpose of estimating the opportunities of integration treatment plan for Curietherapy broadband. The nuclear magnetic resonance imaging provides precise anatomical study, but also provides access to a functional approach to the tumor mapping of water diffusion coefficient (DW-MRI), for dynamic imaging with injection contrast agent (DCE-MRI) and finally by spectroscopic imaging (IRMS). This multimodality imaging project is part of a multidisciplinary context, involving close collaboration between clinicians, medical physicists, and physicists of the teams participating in this project (Institut Gustave Roussy and U2R2M-CIERM hospital Kremlin-Bicetre).
