Filter by:In this observational study, blood samples for pharmacokinetic (PK) testing will be collected from subjects with metastatic prostate cancer during their treatment with docetaxel. Plasma levels of docetaxel will be determined, and the subjects docetaxel exposure levels, determined as an area under the curve (AUC), will be retrospectively correlated with reports of toxicity, tumor response, quality of life, time to disease progression and overall survival to provide guidance on what the appropriate target range for docetaxel exposure should be for metastatic prostate cancer subjects receiving docetaxel therapy for their disease.
Clinical trials are critical to informing the care of patients with cancer. However, only 3-5% of patients with cancer enroll in clinical trials. Poor accrual to trials has major implications with regards to the pace of progress, the cost of clinical cancer research, and the generalizability of results. The investigators have recently shown in an analysis of 7,776 cancer clinical trials registered on clinicaltrials.gov that approximately 20% of cancer clinical trials fail to complete enrollment at all; the most often cited reason was poor accrual. Prior research has identified barriers to cancer clinical trial accrual that can be generally categorized in the domains of availability, awareness, and acceptance. Much attention has been paid to the barriers involvement awareness and acceptance - however, trial availability is likely a "rate limiting step". This pilot study is the first in a series of planned steps to attempt to shift the current paradigm of "bringing patients to trials" to "bringing trials to patients." With the integration of telemedicine visits, the investigators aim to decrease the burden of participation for patients, begin to address geographic barriers, and ultimately improve trial accrual. In this study, men with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer (a rising PSA after definitive local therapy) will receive the antidiabetic drug, metformin. Patients will require a single on-site visit for study enrollment. The remainder of the 6 month study will be conducted via a HIPPA secure telemonitoring system (monthly visits conducted via telemedicine with tablet computers provided to each patients).
The purpose of this study is to temporally evaluate the impact of abiraterone acetate (ZYTIGA) therapy on Patient Reported Outcomes (PROs) and on clinical outcomes in the chemotherapy-naive metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) population. Safety data, levels of health care resource utilization associated with abiraterone acetate (ZYTIGA) therapy will also be prospectively collected and analyzed.
The primary objectives of this study are to investigate the safety and tolerability of BAY 1841788 in Japanese subjects with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and the PK of BAY 1841788 and its major metabolite BAY 1896953.
Background: - Few studies or literature are available about the long-term safety of repeated peptide vaccinations in people over a period of time. Long-term vaccination may be needed to control tumors. Researchers gave a group of men a series of vaccine injections over 2 years. Now they want to give those same men the new version of the vaccine. They want to see if it produces different types of immune responses and also ensure that repeated vaccinations are safe. Objectives: - To find out the long-term safety of repeated T-cell receptor alternate reading frame protein (TARP) peptide vaccinations. Eligibility: - Men who took part in National Cancer Institute (NCI) protocol 09-C-0139. Design: - Participants will be screened with blood tests, scans, physical exam, medical history, and an evaluation of how well they perform everyday activities. - Participants will have apheresis. Blood will be removed with a needle from one arm. A machine will separate the white blood cells. The blood, minus the white cells, will be returned through a needle in the other arm. - Participants will have 14 visits. At each visit, they will have a physical exam and blood tests. They will discuss any side effects. - Participants will get vaccine injections at weeks 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and 24. The vaccine will be made from the participants own cells. - Participants will get a Vaccine Report Card to complete after receiving vaccine. - The study lasts 96 weeks.
The goal of this clinical study is to determine the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and activity of once-daily (QD) oral dosing of VT-464, a lyase-selective inhibitor of CYP17, in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).
This is an open-label pilot, feasibility/exploratory study to evaluate the safety of laser interstitial thermal therapy (LITT) using Visualase in the focal ablation of prostate tissue and to gather data for the design of future studies. Intra-procedure temperature and concurrent rectal wall thermistor monitoring will be performed for internal validation. Subjects will be monitored for adverse events, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) questionnaires will be obtained. Post-treatment MRI and biopsies will be obtained to evaluate histologic and radiologic changes. Biomarker (PSA, PCA3 and PHI) kinetics will also be monitored.
The purpose is to determine if use of rectal spacers are effective at improving protection of rectum from high dose radiation, using rate of rectal ulceration as a surrogate measure of acute effects. It is also to determine whether it provides sufficient dosimetric benefits to warrant further clinical investigation in future SABR (Stereotactic Ablative Body Radiation) related clinical studies.
This is a pilot exercise physiology and quality of life study of subjects receiving standard of care therapy for their prostate cancer using FDA-approved drugs per their labeling (abiraterone, enzalutamide, or sipuleucel-T). Subjects with progressive, asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic mCRPC scheduled to be treated with either enzalutamide or abiraterone acetate for ≥3 months or a course of sipuleucel-T will be allocated to one of the treatments arms, according to the treatment chosen by the treating physician.
The purpose of this study is to compare the diagnostic performance of [89Zr]-Df-IAB2M PET/CT with that of [111In]-capromab pendetide as an immuno PET tracer in the detection of prostate cancer pre-prostatectomy as confirmed by pathology. Individuals participating in this study will have a [111In]-capromab pendetide scan, as well as a PET scan following the injection of [89Zr]-Df-IAB2M.
