Filter by:Considering the promising results with hypofractionated in low and intermediate risk prostate cancer, our proposal is to translate this experience to patients with high risk prostate cancer. Patients with high risk disease would receive hypofractionated RT to the prostate and to the external and internal iliac lymph nodes using IMRT plus long-term hormonal therapy. The objective of the study is to show that long term grade>2 late toxicity is acceptable and similar to published data using hypofractionated technique in the prostate only.
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of the combination of apalutamide plus everolimus at different dose levels.
The purpose of this study is to develop a novel technique for integrated PET/MRI tracer kinetic analysis for urologic malignancy.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether DCVAC/PCa added onto Standard of Care therapy can improve survival times for patients with Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer
Recently, HDR brachytherapy delivering only a 19 Gy fraction was proposed as exclusive treatment for low and intermediate risk prostate cancers. With a median 3-year follow-up, the Spanish team reported a biochemical control rate of 100% and 87%, respectively, for low risk and intermediate risk tumors. In parallel with these encouraging results regarding biochemical control, the authors described excellent urinary and digestive tolerance, notably the absence of grade > 2 complications. However, it should be noted, in this study, that special protection was provided to the anterior aspect of the rectum by means of a 10 ml transperineal injection of hyaluronic acid into the prostate-rectal interspace. The idea of using a single high dose (in one fraction) was proposed at the MSKCC by the team of Fucks et al. which, in 2008, following a median 18-month follow-up, published a a 90% local control rate for spinal metastases after a single dose at 18 to 24 Gy. The aim of the present study is to analyze acute urinary and digestive toxicity (< 180 days) observed following interstitial high dose rate prostate brachytherapy delivering a total dose of 20 Gy in one fraction.
Today prostate cancer (PC) treatment with curative intent is primarily surgical removal of the prostate gland (prostatectomy) which may be associated with immediate and long lasting erectile dysfunction and decline in urinary function. Besides these physical late effects patients operated for PC have a twofold increased risk for depression up to ten years after the diagnosis. To reduce these late effects affecting both patient and partner the investigators have developed a sexual and urological intervention (PROCAN). The intervention is based on epidemiological data, evidence from previous clinical trials, a feasibility study and qualitative explorations among PC patients and partners. The investigators hereby suggest the conduction of a randomized controlled trial to test the effect of the PROCAN intervention on urological and sexual dysfunction, couples adjustment and quality of life. Results of the proposed trial may provide clinicians and decision makers with the evidence needed to optimize rehabilitation after PC.
The purpose of this study is to investigate if androgen deprivation therapy in men with prostate cancer increases hepatic fat content and changes visceral/subcutaneous fat distribution.
This is an open label study designed to examine the effects on concurrent administration of Radium Ra 223 dichloride and Abiraterone Acetate plus Prednisone in subjects with symptomatic castrate resistant prostate cancer and with bone metastases, in both the pre- and post- chemotherapy setting. Both medications are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for this indication.
This randomized phase II trial studies pomegranate-extract pill in preventing tumor growth in patients with prostate cancer that is limited to a certain part of the body (localized), who have chosen observation as their treatment plan. The use of pomegranate-extract pill may slow disease progression in patients with localized prostate cancer.
This is a phase II study which will test the study drug MLN0128 in patients with castration resistant prostate cancer who have received chemotherapy in the past. Phase II clinical trials test how well an investigational drug works in treating a specific cancer. "Investigational" means that the drug is still being studied and that research doctors are trying to find out more about it. MLN0128 is not approved by the FDA. The purpose of this study is to see what effects (good and bad) the study drug MLN0128 has on the patient and the cancer. MLN0128 is a drug that belongs to a class of drugs called "mTOR kinase inhibitors". A protein, called "mTOR" inside the cells in the body, plays a role in controlling how cells grow. In some cancer cells, mTOR may be over-active. This over-activity may cause some cancer cells to grow out of control. Research has shown that mTOR inhibitors can block this overactivity and may help stop or slow down the growth of some types of cancer cells.
