Filter by:This pilot clinical trial studies the best dose of anti-prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) monoclonal antibody MDX1201-A488 (MDX1201-A488) given before surgery to aid in visualization of the prostate. Attaching a fluorescence, a substance that emits radiation that is visible, to the anti-PMSA antibody and injecting it into the body may help identify the tumor when specialized microscopes are used.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best way to give enzalutamide, radiation therapy, and hormone therapy in treating patients with intermediate or high-risk prostate cancer. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Antihormone therapy, such as enzalutamide, may lessen the amount of androgens made by the body. Radiation therapy uses high energy x rays to kill tumor cells. Giving enzalutamide, radiation therapy, and hormone therapy may be an effective treatment for prostate cancer.
This pilot clinical trial studies fludeoxyglucose F18 (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) in imaging patients with prostate cancer treated with ranolazine. Diagnostic procedures, such as FDG-PET, may help find prostate cancer and find out how far the disease has spread. Giving ranolazine may enhance FDG-PET imaging by increasing the amount of glucose available for uptake by the scan.
Docetaxel is the standard, first-line chemotherapeutic agent for castrate resistant prostate cancer. While it has clinically useful activity, there is a strong need for substantial improvement in its efficacy. Possible ways for improving docetaxel monotherapy would be to combine it with an agent that either minimized toxicity (thus allowing higher doses) or improves efficacy (by targeting synergistic pathways). Lycopene is an attractive agent for combination with docetaxel because of its known accumulation in prostate tissue, its low toxicity, and its ability to inhibit signaling through the IGF-1 axis, and to reduce IL6 levels. Lycopene is highly synergistic with docetaxel at inhibiting the growth of prostate cancer in mice. The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of lycopene given in combination with docetaxel. This dose can then be used for subsequent phase II or phase III studies. New findings from the ECOG E3805 study presented at ASCO 2014, showed that concurrent chemotherapy with first-line ADT for newly diagnosed metastatic prostate cancer markedly improved overall survival compared with delayed or no chemotherapy. These subjects could also benefit from intervention to increase docetaxel effectiveness.
This randomized phase III trial studies enzalutamide to see how well it works compared to enzalutamide, abiraterone, and prednisone in treating patients with castration-resistant metastatic prostate cancer. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Drugs, such as enzalutamide, abiraterone acetate, and prednisone, may lessen the amount of androgens made by the body.
The purpose of this study is to see how long it takes for prostate cancer to come back in patients who have had surgery to remove their prostate gland (radical prostatectomy), while being treated with enzalutamide (formerly known as MDV3100). Enzalutamide is known as an androgen-receptor signaling inhibitor, which means that it blocks activity of the male hormone, testosterone. Most prostate cancers are dependent on testosterone for growth. In this study, patients will take enzalutamide after surgery to see if it keeps their cancer from coming back.
This randomized pilot phase I trial studies the side effects of dietary fat levels and abiraterone acetate uptake in patients with metastatic hormone-resistant prostate cancer. Abiraterone acetate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Eating a low or high fat diet may increase the uptake of abiraterone acetate.
This randomized pilot phase I trial will evaluate if quercetin enhances the uptake of green tea polyphenols in the prostate tissue of men taking green tea extract and undergoing radical prostatectomy. Side effects of green tea extract and quercetin in combination with green tea extract will also be evaluated. In preclinical studies, green tea polyphenols have anticancer and cancer preventative effects in a number of malignancies. Likewise, in preclinical studies quercetin was found to enhance the anticancer effects of green tea. This trial is designed to translate these findings forward in a short-term human intervention trial.
This phase II trial evaluated the impact of giving docetaxel together with lycopene supplements in treating patients with hormone-resistant prostate cancer not previously treated with chemotherapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Chemoprevention is the use of certain drugs, such as lycopene, to keep cancer from forming. Giving docetaxel together with lycopene may be an effective treatment for prostate cancer.
This phase II trial studies how well orteronel works in treating patients with metastatic hormone-resistant prostate cancer. Orteronel may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.
