Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to find out if a new anti-cancer drug, dasatinib (Sprycel®), previously approved for treatment of some forms of leukemia, will be safe and helpful in treating patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer. This is a research study because the study drug, dasatinib (Sprycel®), has not been evaluated for safety or effectiveness in patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer. The drug is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for treatment of some forms of leukemia; thus, dasatinib (Sprycel®) is not an investigational drug. It has been given safely to hundreds of patients already. However its safety and usefulness in this study population (prostate cancer) is unknown. Subjects who agree to participate will take 150mg (3 pills) of dasatinib (Sprycel®) daily by mouth for as long as the drug benefits them. During this time, the subject will periodically return to the office for blood/urine tests, X-rays, imaging scans, and/or to complete questionnaires.
This single arm, multicenter, open-label, Phase II study will enroll chemotherapy-naive participants with metastatic, histologically-confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate (stage M1 D2). Treatment will continue until there is evidence of disease progression, intolerable toxicity, or other withdrawal criteria are met. Non-surgically castrated participants must continue the use of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists during protocol treatment.
This phase II trial is studying sorafenib tosylate and gene expression in patients undergoing surgery for high-risk localized prostate cancer. Sorafenib tosylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Studying samples of blood and tumor tissues in the laboratory from patients with prostate cancer may help doctors learn more about changes that occur in DNA after treatment with sorafenib tosylate
Green tea extract contains ingredients that may prevent or slow the growth of prostate cancer. This phase I trial is studying how well green tea extract works in treating patients with prostate cancer undergoing surgery to remove the prostate
This randomized phase II trial studies how well different doses of lycopene work in treating patients undergoing radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer. The use of lycopene, a substance found in tomatoes, may keep prostate cancer from growing or coming back after surgery.
Giving diindolylmethane, a substance found in cruciferous vegetables, may help doctors learn more about how diindolylmethane is used by the body. This randomized phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of diindolylmethane compared with a placebo in treating patients undergoing radical prostatectomy for stage I or stage II prostate cancer.
This randomized phase II trial studies how well finasteride works in treating patients with stage II prostate cancer who are undergoing surgery. Testosterone can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Hormone therapy using finasteride may fight prostate cancer by lowering the amount of testosterone the body makes. Giving finasteride before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.
Purpose: To determine the efficacy of BAY 43-9006 in combination with bicalutamide in patients with chemo-naïve hormone-refractory prostate cancer. Hypothesis: That there will be PSA response when BAY 43-9006 in combination with bicalutamide is given to patients with chemo-naïve hormone-refractory prostate cancer.
This phase II trial is studying how well eribulin mesylate (E7389; Halichondrin B Analog) works in treating patients with metastatic prostate cancer that did not respond to hormone therapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as eribulin mesylate, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.
This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of ixabepilone and mitoxantrone hydrochloride when given together with prednisone and to see how well they work in treating patients with metastatic prostate cancer that did not respond to hormone therapy and chemotherapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as ixabepilone, mitoxantrone hydrochloride, and prednisone, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells
