NCT ID: NCT05969860 Recruiting - Multiple Myeloma Clinical Trials

At-Home Cancer Directed Therapy Versus in Clinic for the Treatment of Patients With Advanced Cancer

Start date: August 23, 2023
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This clinical trial studies the effect of cancer directed therapy given at-home versus in the clinic for patients with cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). Currently most drug-related cancer care is conducted in infusion centers or specialty hospitals, where patients spend many hours a day isolated from family, friends, and familiar surroundings. This separation adds to the physical, emotional, social, and financial burden for patients and their families. The logistics and costs of navigating cancer treatments have become a principal contributor to patients' reduced quality of life. It is therefore important to reduce the burden of cancer in the lives of patients and their caregivers, and a vital aspect of this involves moving beyond traditional hospital and clinic-based care and evaluate innovative care delivery models with virtual capabilities. Providing cancer treatment at-home, versus in the clinic, may help reduce psychological and financial distress and increase treatment compliance, especially for marginalized patients and communities.

NCT ID: NCT05869682 Recruiting - Prostate Carcinoma Clinical Trials

Bright White Light Therapy in Reducing Cancer-Related Fatigue and Depression in Advanced Prostate Cancer Patients Undergoing Treatment With ADT Combination Therapy

Start date: June 15, 2024
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This phase II trial tests how well bright white light (BWL) therapy works in reducing cancer-related fatigue and depression in patients with prostate cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) and who are undergoing treatment with antiandrogen therapy (ADT) combination therapy. Combination treatment including ADT plus chemotherapy and androgen receptor (AR) targeted therapy or ADT plus AR targeted therapies work by reducing testosterone. Most prostate tumor cells rely on testosterone to help them grow; therefore, ADT combination therapy causes prostate tumor cells to die or to grow more slowly leading to improved overall survival in men with advanced prostate cancer when compared with ADT alone. However, lower levels of testosterone is also commonly associated with worsening fatigue and depression. If prolonged and severe, these complications can alter patient treatment plans, impacting not just quality of life, but leading to inadequate cancer control. BWL therapy is a type of phototherapy that utilizes bright white full-spectrum light, either through a light box or light therapy glasses to help regulate circadian rhythms. Circadian rhythms are physical, mental, and behavioral changes that follow a 24-hour cycle, including the sleep-wake cycle which can become disrupted in cancer patients undergoing treatment, leading to increased fatigue. Additionally, exposure to bright light may increase the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that is associated with mood regulation. BWL therapy with AYOpro light therapy glasses may serve as a supportive care measure for men with advanced prostate to help reduce fatigue, as well as improve mood and overall quality of life during ADT combination therapy to maintain cancer care without suffering complications of therapy.

NCT ID: NCT05612880 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Advanced Prostate Carcinoma

Physical Function During ARSI Treatment

Start date: October 13, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

This single arm observational pilot study aims to determine the longitudinal effects of androgen receptor signaling inhibitors (ARSI) in men with advanced prostate cancer. The primary outcome for this trial is physical function, which will be evaluated at baseline, 12 and 24 weeks. Secondary outcomes including body composition, muscle function, balance, arterial stiffness and patient reported outcomes.

NCT ID: NCT05396872 Recruiting - Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials

Patient Decision-making About Precision Oncology in Veterans With Advanced Prostate Cancer

Start date: May 12, 2022
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This clinical trial explores and implements methods to improve informed decision making (IDM) regarding precision oncology tests amongst veterans with prostate cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). Precision oncology, the use of germline genetic testing and tumor-based molecular assays to inform cancer care, has become an important aspect of evidence-based care for men with advanced prostate cancer. Veterans with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer may not be carrying out IDM due to unmet decisional needs. An informed decision is a choice based on complete and accurate information. The information gained from this study will help researchers develop a decision support intervention (DSI) and implement the intervention. A DSI may serve as a valuable tool to reduce ongoing racial disparities in genetic testing and encourage enrollment to precision oncology trials.

NCT ID: NCT05238831 Withdrawn - Clinical trials for Recurrent Ovarian Carcinoma

SMMART Adaptive Clinical Treatment (ACT) Trial

Start date: January 30, 2023
Phase: Early Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

SMMART-ACT is a feasibility pilot study to determine if testing samples from a participant's cancer using a precision medicine approach can be used to identify specific drugs or drug combinations that can help control their disease. The safety and tolerability of the drug or drug combination is also to be studied. Another purpose is for researchers to study tumor cells to try to learn why some people respond to a certain therapy and others do not, and why some cancer drugs stop working. The study population will include participants with advanced breast, ovarian, prostate, or pancreatic malignancies, or sarcomas.

NCT ID: NCT04984395 Not yet recruiting - Clinical trials for Advanced Prostate Carcinoma

Improving Diagnosis and Treatment of Metastatic Advanced Prostate Cancer

IDT
Start date: July 30, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The aim of this study is to provide clinical evidence to determine if Whole Body Magnetic Resonance Imaging (WBMRI) with a novel technique called diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) can improve current treatment for APC patients, allowing for early identification of disease progression or treatment response, hence facilitating clinical decision-making and leading to improvement in patient care. The IDT study includes two retrospective analyses and a single centre prospective observational study for APC patients.

NCT ID: NCT04851639 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Advanced Prostate Carcinoma

The Wolverhampton Assessment Tool, a Tool for Patient-reported Wellbeing in the Context of Prostate Cancer

WATapp
Start date: September 1, 2020
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

This is a study of the Wolverhampton Assessment Tool (WATapp), a five-item questionnaire for patients with advanced or metastatic prostate cancer to say how they feel normally in terms of pain, urinary frequency, eating, and tiredness. It is widely recognised that patient-reported outcomes give a measure of overall effect of clinicians' actions on patients and that they can be used to guide the management of the patient's condition. WATapp is designed to reduce the need for the patient to attend hospital so much for routine follow-up consultations (an important aspect in light of COVID-19), to give the patient some sense of agency and control and to inform his clinician of just he feels he is coping with his treatment. Now the investigators want to find out just how the results from WATapp correspond to, for example, changes in the patient's PSA, testosterone or other blood results which are routinely measured; and to find out how patients and clinicians feel about using WATapp. Men with advanced or metastatic prostate cancer will be eligible to take part in the study and participation is in addition to whatever treatment they are on. Clinicians who choose to offer WATapp to their patients will also be invited to take part and they will be asked to share with the researchers anonymised, linked patient data and scores from WATapp.

NCT ID: NCT04833517 Recruiting - Clinical trials for Prostate Cancer Metastatic

Prospective REgistry of Targeted RadionucLide TherapY in Patients With mCRPC (REALITY Study)

Start date: January 1, 2016
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

This prospective registry aims to assess outcome and toxicity of targeted radionuclide therapies in patients with advanced prostate cancer in clinical routine. While the major investigated treatment modality is prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted radioligand therapy, also other radionuclide therapies such as Ra223 and liver-directed radioembolization are included. The investigators believe that prospectively assessed long-term outcome data on implementation of radionuclide therapy, especially in the palliative setting of advanced mCRPC, help to better define the real benefits and risks of the respective treatment modalities for patients regarding survival and quality-of-life.

NCT ID: NCT04514484 Active, not recruiting - HIV Infection Clinical Trials

Testing the Combination of the Anti-cancer Drugs XL184 (Cabozantinib) and Nivolumab in Patients With Advanced Cancer and HIV

Start date: November 22, 2021
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This phase I trial investigates the side effects of cabozantinib and nivolumab in treating patients with cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) and who are undergoing treatment for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Cabozantinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving cabozantinib and nivolumab may shrink or stabilize cancer in patients undergoing treatment for HIV.

NCT ID: NCT04346225 Recruiting - Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) With Hyperpolarized Pyruvate (13C) as Diagnostic Tool in Advanced Prostate Cancer

Start date: July 16, 2020
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This is a prospective imaging study evaluating the utility of baseline metabolic MR imaging as a diagnostic and response monitoring tool in patients with advanced prostate cancer. Preliminary pre-clinical and clinical data demonstrates the ability of HP C-13 pyruvate/metabolic MR imaging to detect high-grade prostate cancer, including cancer with neuroendocrine differentiation, as well as provide early evidence of metabolic response and resistance following application of systemic therapies for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer patients. In the proposed study, the investigators aim is to extend the initial clinical results and further develop HP C-13 MRI as an imaging modality in advanced prostate cancer.
