Filter by:The usual approach for most patients who are not in a study is treatment with docetaxel. This study is being done to answer the following question: Can the chance of prostate cancer growing or spreading be lowered by adding a drug to the usual approach? This study is being done to find out if this approach is better or worse than the usual approach for prostate cancer. The usual approach is defined as the care most people get for prostate cancer.
This study consists of two home-based exercise programs: a stationary exercise bicycle intervention (Arm A), and a walking intervention (Arm B). The study will enroll 24 patients who are starting ADT (Androgen Deprivation Therapy)/ARSI (Androgen-Receptor Signaling Inhibitors) therapy for newly diagnosed metastatic castrate-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC). All participants will be asked to complete 1-2 training sessions at UVA prior to starting the exercise. All participants will be asked to complete aerobic and strength testing before and after the exercise program. Participants will be asked to answer questionnaires throughout the program. The at-home exercise will last for 12 weeks.
The purpose of this research study is to test the safety and possible side effects of Lutetium-177 (177Lu)-Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA)-617 along with niraparib and abiraterone acetate plus prednisone when it is given to people diagnosed with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body and does not improve with hormonal therapies) at different dose levels. Once an optimal dose is selected, the researchers want to find out what how well these treatments work to improve survival and control the growth of the tumor.
This research study is studying a positron emission tomography (PET) agent called 18F-fluciclovine to evaluate how well 18F-fluciclovine-PET scans determine the extent of advanced prostate cancer that either has low prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) expression or has neuroendocrine features. The name of the study interventions are: - 18F-fluciclovine-PET/CT scan - Two research blood collections
Taking part in clinical trials usually favors a particular demographic group. But there is limited research available to explain what trial attributes affect the completion of these specific demographic groups. This research will admit a wide range of data on the clinical study experience of metastatic prostate cancer patients to determine which factors prevail in limiting a patient's ability to join or finish a trial. It will also try to analyze data from the perspective of different demographic groups to check for recurring trends which might yield insights for the sake of future patients with metastatic prostate cancer.
The goal of this clinical trial is to study a personalized regime of lutetium-177 (177Lu) prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT) in patients with progressive and/or symptomatic, inoperable PSMA-expressing cancers of prostatic or other origins. The main questions it aims to answer are: - To establish a dosimetry-based, personalized regime of 177Lu-PSMA - To report on the efficacy of personalized 177Lu-PSMA Participants (stratified by risk factors of toxicity) will receive up to 6 cycles of a personalized activity of 177Lu-PSMA based on renal dosimetry. In the phase 1, the prescribed absorbed dose to the kidney will be escalated, to determine the regime that will be administered in the phase 2. The best response within 12 months after the first cycle will be assessed. Salvage treatment of 3 cycles may be offered to responders after re-progression.
To assess the feasibility and safety of Maximal cytoreductive therapies in patients with de novo mCSPC who achieve ≤10 oligopersistent metastases on PSMA PET CT after initial 3-month systemic treatment with apalutamide plus ADT. Maximal cytoreductive therapies consist of 1.cytoreductive radical prostatectomy with/without PLND guided by post-treatment PET 2.metastasis-directed therapy with radiation guided by post-treatment oligopersistent metastases. All patients receive continuous systemic treatment with apalutamide plus ADT.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of the addition of metformin to abiraterone on survival in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The half the patients will receive metformin in combination with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and abiraterone, and the other half will receive ADT and abiraterone only.
The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of the addition of metformin to abiraterone on survival in patients with newly diagnosed metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. The half the patients will receive metformin in combination with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and abiraterone, and the other half will receive ADT and abiraterone only.
The present study aims to optimize the use of systemic therapy relative to local tumor ablation in a prospective randomized clinical trial and to validate the existence and characterize the clinical and pathology phenotype of oligometastatic (OM) prostate cancer (OM-PCa). For local tumor ablation we propose to use the novel non-invasive and highly effective technique of Image-Guided Single Dose Radiotherapy (SDRT), which we showed is capable of conferring long-term local relapse-free rates in ≥ 90% of metastatic PCa lesions. Concomitantly, we will develop, validate and implement a diagnostic algorithm for OM-PCa and functionally characterize Prostate Cancer Stem Cells (pCSCs) from human samples to correlate their molecular phenotypes with tumor response to treatment. The long-term aim is to define the indications, standardization of treatment protocols and outcome for OM-PCa. Response assessment will be via local control, metastasis-free survival and overall survival rates. Cases displaying the clinical OM phenotype, as disclosed via long-term disease remission following tumor ablation, will represent the basis to identify the molecular signatures of OM-PCa. These signatures will be used to develop and validate an algorithm to predict the OM phenotype upfront and define the treatment strategy that may lead to cure.
