Filter by:This randomized phase III trial studies a diet and exercise program based on the Diabetes Prevention Program to promote weight loss and improve health in men with low-risk or low-intermediate-risk prostate cancer on active surveillance. A lifestyle intervention that promotes weight loss may influence prostate health. A combined diet and exercise program that is based on the Diabetes Prevention Program may affect markers (or "biomarkers") of prostate cancer progression. Gathering this information may help doctors understand how obesity affects prostate cancer progression and may help lead to a program that can reduce the risk of prostate cancer progression.
This trial studies the side effects and how well high-dose brachytherapy works in treating patients with prostate cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body. Brachytherapy is a type of radiation therapy in which radioactive material sealed in needles, seeds, wires, or catheters is placed directly into or near a tumor and may be a better treatment in patients with prostate cancer.
Patients with locally confined prostate adenocarcinoma (clinical stage T1c - T2bN0M0, Gleason score 7, PSA 20 ng/ml) are assigned to one of two treatment arms. Low risk patients (T1c-T2a and PSA <10 ng/ml and Gleason Score 6 or less) will receive 5 fractions of 8.0 Gy for a total of 40 Gy. Intermediate risk patients (T2b or PSA >10 ng/ml orGleason Score 7) will receive 1.8 Gy of IMRT for 25 fractions over 5 weeks for a total of 45 Gy. They will then receive a boost consisting of 4, 5.5 Gy fractions after IMRT for a total of 22 Gy.
The goal of this clinical research study is to evaluate the safety of PEG-BCT- 100 given as an infusion to treat patients who bear advanced solid tumors that are dependent on arginine (melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, prostate cancer and hepatocellular carcinoma), and who have progressed after receiving approved or established therapies. This is a Phase 1 study; PEG-BCT-100 is an enzyme that degrades arginine and is an investigational drug.
This study is comparing the effectiveness of enzalutamide with or without abiraterone acetate for men with high-risk, localized prostate cancer.
The aim of this study is to test the safety and efficacy of Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) in localized prostate carcinoma in patients for whom the standard treatment is the irradiation of the entire prostate gland with or without seminal vesicles accompanied or not by hormonal therapy. In light of the accumulating clinical evidence favoring the use of hypo fractionation, SBRT regimen might constitute a much more convenient non-invasive and highly efficient outpatient therapy.
This research trial studies molecular features and pathways in predicting drug resistance in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body and who are receiving enzalutamide. Studying samples of blood and tissue in the laboratory from patients receiving enzalutamide may help doctors learn more about molecular features and pathways that may cause prostate cancer to be resistant to the drug.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of stereotactic body radiation therapy in treating patients with breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, or prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Stereotactic body radiation therapy delivers fewer, tightly-focused, high doses of radiation therapy to all known sites of cancer in the body while minimizing radiation exposure of surrounding normal tissue.
The present study is a phase III randomized and multicentric trial evaluating the potential additional impact effect of two years adjuvant androgen deprivation when combined with neoadjuvant (4 months) and high-dose (76 Gy) conformal radiotherapy in moderate high-risk prostate cancer patients. Stratification will be performed by prognostic factors and by participating institution.
This pilot partially-randomized phase II trial studies how well Supportive Therapy in Androgen Deprivation (STAND) clinic works in improving health outcomes and managing side effects in patients with prostate cancer. Individualized counseling regarding exercise and dietary habits may help improve patient understanding, satisfaction, and overall lessen adverse impact on quality of life caused by androgen deprivation.
