Filter by:The purpose of this phase I/Ib study is to determine the safety profile of Epidiolex (CBD oil) in biochemically recurrent prostate cancer patients. The study consists of a dose escalation part and dose expansion part. The dose expansion part of the study will use the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) determined in the dose escalation part to assess the activity, safety and tolerability of the investigational product in patients with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer after localized therapy with either surgery or radiation.
The proposal will explore a trial design called the cohort-multiple RCT (cmRCT) or as it has been recently coined, the Trials WithIn Cohorts (TWICS) design. This design has been used in a number of disease areas, both benign and cancer. Prostate conditions have been chosen since they are extremely common and if malignancy occurs the majority of men with the disease are regarded as living with a chronic condition due to its long natural history and in which innovative approaches, interventions, treatments or changes in management might have a significant patient benefit and impact on the NHS. It therefore fits the cmRCT design very well. Nonetheless, the lessons learned in this study will be of relevance to other disease spaces. The TWICS or cmRCT design is currently being used in elderly patients, risk of falls, depression, hip fracture, Yorkshire Health Study, scleroderma, breast cancer, colorectal cancer, bladder cancer and kidney cancer, to name a few. In total, a recent systematic review showed that there were 18 ongoing cmRCT studies with 6 in the UK. The acceptability and feasibility of the cmRCT in the prostate pathway will be tested. This is the first time this method will be tested and therefore piloted. In the first part of the study, the following will be evaluated. What is the accrual rate? What do patients and their healthcare professionals think of the cmRCT design? Is the data collected robust? What are the resource requirements of such a study?A number of novel interventions or changes in the pathway will then be tested and compared to standard care in the cohort that was recruited.
Biolen, a novel implant, is intended to deliver an anti-androgen locally to the prostate gland for the management of prostate disease, while minimizing systemic exposure and its associated side-effects. The objectives of the study are to assess whether the Biolen is safe.
This phase II trial studies the impact of 68GA-PSMA-11 positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scan on treatment strategies for patients with prostate cancer. Diagnostic imaging procedures, such as 68GA-PSMA-11 PET/CT scan, may help doctors plan the best treatment for prostate cancer.
This phase II trial studies how well pentoxifylline, atorvastatin, and vitamin E (PAVE) work in treating patients with erectile dysfunction after radiation therapy for prostate cancer. Atorvastatin may reduce high cholesterol. Pentoxifylline and vitamin E may enhance blood flow. Giving PAVE may work better in treating prostate cancer patients with post-radiation therapy erectile dysfunction.
A generic cancer health-related quality of life measure will be used to assess the impact of the patient-specific radiation therapy plan review using the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) quality of life questionnaire (QLQ)-C30. Patient psychosocial adjustment will be assessed by the Memorial Anxiety Scale for prostate cancer and the EORTC QLQ-C30 subdomain. Physician communication will be assessed with the UC Davis Physician Communication adapted from the Cologne Patient Questionnaire. The study will characterize the above health-related quality of life (HRQL) scores (EORTC QLQ C-30, the Memorial Anxiety Scale, and the UC Davis Physician Communication) prior to initiation of radiation (baseline), during the first week of treatment, at the end of radiation treatment (6-8 weeks following initiation of treatment), and 12 months after treatment ends.
This study evaluates the diagnostic performance and safety of 18F-DCFPyL (PyL) PET/CT imaging in patients with suspected recurrence of prostate cancer who have negative or equivocal findings on conventional imaging.
This phase II trial studies how well gallium Ga 68 DOTA-NeoBOMB1 and gallium Ga 68 PSMA-R2 positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) work in diagnosing participants with prostate cancer that has come back. Diagnostic procedures, such as gallium Ga 68 DOTA-NeoBOMB1 and gallium Ga 68 PSMA-R2 PET/MRI, may help find and diagnose prostate cancer and find out how far the disease has spread.
This phase II trial studies how well testosterone (enanthate or cypionate) and olaparib work in treating patients with prostate cancer that has progressed despite hormonal therapy. Hormonal therapy, such as leuprolide, may lessen the amount of male sex hormones made by the body. In patients that have developed progressive cancer in spite of standard hormonal treatment (i.e. castration-resistant prostate cancer), administering testosterone may result in regression of tumors by causing DNA damage in cancer cells that have adapted to low testosterone conditions. Olaparib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes involved in repairing DNA damage. Therefore, giving testosterone and olaparib together may work better in treating castration-resistant prostate cancer by generating DNA damage that the cancer cell is unable to repair.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and short-term oncological efficacy of the NanoKnife Irreversible Electroporation System for localised prostate cancer. Irreversible electroporation (IRE) is the method of focal treatment for prostate cancer, which is already proven by FDA as method of the surgical ablation of soft tissue. It has not received clearance for the therapy or treatment of any specific disease or condition.
