At least 40% of the patients with prostate cancer (PC) present with positive lymph nodes (N1). The optimal treatment strategy for these patients remains controversial. Although androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is still often initiated as only treatment, the results are disappointing. Recent studies support the use of more aggressive therapies including external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) and ADT. The retrospective studies supporting the additional use of EBRT in N1 PC patients are however not conclusive regarding to the extent of radiation field. Even after an EPLND, there might be a role for pelvic EBRT in irradicating microscopic disease. However pelvic irradiation irrevocably results in increased toxicity. Moreover, in node negative (N0) PC patients the addition of pelvic EBRT has not resulted in improved outcome in randomised trials. However in the setting of Tumor Node Metastasis pathological stage (p)N1, proven on pathological examination, PC patients this has never been evaluated so far. This trial aims to answer the question whether or not pelvic EBRT is beneficial in pathological N1 PC patients. It is also important to realise that not all pathological N1 PC patients have similar outcome. There is a significant impact of number of positive lymph nodes on outcome, with two positive nodes being suggested as a significant cut-off value in predicting survival in pathological N1 PC patients. By stratifying the patients according to the number of lymph nodes involved this study will add to the proper selection of those patients who will benefit most of pelvic EBRT and avoid toxicity in patients who have no benefit of pelvic EBRT. Additionally, small RNAs constitute potentially valuable markers for the diagnosis, prognosis, and therapeutic choices in PC patients. Blood samples will be collected to examine the potential role of miRNAs as a biomarker and to develop a prognostic signature for clinical relapse-free survival. The results of this trial will serve as a base for developping new trials in order to optimise the treatment of patients with pathological N1 PC.
The use of dehydrated human amnionic membrane allograft improves erectile function recovery (as measured by (Sexual History Inventory for Men (SHIM) score) at 12 months after robotic assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) compared to a control group with no allograft.
The goal of this study is to measure the effect of radiation therapy on the activity levels of patients. This will be achieved by tracking their activity levels during a treatment course of radiation therapy.
This is a prospective randomized phase II clinical trial where patients who are receiving enzalutamide in the pre-chemotherapy space are randomized upon objective progression (radiographic and/or clinical per PCWG2 criteria) to docetaxel/prednisone alone or the same combination plus enzalutamide. The primary aim is to evaluate whether continuing enzalutamide in combination with docetaxel in patients who failed or progressed while on enzalutamide would increase progression-free survival (PFS) by 4 months. The secondary end points are PSA responses, percent of patients alive at 1 and 2 years, decline in circulating tumor cells (CTCs), and quality of life (QOL) using validated scales.
The purpose of this trial is to test if a marketed drug for advanced prostate cancer (FIRMAGON) can reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications as compared to another marketed drug for advanced prostate cancer (LUPRON DEPOT) in subjects with prostate cancer and cardiovascular disease.
To assess activity of abiraterone-re-challenge in patients with advanced prostate cancer and prior response to abiraterone.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of Noni extract in men diagnosed with very low risk or low risk prostate cancer
The purpose of this trial is to test if the combination of enzalutamide and metformin in patients with castration resistant prostate cancer CRPC progressing on androgen deprivation therapy ADT is more effective compared to enzalutamide alone. The half of the patients will receive the experimental treatment combination, enzalutamide and metformin, while the other half will receive enzalutamide alone.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of MGD009 when given to patients with B7-H3-expressing tumors. The study will also evaluate what is the highest dose of MGD009 that can be given safely. Assessments will be done to see how the drug acts in the body (pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD) and to evaluate potential anti-tumor activity of MGD009.
