Filter by:Background: - All cells go through cycles which allow them to divide. In normal cells, checkpoint kinase 1 (Chk1) and checkpoint kinase 2 (Chk2) (CHEK 2 (Chk1/2) stop cell division at various points to allow any damage to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) to be repaired. - When Chk1/2 are not present, cells stop dividing and eventually die. Chk1/2 Inhibitor (Prexasertib (LY2606368) blocks the Chk1/2 proteins. - Researchers hope that by blocking Chk1/2, it will cause tumor cells to die, thereby shrinking tumors. Objective: - To see if LY2606368 helps shrink tumors in patients with certain breast, ovarian or prostate cancers. Eligibility: - Participants at least 18 years old with breast or ovarian cancer. They must have a mutation in BRCA1 BReast CAncer gene 1 and BRCA2 BReast CAncer gene 2 (BRCA1/2) genes for group 1, high grade serious ovarian cancer without BRCA1/2 mutation for group 2, or triple negative breast cancer without BRCA1/2 mutation for group 3, or prostate cancer with or without BRCA1/2 mutation for group 4. Design: - Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. They will have blood tests, an electrocardiogram (ECG) heart test, scans, and X-rays. They will have a piece of their tumor removed at entry (computed tomography (CT)-assisted biopsy). - Study Day 1: Participants will have a physical exam and blood drawn. They may have a CT scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. - Day 1 and Day 15 of each 28-day cycle: Participants will receive the study drug through an intravenous (IV). - Vital signs will be checked before and after. An ECG will be done within 1 hour after. - Day 15 and Day 28: Participants will have a physical exam, blood drawn, and a 12 lead ECG. - Cycle 1: Participants will have weekly phone calls and blood draws. Participants may have another CT-assisted biopsy at the end of cycle 1. - Cycle 2 and beyond, blood will be drawn every other week for routine blood tests. - Participants will have an after-study visit with a physical exam and blood tests. Participants may have another biopsy when they progressed on treatment. They will have scans of the chest, pelvis, and abdomen and a 12 lead ECG.
The aim of this study is divided in 4 different steps: - the first step has two different purpose: assess the impact of the storage medium of fresh prostatic chips on fluorescence signal and adjust the entire chain (immunolabelling,counter-stain and imaging), - the second step is the adaptation of immunolabelling protocol on histopathology slides, using fresh prostatic tissue, - the third step is to validate the use of: 1. the medical device created by the FEMTO-ST institute use for the detection of fluorescence signal on fresh tissue, 2. the Light-CT scanner use for tissue structural observation. - the four step is to check the preservation of morphological structure of tissue under the effect of laser excitation from the medical device.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether pre-operative prostate artery embolization (PAE) reduces intra-operative blood loss and improves surgical outcomes among prostate cancer patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALRP).
This is an open-label, Phase 2 clinical study of the oral Selective Inhibitor of Nuclear Export (SINE) selinexor (KPT-330) in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
This study is testing a walking program called Walk with Ease by the Arthritis Foundation with men undergoing treatment for prostate cancer. The researchers are interested in how easy or difficult it is for these men to participate in this program and whether or not is is helpful to them during their care.
This pilot clinical trial studies how well magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) before biopsy works in diagnosing patients with prostate cancer. MRI is a procedure in which radio waves and a powerful magnet linked to a computer are used to create detailed pictures of areas inside the body. This diagnostic procedure may aid in identifying lesions in the prostate which may have cancer. The lesions can then be targeted during the prostate biopsy to improve the accuracy of identifying prostate cancer.
Evaluate the ability of 18F-FCH PET/MRI scan to detect pre-treatment tumor burden and assess response to treatment in men with castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). It is hypothesized that these novel biomarkers will better identify evaluable lesions prior to therapy and identify response to treatment (or lack thereof) earlier in the treatment period, providing a better guide for treating men with CRPC.
The purpose of this study is to determine the tolerability profile of OPB-111001 and to determine the most suitable dose of OPB-111001 in patients with advanced cancer
This study intents to provide an initial evaluation of the utility of positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance (PET/MR) imaging measures for the prediction of immunological response to Sipuleucel T (SipT) therapy.
The goal of this study is to evaluate electrical stimulation of nerves responsible for erectile function after surgery to remove the prostate (prostatectomy). Electrical stimulation of the nerves responsible for erectile function is experimental. The investigators hypothesize that the subjects can tolerate nerve stimulation.
