Filter by:The study primarily aims at evaluating health-related quality of life after radiotherapy for prostate cancer, using modern hypofractionated radiotherapy schedules. Study design is a prospective observational cohort study. All patients give written informed consent and fill out online validated questionnaires before, during, and after radiotherapy (yearly) up to 5 years post-treatment.
The study investigates the influence of structured follow-up using ePROMS in the 1st year after prostatectomy on the postoperative course. It will be examined whether this intervention leads to early detection of postoperative symptoms and whether the subsequent initiation of further measures lead to an improvement of incontinence, symptom burden, quality of life and patient competence.
With existing evidence showing the difference in miRNA expression levels between non-cancer and cancer groups, the investigators assume that levels of DNA methylation, RNA expression as well as protein concentration will also be dysregulated during disease progression. Combining the power of multi-omic cancer biomarkers, the investigators hypothesize that the sensitivity and specificity of MiRXES MCST can be significantly improved compared to existing multi-cancer diagnostic tests. In this study, the investigators propose to develop and validate blood-based, multi-cancer screening tests through a multi-omics approach.
Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer in men in the Unites States. Nearly 1 million prostate biopsy procedures are performed in the United States annually and elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level is the primary reason for prostate biopsy in > 90% of cases. However, at the PSA levels which trigger prostate biopsy, often no cancer is found in prostate biopsy specimens. PSA test can be elevated due to reasons other than cancer such as inflammation or natural variation in the level. Investigators plan to treat men with elevated PSA level with over the counter anti-inflammatory medications (ibuprofen, naproxen) to see if the PSA level will decrease to an acceptable level.
This trial is a prospective clinical trial designed to demonstrate the safety and feasibility of whole-pelvis adaptive prostate stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) with a tumor boost to the magnetic resonance (MR)-detected sites of disease. The hypothesis is that this treatment approach will be safe and feasible with <15% of patients experiencing an acute CTCAEv5 grade ≥3 genitourinary (GU) or gastrointestinal (GI) adverse event.
New androgen pathway targeting agents (ARTA), including Abiraterone acetate, Apalutamide and Enzalutamide, are approved and used in treatment of metastatic hormonal sensitive prostate cancer(mHSPC). However, the development of castration-resistance prostate cancer(CRPC) is only a matter of time. The use of sequential ARTAs in mCRPC showed limited benefit in retrospective series and prospective trials. Therefore this sequence should be avoided because of known cross resistance and the availability of chemotherapy and poly adenosine diphosphate-ribose polymerase(PARP) inhibitors (if a relevant mutation is present). Recently, a randomized controlled trial(RCT), the ABIDO-SOGUG, indicated that compared with docetaxel, maintaining Abiraterone added to docetaxel in chemotherapy-naive patients who have experienced cancer progression to Abiraterone treatment could not improve radiographic progression-free survival or the other endpoints.However, another RCT, the PRESIDE trial, indicated that in patients who had progressed on Enzalutamide, continued Enzalutamide treatment in combination with docetaxel led to a significant improvement of PFS compared with placebo plus docetaxel. The aims of this trial is to assess both the efficacy and safety of docetaxel in combination with Enzalutamide as first-line treatment in mCRPC patients progressed on Abiraterone.
This is a multi-centre, Phase 1/2, open-label clinical trial of the VTP-850 prime-boost immunotherapeutic in men with biochemical recurrence after definitive local therapy for prostate cancer.
Background: The current standard treatment of prostate cancer is either surgery or radiation. Typically, this includes either the removal or radiation of the whole prostate gland. Many people now seek out focal therapy options to decrease the side effects of treatment. Until now, several forms of physical destruction with heat (thermal ablation), cold (cryotherapy), sound waves (HIFU), laser (FLA), and electrical energy (IRE). A new type of radiation (SBRT) may be an effective way to cure men of early-stage prostate cancer with fewer side effects than standard treatments. Objective: To see how people with untreated localized prostate cancer will respond to focal therapy with SBRT. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with untreated localized prostate cancer (prostate cancer which has not spread outside of the prostate gland). Design: - Participants will undergo screening including blood tests, an MRI, a PSMA PET/CT (18F-DCFPyL), and a biopsy. - Small, non-radioactive, gold seeds about the size of a grain of rice will be placed in and/or around the tumor to help target the radiation treatment. - Radiation (SBRT) will occur in 2 separate sessions about 1 week apart. No sedation is used, these sessions are painless. Each session will take about 1-2 hours. Participants can go home afterwards. - Follow-up will continue for 2 years with repeat scans (MRI and PSMA PET/CT) and blood (PSA) tests. - After two years, a biopsy will be done to understand the impact of this new treatment on prostate cancer.
This study will compare the safety and efficacy of curative radiotherapy to the prostate and lymph glands given in 5 visits to that of prostate alone radiotherapy given in 5 visits, in men with high risk localised prostate cancer.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess the concordance of treatment decisions made in multidisciplinary consultation meeting based on targeted biopsies alone or targeted biopsies associated with systematic biopsies in patients with suspected prostate cancer.
