Filter by:This is an observational study in which patient data from the past on men with prostate cancer are studied. Cancer is a condition in which the body cannot control the growth of cells and tumors may form. If tumors form in the prostate, male sex hormones (androgens) can sometimes help the cancer spread and grow. Cancer that spreads to other parts of the body is called metastasis. Androgens are mainly made in the testicles. There are treatments available for men with prostate cancer to lower the levels of these hormones in the body. These treatments are called androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Some men with prostate cancer respond to ADT, but in some cases, prostate cancer may overcome the therapy and worsen despite low androgens levels. Second generation androgen receptor inhibitors (SGARIs) including darolutamide, apalutamide, and enzalutamide are available for the treatment of prostate cancer in addition to ADT. SGARIs work by blocking androgens from attaching to proteins in cancer cells in the prostate. Clinical studies have shown that men with prostate cancer benefit from these treatments. But besides benefits, unfavorable reactions related to these treatments also influence which treatment is chosen, if the treatment is taken as intended or if it is even stopped. Unfavorable reactions observed for darolutamide, apalutamide, and enzalutamide differ from each other. In clinical trials, severe unfavorable reactions occurred less often for darolutamide. But information on how unfavorable reactions of each treatment influence their intake in actual or "real-world" prostate cancer treatment is missing. The main aim of this observational study is to learn to what extent SGARI treatments are taken as prescribed and how often their intake is completely stopped. To find this out, researchers will collect available treatment data of adult men with prostate cancer from the United States who started SGARI treatments between August 2019 and March 2021. The data will be drawn from the IQVIA database. For each man, data from up to 1 year prior SGARI treatment until at least 3 months after treatment start (up to the 30 June 2021) will be collected. The researchers will look at the percentage of men who: - completely stopped to take their treatment or - took the treatment as prescribed. The results for each treatment (darolutamide, apalutamide, and enzalutamide) will then be compared to find possible differences. There will be no required visits with a study doctor or required tests in this study since only patient data from the past are studied.
This is an observational study where prostate cancer related PROMs (EPIC-26) is collected using two different methods (by paper questionnaires and electronically) and patient experience and preference is asked.
This is a two-arm, randomized, controlled trial to evaluate the effectiveness of using a behaviorally designed gamification intervention with social support compared to an attention control group to increase physical activity during a 6-month intervention with a 3-month follow-up period. We will enroll 150 Black or Hispanic breast and prostate cancer survivors who are at an especially high risk for developing major CVD from two U.S. cancer centers: the University of Pennsylvania Health System and City of Hope National Medical Center. All participants will receive a wearable activity tracker (Fitbit) and will be enrolled in the Way to Health system, a research information technology platform at the University of Pennsylvania. Within the Way to Health platform, patients will set a goal to increase daily step count from baseline, and will then be randomized to gamification plus social support or to attention control. The study will evaluate the effect of the gamification intervention on daily physical activity (as measured by daily steps and moderate to vigorous physical activity), physical function, fatigue, and health-related quality of life.
Microstyle study aims to evaluate the effect of a 6-month intervention in a group of prostate cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy. Intervention is designed to control side effects and to improve adherence to a healthy lifestyle (diet and increase level of physical activity and decreased sedentary time) measured by the change in adherence to a healthy lifestyle score. The impact of the intervention on toxicity and gastrointestinal symptomatology will be measured by a mediation framework analysis. This approach allows investigating how microbiome may mediate effect of treatment. It will be also assessed the change in microbiome in relation to the change in cytokines/ adipokines in association with early and late toxicity.
This phase II study will investigate the activity and safety of radionuclide 177Lu-PSMA therapy versus 177Lu-PSMA in combination with Ipilimumab and Nivolumab in patients with metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
This is a phase II trial to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of a radiolabelled PSMA-targeting antibody, 177Lu-TLX591, given in combination with external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) in patients with biochemically recurrent, oligometastatic, PSMA-expressing prostate cancer. TLX591 is being developed as a PSMA-targeting antibody to be radiolabelled with a therapeutic radioisotope for the treatment of PSMA-expressing tumours.
The purpose of this prospective, interventional, single-arm pilot study is to evaluate whether virtually delivered group-based physical activity is feasible for adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer survivors. AYAs who were diagnosed with cancer and have completed cancer treatment will be recruited for this study. This study will enroll 20 participants in total and will last approximately 3 months.
The WINGMEN trial aims to understand how a hormone-like protein called insulin-like growth factor (IGF) helps prostate cancers grow and become aggressive. IGF is required for normal development, and also helps cancers grow and spread. Men with high blood IGF are at increased risk of developing prostate cancer, and tall men are more likely to get aggressive prostate cancer. The WINGMEN trial will recruit 30 men with prostate cancer who have been offered an operation to remove the prostate. Most men have to wait 4-5 weeks between a decision to have prostate removal surgery, and actually having the operation. In this 4-5 week window we will offer treatment with a new IGF-blocker drug called xentuzumab. The drug is provided by Boehringer Ingelheim and the trial is funded by Prostate Cancer UK. Xentuzumab will be given as an outpatient by once weekly intravenous infusion (drip) in the Early Phase Clinical Trials Unit, Oxford Cancer Centre, Churchill Hospital. In other trials, xentuzumab is being tested in patients with advanced cancer, and is proving to be well-tolerated. After the 4-week treatment, WINGMEN trial patients will have routine prostate removal surgery. Samples of blood and prostate cancer that are surplus to diagnostic need will be taken from the diagnostic prostate biopsy (pre-xentuzumab) and the cancer removed at surgery (after xentuzumab) for research tests. These samples will be compared to measure how effectively xentuzumab reduces signs of tumour growth, and identify which genes and proteins are switched on or off by xentuzumab, and which may therefore be important in helping IGF promote prostate cancer growth. The information we get from the WINGMEN trial may help us to improve treatment of men with prostate cancer, with the long-term aim of reducing the risk of aggressive prostate cancer
The purpose of this study is to find out whether combining a shorter than standard course of ADT with standard prostate brachytherapy and hypofractionated external beam radiation therapy is a safe and effective way to prevent high-risk prostate cancer from coming back and/or spreading to other parts of the body.
The aim of this study is to provide robust data on the head-to-head comparison of the two ligands of the prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) available in Switzerland for positron emission tomography (PET)-imaging, i.e. 68Ga-PSMA-11 und 18F-PSMA-1007.
