Filter by:In this prospective, multi-center cohort study, the tolerability and quality of life during ultrahypofractionated radiotherapy (RT) of early stage prostate cancer is surveyed at several institutions in Germany. Radiotherapy is delivered with by an online-adaptive RT device (Varian Ethos), which is able to correct daily variations in anatomy and to adjust the irradiation plan accordingly. A digital patient questionnaire is used to asses quality of life longitudinally. Quality of life (QoL) and toxicity profiles will be correlated with planning parameters and compared to retrospective cohorts of patients who underwent normofractionated RT or moderately hypofractionated RT, respectively.
To qualitatively determine the imaging performance of PET-CT imaging subsystem of the RefleXion X1 System Device in patients undergoing standard-of-care (SOC) [68Ga]-PSMA-11 PET-CT using Illuccix on the same day.
The purpose of this study is to study the effects of EPI-7386 in combination with Enzalutamide on participants diagnosed with prostate cancer. The main goals of this study are to evaluate the antitumor activity of EPI-7386 in combination with enzalutamide in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), and to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of EPI-7386 when dosed in combination with enzalutamide. Participants will will take the study drug, EPI-7360, twice a day by mouth and enzalutamide once a day by mouth, alongside clinic visits every two weeks.
This study is an international multicentre RCT to compare the linically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) detection of cognitive-guided and MRI-USG guided biopsies in men with suspicious MRI lesion.
This is a Single-center, diagnostic open-label prospective, pilot study in a total of 10 patients affected by Prostate cancer (PCa) with a risk of lymph node invasion (LNI) higher than 5% and candidates for a robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) with an extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND) . The aim of the trial is to evaluate the feasibility and accuracy and clinical value of a novel high-resolution perioperative PET-CT-scan for intraoperative margin and lymph node invasion assessment, after 18F-PSMA injection, using histopathology as the gold standard.
The goal of this intervention study is for patients on active surveillance for prostate cancer, to demonstrate that use of regular MRI scans is better able to detect cancer progression over 5 years compared to the current NICE defined strategy. Research Question P - In patients who are on active surveillance for low to medium risk prostate cancer, I - is the use of regular MRI scans C - compared to current NICE defined standard of care, O - better at detecting cancer progression with less cost to the NHS (fewer PSA tests, biopsies and clinic visits)? Patients will be allocated in a 1.1 ratio to either MRI scans or the current NICE defined standard. Randomisation will be blocked (random block size) and stratified by MRI visibility of lesions (3 categories [ no visible lesion, diffuse changes, discrete visible lesion]), cancer Grade Group (GG1, GG2) and time since diagnosis. This study will not be blinded to patients or physicians.
Surgical notes are detailed reports written by surgeons during and after surgeries. These notes cover everything from the techniques, instruments used, any issues with the surgical procedure and post-surgical care for the patient. This information is a treasure trove for researchers because they can study it to understand how surgeries go, what works best, and how certain treatments affect patients. By looking closely at these notes, researchers can find patterns and trends, helping them in understanding what makes surgeries successful and identify the best ways to perform them. This information is crucial for creating guidelines based on solid evidence. Also, these surgical notes are a goldmine for looking back at past surgeries to see how they have affected patients in the long run. The real power for research comes when we combine these surgical notes within the Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and research databases. This makes it easy to collect information systematically, making it simpler for researchers to study a large number of cases. Unfortunately, not many people have paid attention to this idea for a long time, leading to big gaps in the data collection. To address this issue, we aim to create a database that collects information from surgical notes effortlessly. This includes details about how surgeons are trained and how they progress. It's important to make sure that doctors work aligns with research - which is the best way to address data collection issues. This data can also help record different technical aspects of surgery and different surgeons' learning curve, making it easier to compare and improve training. Thus, we aim to standardise notes that are the same across different hospitals conducting robotic-assisted surgeries for prostatectomy.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the impact of Virtual Reality (VR) assistance for anxiety management of patients undergoing prostate biopsies in local anaesthesia. The main question it aims to answer: - Is there a significant decrease on anxiety level thanks to VR-assistance? Participants will be equipped with VR headset providing an immersive visual experience accompanied with a hypnoses oriented audio during the entire procedure. Researchers will compare standardised anxiety scores with a control group.
1. Personalize treatment for prostate cancer based on how aggressive the disease is and 2. Learn if apalutamide-based treatment can help to reduce fatigue and other side effects of treatment in participants who are being treated with radiation therapy for prostate cancer, as compared to standard therapy.
The goal of the clinical trial is to find out whether transdermal estradiol will reduce the adverse effects of androgen deprivation therapy in prostate cancer patients. The primary aim of this study is to estimate the efficacy of transdermal estradiol (E2) in reducing androgen deprivation therapy induced adverse effects on sexual function. A secondary aim of this study is to estimate the utility of E2 and the combination of E2 with supervised exercise in reducing other androgen deprivation therapy related adverse effects. Participants (n=310) will use transdermal estradiol for 12 months concomitant to androgen deprivation therapy. The use of transdermal estradiol will start at the beginning of the trial, at the same time as androgen deprivation therapy. A subgroup of participants (n=120) will also be allocated to perform six months supervised resistance training. Researchers will compare transdermal estradiol group to control group, and resistance training groups and non-training control groups.
