Filter by:This study evaluates the rate of radiological disease progression with the new 2nd generation positron emission tomography (PET) radiopharmaceutical, 18F-DCFPyL, in patients with metastatic castration (mCRPC) and non-metastatic (nmCRPC) castration resistant prostate cancer who have evidence of biochemical (PSA) disease progression without evidence of radiological disease progression on conventional standard radiologic testing (99mTc-methylene diphosphonate bone scan and CT).
This study involves Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT) followed by prostatectomy (removal of the prostate). SBRT is a relatively new radiation technique in which a few doses of radiation are delivered to small, well-defined tumors. It has been used effectively in other cancers like lung and liver. The radiation will be given for only 5 days. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects, good and/or bad, of different doses of SBRT given before prostatectomy.
The primary objective of this study is to determine the effects of Mikei® Red Reishi Essence EX extract powder on the immune function of prostate cancer patients and patients with non-cancerous conditions of the prostate.
Assessment of the effects of OMN54 (Aneustat) in a population of men with indolent prostate cancer who are otherwise healthy and free of significant co-morbidities and have chosen active surveillance for disease management. The investigators will assess how OMN54 affects PSA, overall tumor burden in addition to any changes in urinary flow. Other biomarkers will be tested to follow disease evolution.
Prostate cancer is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity. The purpose of this study is to develop and test non-invasive biomarkers based on methylation changes in PBMC, T-cells and circulated tumor DNA in prostate cancer patients.
The main objective of the trial to determine if the combination of apalutamide with 6 months of androgen deprivation therapy by LHRH agonists in patients with intermediate and limited high-risk, localized prostate cancer receiving primary radiation therapy (RT) results in an improvement of disease-free survival (DFS) evaluated by the treating physician, in comparison to the combination of radiation and androgen deprivation therapy without the addition of apalutamide.
The overall goal of this study is to identify a safe dose of metformin, in combination with oligomeric procyanidin complex (OPC) for pharmacologic reduction of AGE levels in patients with prostate cancer.
The purpose of this study is to show that reduction in advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) is associated with the beneficial regulation of receptor for AGE (RAGE) mediated tumor response which may correlate with improved quality of life in PCa survivors. AGEs are produced by the body and are affected by lifestyle, weight and diet.
Recurrence free survival The patients will be followed in regular time intervals in accordance with the EAU-Guidelines (2010) and the S-3 Guideline for Prostate cancer of the German Urological Association. Data will be updated once yearly for until death.
Prostate cancer is the cause of the greatest number of years lived with disability due to cancer. Treatment for prostate cancer is associated with significant side effects, such as fatigue, loss of muscle mass, strength and reduced quality of life. Cardiovascular disease risk is also increased and accounts for the largest cause of mortality in these patients. Exercise and physical activity are known to have benefits in patients with prostate cancer but time, motivation and enjoyment are often barriers. Reduced Exertion High-Intensity Interval Training (REHIT) interventions in the general population achieve similar or greater physiological benefits to continuous moderate intensity exercise but for less time commitment. Higher intensity training is also perceived as more enjoyable in both healthy populations and cancer survivors. REHIT could therefore be a potential solution to these barriers. The aim of this project is to investigate whether a REHIT intervention results in improved cardiorespiratory fitness in patients with prostate cancer. 30 patients will be recruited and randomised to a control group or the intervention group. Both groups will undergo cardiorespiratory fitness testing pre- and post- the 6 week period of the trial. The intervention group will take part in REHIT using maximal oxygen uptake capacity (VO2 MAX) measured on a cycle ergometer. The REHIT intervention will be over 6 weeks, involving 3 sessions per week lasting 10 min and incorporating 2 Wingate sprints of 20 seconds. Pre-intervention values for VO2MAX will be compared to post-intervention values to establish whether REHIT improves cardiorespiratory function in patients with prostate cancer.
