Filter by:The goal of this randomized study is to test and evaluate nurse-led telephone follow-up intervention in patients primarily curatively treated for breast cancer, colorectal cancer, and prostate cancer. The main question aims to answer: Does this nurse-led telephone follow-up improve patients' quality of life? Participants in both groups will be asked to fill in questionnaires regularly. The intervention group will get a telephone follow-up at predetermined intervals, while the control group will get the care as usual.The investigators will compare intervention and control groups to see if predetermined regular nurse-led telephone follow-up improves quality of life.
HYPO-RT-PC boost is is an open-label, multicentre, phase II trial evaluating safety and efficacy of real-time image-guided tumor-directed ultra-hypofractionated radiation boost and lymph node irradiation for patients with node-negative high risk localized prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer (PCa) is currently the most common cancer in men in Finland (www.cancerregistry.fi). Although prognosis is very good in majority of men, it is noteworthy that still up to 20% of PCa cases are metastatic at the time of initial diagnosis and yearly 900 men die because of prostate cancer. Robust primary staging is, therefore, one of the most important prognostic factors, and it is crucial for treatment decision. Despite their low sensitivity to detect metastasis, bone scintigraphy (BS) and contrast enhanced whole body computed tomography (ce-wbCT) are recommended by current guidelines for primary staging in men at risk of metastasis. MIP-1404 is a small-molecule PSMA inhibitor that can be used in SPECT systems (99mTc-MIP- 1404 SPECT/CT). 99mTc-MIP-1404 SPECT/CT is performed by a single IV bolus of 99mTc-MIP-1404, which binds with high affinity to extracellular domain of PSMA molecule. As of March 2020, a total of 629 subjects have received 99mTc-MIP-1404 injection averaging 740 ±111 MBq (20 ± 3 mCi) per administration in prospective clinical trials. 99mTc MIP-1404 has been well tolerated following a single IV dose at 740 ± 111 MBq in both healthy volunteers and patients with confirmed metastatic prostate adenocarcinoma. In prospective and retrospective studies, it has shown high potential to detect prostate cancer lesions in primary staging. In fact, Goffin et al. reported a sensitivity of 50% and specificity of 87% detecting local lymph node metastasis in radically operated patients when histopathology was used as a reference. This corresponds closely to the sensitivity of PSMA-PET. PROSTAMIP is a randomized prospective single-institutional study to demonstrate superiority of 99mTc-MIP-1404 SPECT/CT compared to traditional imaging modalities (99mTc-HMDP planar BS plus ce-wbCT).
The researchers are doing this study to find out whether copanlisib in combination with degarelix, given before standard surgical treatment (radical prostatectomy), is a safe and effective treatment that causes few or mild side effects for people who have localized high-risk prostate cancer.
The purpose of this research study is to compare the effects, good and/or bad, of using the standard of care treatment, hormonal therapy + Stereotactic Ablative Radiation (SABR) to the metastatic lesions, compared to standard of care and addition of 6-months of niraparib/abiraterone acetate combination pills and prednisone for participants with recurrent metastatic prostate cancer.
This purpose of this study is to examine the placement of proton spots during pencil beam scanning proton therapy for low and intermediate risk prostate cancer. The researchers will test a unique technique called "Spot Delete" to control the placement of spots during treatment planning. They will also use a special computer model to study how the energy of the proton beam (linear energy transfer) is related to rectal and bladder side effects. The study involves creating a treatment plan based on a CT scan, which helps guide the proton beam in the body. The clinical team uses this CT scan to find the best placement for the protons. The "Spot Delete" method prevents protons from stopping in the rectum, sigmoid, and small bowel, which is thought to be related to acute or late toxicities, such as tenesmus, diarrhea, fecal incontinence, proctitis, and rectal hemorrhage.
The goal of this pilot randomized implementation trial is to compare two strategies to reduce low-value androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) use for prostate cancer care. The aim of the study is to compare implementation of the two strategies: use of a clinical reminder order check intervention versus a provider script/patient education approach, and their impacts on low-value ADT use after six months. The main goal of both interventions will be to decrease ADT overuse for patients with prostate cancer, but to do this in a way that is acceptable to the clinicians who treat these patients. Provider participants will engage with one of the interventions triggered in the electronic health record when their patients are deemed likely to be receiving low-value ADT. Provider participants receive only one intervention. The intervention is triggered for every clinic visit involving a patient deemed to be receiving low-value ADT, so provider participants may receive their assigned intervention multiple times. Researchers will compare provider use of both strategies to determine implementation outcomes and whether one was more effective in reducing low-value ADT use.
To assess the effect of web-based 360° Virtual Reality movies on fear and anxiety, The investigators would like to assess the patient-perceived level of fear and anxiety quantitatively, making use of several questionnaires.
This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, randomized, dose finding and dose expansion study to evaluate the safety, preliminary efficacy, and PK of gedatolisib in combination with darolutamide in subjects with mCRPC.
The goal of this observational study is to increase genetic education and genetic testing for hereditary cancer risk among cancer survivors. The study objectives are to: 1. Finalize the development and optimize usability of the CATALYST digital intervention (i.e., also known as relational assistant (RA)) 2. Evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a streamlined cancer genomic care delivery model in cancer survivors. Participants will be randomized to one of two study arms: the RA intervention vs. enhanced usual care (EUC) 3. Assess GC and GT uptake and conduct a process evaluation to measure barriers/facilitators to GC, GT and use of the CATALYST intervention and engagement with the RA.
