Filter by:The purpose of this research is to determine if using human placental membrane (also called an allograft) helps to improve recovery time for erectile function and bladder control after having robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP) surgery.
This is a multicenter, Phase II randomized biomarker-based therapeutic study in metastatic prostate cancer experiencing prostate specific antigen (PSA) only progression (without visceral, bone or lymph node progression) while on abiraterone therapy.
This study is an open-label, single-arm, pilot, perioperative study of EZH2 inhibition in patients undergoing Radical Prostatectomy (RP). The EZH2 inhibition is intended to increase the sensitivity of the underlying tumor to the patient's immune system. Given the absence of data in this setting, we propose to pilot this experience with 4 weeks of tazemetostat at doses known to be clinically safe and effective at inducing clinical effects via inhibition of EZH2 as established for follicular lymphoma and epithelioid sarcoma: 800 mg twice daily with or without food. Prior to tazemetostat, blood will be collected (4 tubes) for immune cells, Circulating Tumor Cells, and plasma. This will be repeated at the time of RP. RP tissues will be collected. Additionally, patients will have a week lead-in to wear a FitBit Charge 5TM device (or similar model) to continuously monitor physical activity from baseline up until end of study. The start of the week lead-in will be considered the baseline visit. Subjects will also be asked to continue wearing the device until end of study and option to continue for up to 2 years after end of study in follow-up.
The aim of this study is to investigate and possibly validate urinary biomarkers for prostate cancer. During this study the focus will be on aberrations of selected genes as prognostic or predictive value has been shown for these genes in tissue, CTC or blood derived cfDNA. Proteins will be explored in urine as well. This is a prospective study in which urine samples will be collected from healthy volunteers and urine samples and a blood sample from cancer patients with prostate cancer. The participants will be asked to provide a urine sample collected with the ColliPee® device and fill out an online questionnaire to collect usability data. Thereafter, the urine sample will be aliquoted to be used in the study to investigate the different urinary analytes.
The purpose of this study is to assess functional outcomes post operatively after the use of BioDFence® G3 during robotic radical prostatectomy.
Depending on the cohort of the study the diagnostic and prognostic accuracy and health economics considerations of [18F]-fluoro-5α-dihydrotestosterone (FDHT)- positron emission tomography (PET) and/or circulating tumor cells in prostate cancer patients are studied.
NUV-422-04 is an open-label Phase 1b/2 dose escalation and expansion study designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NUV-422 in combination with enzalutamide. The study population is comprised of adults with mCRPC. Patients will self-administer NUV-422 and 160 mg enzalutamide orally in 28-day cycles. Patients will be treated until disease progression, toxicity, withdrawal of consent, or termination of the study.
This study is being done to establish the mechanisms underlying insulin resistance (reduced insulin action that can lead to high blood sugar and maybe diabetes) in patients undergoing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for prostate carcinoma as well as to investigate the role of pioglitazone therapy in reduction/ reversal of that insulin resistance
Prostate cancer is the most common malignancy amongst men in United States. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with long acting gonadotropin releasing hormone agonists is routinely used as adjuvant therapy in intermediate and high risk localized or locally advanced prostate cancer. Since ADT induces insulin resistance and diabetes, it is important that cellular and molecular effects of ADT are investigated to define precisely the mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of insulin resistance. Pioglitazone, a known insulin sensitizer, may provide amelioration of insulin resistance in these patients.
We are conducting a randomised trial comparing outcomes of transperineal prostate biopsies under free-hand software assisted MRI/US fusion with transrectal biopsy guide software assisted MRI/US fusion. Primary outcome is the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer. Secondary outcomes is rate of complications including infection and sepsis, as well as feasibility and patient tolerability.
