Filter by:This clinical trial aims to design and validate an adaptive virtual consultation tool (AVCT) for men with prostate cancer (PC). An AVCT utilizes health literacy assessments in combination with learning preferences and individual disease characteristics to provide focused and guided knowledge on PC tailored to the individual patient. Using an AVCT to enhance patient education may improve patient understanding and result in higher patient satisfaction with treatment decisions amongst men with PC.
This clinical trial tests the effectiveness of an online weight loss plus resistance training intervention (iLIVE) to decrease obesity and improve frailty in men with prostate cancer who received androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Androgen deprivation therapy increases the risk of frailty, weight gain and obesity in prostate cancer survivors. The combination of frailty and obesity can lead to a decrease in quality of life and an increased risk of recurrent falls. Using iLIVE may improve obesity and frailty in men with prostate cancer who receive ADT.
This phase III trial determines how well the Minority Prostate Cancer (MiCaP) Research Digest works in providing information to black men about the latest prostate cancer research. MiCaP Research Digest may be an effective method to help people learn about prostate cancer.This goal of this trial is to create educational programming that helps Black men make informed decisions about their prostate healthcare since Black men are diagnosed with prostate cancer more than any other race or ethnicity.
This phase II trial tests how well bright white light (BWL) therapy works in reducing cancer-related fatigue and depression in patients with prostate cancer that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced) and who are undergoing treatment with antiandrogen therapy (ADT) combination therapy. Combination treatment including ADT plus chemotherapy and androgen receptor (AR) targeted therapy or ADT plus AR targeted therapies work by reducing testosterone. Most prostate tumor cells rely on testosterone to help them grow; therefore, ADT combination therapy causes prostate tumor cells to die or to grow more slowly leading to improved overall survival in men with advanced prostate cancer when compared with ADT alone. However, lower levels of testosterone is also commonly associated with worsening fatigue and depression. If prolonged and severe, these complications can alter patient treatment plans, impacting not just quality of life, but leading to inadequate cancer control. BWL therapy is a type of phototherapy that utilizes bright white full-spectrum light, either through a light box or light therapy glasses to help regulate circadian rhythms. Circadian rhythms are physical, mental, and behavioral changes that follow a 24-hour cycle, including the sleep-wake cycle which can become disrupted in cancer patients undergoing treatment, leading to increased fatigue. Additionally, exposure to bright light may increase the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that is associated with mood regulation. BWL therapy with AYOpro light therapy glasses may serve as a supportive care measure for men with advanced prostate to help reduce fatigue, as well as improve mood and overall quality of life during ADT combination therapy to maintain cancer care without suffering complications of therapy.
The objective of this pilot cohort study is to investigate associations between CIN and changes in gut microbiome composition profiles.
This is a single-center, open-label, study of Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA)-targeted radionuclide therapy with 177Lu-PSMA-617 in combination with pembrolizumab in participants with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have previously progressed on at least one prior androgen pathway inhibitor (e.g., abiraterone, enzalutamide, apalutamide).
This clinical trial examines weight loss interventions in reducing cancer progression in prostate cancer patients under active surveillance. Intensive lifestyle interventions that recommend modest reductions in daily caloric intake (i.e. continuous calorie energy reduction [CER]) are the gold-standard for weight loss, and have been tested in cancer survivors, including prostate cancer patients. However, few interventions have been developed for low-risk prostate cancer patients on active surveillance. Intermittent fasting (IF) may be superior to CER in the context of prostate cancer progression given its dual role in weight loss and metabolic switching from the use of glucose as a fuel source to the use of fatty acids and ketone bodies. This study may help researchers determine which weight loss strategies can reduce their risk of prostate cancer recurrence, and other negative health effects of being overweight or obese.
This clinical trial evaluates light therapy and occupational therapy in improving cancer related fatigue (CRF) patients with genitourinary cancers. Light therapy is a non-pharmacological and evidence-based intervention for managing fatigue in cancer patients. The use of light therapy can provide a low burden, inexpensive, and easy to disseminate intervention approach that can potentially have a larger impact on CRF. In addition, occupational therapy is a standard, but often underutilized, component of the multi-disciplinary approach to cancer care. Using the combination of light therapy and occupational therapy may be effective in CRF management.
This clinical trial examines RefleXion Medical Radiotherapy System (RMRS) imaging to the standard of care (SOC) [18F]-DCFPyL positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) imaging in patients with prostate cancer. PET is an established imaging technique that utilizes small amounts of radioactivity attached to very minimal amounts of a tracer, [18F]-DCFPyL, that binds to prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) on tumor cells. These PSMA tumor cells can then be identified on PET imaging. CT utilizes x-rays that traverse body from the outside. CT images provide an exact outline of organs and potential inflammatory tissue where it occurs in patient's body. The RMRS is a imaging-therapy combination system that can plan for and deliver radiation therapy as well perform [18F]-DCFPyL PET-CT imaging. Comparing the imaging from the standard of care [18F]-DCFPyL-PET-CT with the [18F]-DCFPyL imaging from RMRS may help improve the quality of the imaging captured and determine if imaging can be done on the RMRS at the same time as planning for radiation therapy, which would reduce the number of scans needed to plan for radiation for prostate cancer.
This clinical trial tests whether the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided transurethral ultrasound ablation (TULSA) procedure is safe and effective in treating patients with intermediate grade prostate cancer. MRI-guided TULSA ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that uses an ultrasound device guided by MRI imaging to deliver high-energy sound waves, producing very high temperature to ablate (destroy) tumor cells in a targeted manner. The MRI-guided TULSA procedure may help patients avoid surgery and help improve prostate cancer patients' quality of life.
