Filter by:The randomized phase 2 FLEX MRT compares a group of patients treated with LuPSMA on a flexible and extended dosing schedule including "treatment holiday" periods (investigational arm, up to 12 cycles) to a control group treated with a fixed dosing schedule of 6 treatments cycles maximum administered every 6 weeks. The flexible dosing schedule in the investigational arm, will be based on SPECT/CT response assessments obtained 24h after injection of LuPSMA therapy cycle. The response assessment during treatment holiday period will be based on PET/CT every 12 weeks.
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of autologous CD8+ and CD4+ lentivirally transduced to express L1CAM-specific chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) and EGFRt mutation specific T cells and to see how well they work in treating patients with small cell neuroendocrine prostate cancer (SCNPC) that has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes (locally advanced) and cannot be removed by surgery (unresectable) or has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic). CAR T-cell therapy is a type of treatment in which a patient's T cells (a type of immune system cell) are changed in the laboratory so they will attack tumor cells. T cells are taken from a patient's blood. Then the gene for a special receptor that binds to a certain protein on the patient's tumor cells is added to the T cells in the laboratory. Some solid tumor cells have an L1CAM protein on their surface, and T cells can be modified with a receptor, called a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), to help recognize this protein and kill these tumor cells. Large numbers of the CAR T cells are grown in the laboratory and given to the patient by infusion for treatment of certain cancers. These L1CAM mutation specific T cells may help the body's immune system identify and kill L1CAM locally advanced and unresectable or metastatic small cell neuroendocrine prostate cancers' tumor cells.
This phase III trial compares the use of contrast-enhanced multiparametric ultrasound (mp-US) to multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mp-MRI) for the diagnosis of clinically significant prostate cancer (PCa). A mp-US is a procedure in which a probe that sends out high-energy sound waves is inserted into the rectum. The sound waves are bounced off internal tissues or organs and make echoes. The echoes form a picture of body tissue called a sonogram. Perflutren lipid michrosphere (Definity) is a contrast agent that uses microbubbles to enhance ultrasound images of the prostate. Doctors hope to learn if the Definity-enhanced mp-US imaging technique can accurately direct targeted biopsy for the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer when compared to standard of care mp-MRI.
This phase II trial studies how well 18F-DCFPyL positron emission tomography (PET)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) works for the diagnosis of prostate cancer in men with a PSA greater than or equal to 2 ng/mL. 18F-DCFPyl is a radioactive injectable imaging agent made of a prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) that attaches to tumor cells, which makes it useful for the diagnosis of prostate cancer. A PET scan is an imaging tool that may help find the location of cancer, by using a radioactive drug and a computer to create images of how organs and tissues in the body are functioning. A mp-MRI is used to help determine the extent of a patient's cancer. A MRI scan uses strong magnets and computers to create detailed images of the soft tissue in the body. This trial aims to compare PET scans to prostate specific mp-MRI to evaluate prostate cancer severity in men with a positive screen for prostate cancer.
