Filter by:The aim of this study is to use multiomics sequencing to explore the molecular characteristics of metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa), especially metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). At the same time, mCRPC models will be constructed, including organoids and animal models, serving as a basic and translational research platform to help identify novel drug targets for mPCa.
The purpose of this study is to assess the detection rate of local relapse after radical prostatectomy with either PSMA or 64Cu-PET/CTs and whether the delineation of relapsed lesions using both methods can facilitate/change the therapeutic strategy of the radiation oncologist
Background: Metastatic castration sensitive and castration resistant prostate cancer (mCSPC and mCRPC) are prostate cancers that have spread to other parts of the body. Use of the drug docetaxel with androgen deprivation therapy can improve survival for men with mCSPC. Researchers want to see if combining this treatment with other drugs can help delay the time it takes for mCSPC and mCRPC to get worse. Objective: To learn if giving docetaxel with M9241 is safe and effective for men with prostate cancer. Eligibility: Men age 18 and older with mCSPC or mCRPC. Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. Their diagnosis will be confirmed. Their symptoms and how well they do their normal activities will be reviewed. They will have blood and urine tests. Their heart will be evaluated. They will have imaging scans of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. They will have bone scans with intravenous (IV) injections of Tc99 to check for tumor spread in the bones. Some screening tests will be repeated during the study. Participants may have tumor biopsies. Participants will get treatment in cycles. Each cycle will last 21 days. They will get docetaxel through IV infusion. They will get M9241 as an injection under the skin. Participants with mCSPC will have up to 6 cycles. Those with mCRPC will be treated until they cannot tolerate the side effects or their disease gets worse. Participants will have a follow-up visit 30 days after treatment ends. Those with mCSPC will then have follow-up visits at the clinic every 3 months.

This is a prospective, open-label, randomized, cross-over, pilot study of reprogramming therapy in patients with recurrent PCa based on rising PSA only. The primary objectives are to compare the disease progression-free rate at the end of 12 weeks of treatment between 5-AZA+ATRA and no therapy and to assess safety of the 5-AZA and ATRA combination. All study enrollees will receive Lupron. After one month, they will be assigned in a 1:1 randomization to either the '5-AZA+ATRA' group or the 'no therapy' group. Patients in the '5-AZA + ATRA' group will receive treatment on a 28-day cycle, in the absence of prohibitive toxicities, for 3 cycles. In the 'no therapy' group, patients will initially be observed for 3 cycles and then receive treatment for 3 cycles, in the absence of prohibitive toxicities. After the treatment period, all patients will be followed for up to 24 months from the start of the study or until the events leading to discontinuation are observed.
Background: Some prostate cancer keeps growing even when testosterone in the body drops to very low levels. This is called castrate-resistant prostate cancer. One treatment is enzalutamide. This is a modern hormonal therapy. But it only works for a certain amount of time and then the cancer becomes resistant to it. Researchers want to see if adding the treatment CRLX101 (formerly IT-101) could make enzalutamide work again for people who have already had it. Objective: To test a new way of treating prostate cancer using CRLX101 plus enzalutamide in people with certain prostate cancer who already had enzalutamide treatment. Eligibility: Adults ages 18 years and older with metastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer who have had enzalutamide treatment Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. They will have blood and urine tests. They will have a scan of the chest/abdomen/pelvis. They will have a bone scan. Participants will get treatment in cycles. A cycle lasts 28 days. They will take enzalutamide by mouth once a day. They will get CRLX101 through an intravenous (IV) every 1 or 2 weeks. Participants will repeat screening tests throughout the study. Participants will have a follow-up visit 3-4 weeks after they stop taking the study drug. They will repeat most screening tests and have an electrocardiogram.

It can be very effective. It is usually given in short doses almost every day for 6 or 7 weeks. Researchers want to see if a shorter schedule can be as effective. They want to see if that causes the same or fewer side effects. Usually, radiation is used to treat the entire area where the prostate was before surgery. In some patients, an area of tumor can be seen on scans. Researchers are also trying to see if they can give less dose to the area usually treated with radiation if the full dose is given to the tumor seen on scans. Objective: To find the shortest radiation schedule that people can tolerate without strong side effects. Eligibility: People at least 18 years old who have had a prostatectomy and will get radiation. Design: Participants will be screened with: - Medical history - Physical exam - Blood and urine tests - Scan that uses a small amount of radiation to make a picture of the body - Scan that uses a magnetic field to make an image of the body - Participants will provide documents that confirm their diagnosis. - Participants may have a scan of the abdomen and pelvis. Before they start treatment, participants will have another physical exam and blood tests. Participants will get radiation each day Monday through Friday. Treatment may last 2, 3, or 4 weeks. Participants may provide a tissue sample from a previous procedure for research. Participants will answer questions about their general well-being and function. About 4-5 weeks after they finish radiation treatment, participants will have a follow-up visit. They will be examined and give a blood sample. They will have 6 follow-up visits for the next 2 years.

However, it is outside the prostate or comes back after treatment, additional therapy may be needed. Current methods of imaging prostate cancer are limited. Researchers want to see if a radiotracer called 18F-DCFPyL can identify prostate cancer in patients who have a high risk of cancer spreading outside the prostate or who have signs of recurrent cancer after treatment. Objectives: To see if the radiotracer 18F-DCFyL can help identify prostate cancer in the body before or after therapy. Eligibility: Men ages 18 and older who have prostate cancer that has been newly diagnosed, or has relapsed after radiation or surgery Design: Participants will be divided into 2 groups. - Group 1 will be men with cancer that has been newly diagnosed as high risk by their doctor who are scheduled to have prostate removal surgery or undergo biopsy before radiation therapy. - Group 2 will be men who have presumed prostate cancer relapse after prostate removal surgery or radiation therapy. Both groups will have scans taken. Participants will lie still on a table in a machine that takes pictures of their body. 18F-DCFyL will be injected by intravenous (IV) line. Participants will be contacted for follow-up after scans. Participants in Group 1 may have surgery to remove their prostate gland or a biopsy to remove some prostate tissue. This procedure will be standard of care and is not a part of this study. They will also have an extra MRI scan of their prostate. For this, a tube, called an endorectal coil, will be placed in their rectum. Other tubes may be wrapped around the inside of their pelvis. A contrast agent will be given by IV. Participants in Group 2 may also undergo an MRI of the pelvis and may have a biopsy of abnormalities found on the 18F-DCFyL scan. Participants will have data about their prostate cancer collected for up to 1 year.

Researchers think an experimental radiotracer called 18F-DCFPyL could find sites of cancer in the body. Objective: To see if 18F-DCFPyL can identify sites of prostate cancer in people with the disease. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older who have metastatic prostate cancer Design: Participants will be screened with: - Blood tests - Physical exam - Medical history Participants will be assigned to 1 of 2 groups based on their PSA. Participants will have 18F-DCFPyL injected into a vein. About 2 hours later they will have a whole-body Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT). For the scan, they will lie on their back on the scanner table while it takes pictures of the body. This lasts about 50 minutes. On another day, participants will have 18F -NaF injected into a vein. About 1 hour later, they will have a whole-body PET/CT. Participants will be contacted 1 3 days later for follow-up. They may undergo PET/Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) either after having a 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT, or in place of PET/CT imaging. A tube may be placed in the rectum. More coils may be wrapped around the outside of the pelvis. If the 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT is positive participants will be encouraged to undergo a biopsy of one of the tumors. The biopsy will be taken through a needle put through the skin into the tumor. Participants will be followed for 1 year. During this time researchers will collect information about their prostate cancer, such as PSA levels and biopsy results. About 4-6 months after scanning is completed, participants may have a tumor biopsy. The biopsy will be taken through a needle put through the skin into the tumor. ...
