Filter by:The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate a screening method to detect clinically relevant prostate cancer. This clinical trial is using genetic data to determine a man's risk of cancer, together with multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) to identify men with higher grade cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: - If genetic data related to prostate cancer used with MRI can identify higher-grade, potentially fatal prostate cancer - What age a MRI is useful clinically for prostate cancer screening - If deep learning methods used with MRI when the genetic risk of the man is known can more accurately predict significant cancers Participants will: - Get a prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood test - Get an mpMRI - Get the results of their genetic data to determine if they are considered high-, intermediate-, or low-risk for prostate cancer based on the trials genetic testing - Follow-up for this trial based on the participants risk and findings from the PSA test and mpMRI
Extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND) is considered the gold standard for nodal staging in men with prostate cancer (PCa). The aim of this project is to determine if preoperative prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomograpy (CT) can safely replace ePLND as a staging method in PCa patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP).
Prostate cancer is the most common solid cancer affecting male patients worldwide. When diagnosed early, it can usually be cured with surgery (radical prostatectomy), but this procedure is associated with side effects such as urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction. If the nerves that surround the prostate are left intact (nerve-sparing), the risk of developing these side effects decreases. However, since these nerves are in intimate contact with the prostate there is a chance of leaving cancer cells behind, with the subsequent need for additional treatments. Sadly, the current methods surgeons use to select patients who can safely be offered nerve-sparing are not very accurate in predicting where the tumour is extending outside the prostate. NeuroSAFE is a technique that can inform the surgeon if there are tumour cells on the surface of the prostate and indicate the need for removing more tissue during the same operation. However, it requires a specialised team to process the sample in a reasonable amount of time that does not excessively prolong the surgery. Therefore, many centres are not able to perform it. A new technology called fluorescence confocal microscopy (LaserSAFE) can be used to examine the surface of the prostate and can identify when cancer is present. Critically, it requires minimal training and resources to produce results in a few minutes and the microscope can be placed in the operating room. We aim to recruit a group of 20 patients who will undergo radical prostatectomy as a treatment for prostate cancer. The prostate specimen will be analysed using both techniques, but decisions on how much tissue to resect during surgery will depend on the results of NeuroSAFE. This feasibility study will allow us to understand the challenges associated with performing both techniques. This will allow us to plan a larger study to evaluate the accuracy of LaserSAFE.
This is a single-center, observational, prospective and retrospective study on quality of life and disease status of patients who underwent prostate biopsy and/or radical prostatectomy.
For this proposed Phase III study, unfavorable intermediate risk prostate cancer patients will be randomized to receive 6 months of Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) in conjunction with stereotactic body radiation therapy/radiosurgery (SBRT) directed to the prostate versus SBRT alone. The patient population will include those with National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN)-defined unfavorable intermediate risk disease. All patients will be followed every 6 months for up to 5 years from the first patient randomized and will undergo a routine 24-30 months post-SBRT prostate biopsy to assess for local tumor control.
The primary purpose of this study is to determine the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of Debio 4228.
This is a two-part, open-label, multicenter, dose escalation and dose expansion study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PDx), and anti- tumor activity of ETX-19477, a novel reversible small molecule inhibitor of PARG.
This is an open label, phase II trial in subjects with treatment naïve, metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) with deleterious HRR alteration(s). These include pathologic alterations in BRCA 1/2, BRIP1, CHEK2, FANCA, PALB2, RAD51B, and/or RAD54L. A total of 64 people will be enrolled to the study.
The goal of this multicenter clinical trial is to compare the cancer detection rates of MRI artificial intelligence-guided cTB (AI-cTB) and routine cTB, and explore the added value of using AI for the guidance of cTB. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does AI-cTB promote the accurate diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer? What's the value of prostate MRI artificial intelligence assistant diagnosis system in developing the best scheme of prostate biopsy? What's the value of prostate MRI artificial intelligence assistant diagnosis system in predicting the pathological results of prostate targeted biopsy? What's the generalizability of the MRI artificial intelligence assistant diagnosis system? Researchers will compare the cancer detection rates of AI-cTB and routine cTB to explore the added value of using AI for the guidance of cTB. Participants will: Receive AI-cTB or routine cTB.
The purpose of this prostate cancer research study is to learn about: 1. Improving control of prostate cancer using radiation therapy, delivered to the para-aortic and pelvic lymph nodes, in addition to systemic androgen suppression therapy; 2. Preserving quality of life after radiation therapy; 3. Leveraging imaging results from prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) scans to evaluate and manage disease progression.
