Filter by:This phase II trial evaluates apalutamide in combination with image-guided stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for the treatment of patients with prostate cancer. Prostate cancer usually needs the hormone testosterone to grow. Apalutamide is a hormone therapy that blocks the effect of testosterone on prostate tumor cells. This may help stop the growth of tumor cells that need testosterone to grow. Image-guided SBRT is a standard treatment for some types of prostate cancer. This treatment combines imaging of cancer within the body, with the delivery of therapeutic radiation doses produced on a linear accelerator machine. SBRT uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. Combining apalutamide with image-guided SBRT may increase a prostate cancer patient's chances of achieving an extremely low prostate specific antigen response, which is an early predictor of disease cure.
To learn if the proposed dose of 177Lu rhPSMA-10.1 is safe. Phase 2 will open if the Phase 1 dose is found to be safe. To learn about the safety and effects of 177Lu rhPSMA-10.1 alone and with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) on patients with high-risk, localized prostate cancer before they have surgery to remove the disease.
The overarching goal of this trial is to develop mechanisms to improve cardiovascular care among such prostate cancer patients receiving ADT by increasing patient awareness of individualized cardiovascular risk estimates and mitigation opportunities. Patients will be given access to a web-based quality improvement tool to educate patients of cardiovascular risks in prostate cancer and to inform them of their individualized, estimated cardiovascular risk and guideline-based risk mitigation recommendations. The study will assess the feasibility of this web-based application as a cardiovascular education tool for patients with prostate cancer. The study will also evaluate if completion of the web-based tool improves cardiovascular care access and risk mitigation for patients with prostate cancer.
Currently, despite the advent of next-generation imaging has improved the detection of Oligometastatic prostate cancer (OMPC), prognostic biomarkers able to stratify patients and monitor treatment response are lacking and urgently needed. Mounting evidence suggests that molecular profiling of the disease and host immune activity evaluation can reveal OMPC heterogeneity and address the above unmet clinical need. This study aims at combining the analysis of several biomarkers to improve the prognostic stratification of OMPC patients
Accurate preservation of neuro-vascular bundles is crucial in guaranteeing erectile function recovery after robot assisted radical prostatectomy (RARP). However, the nerve sparing approach is associated with higher rates of positive surgical margins (PSM) at final pathology. Augmented reality (AR) RARP was previously associated with a 10-15% reduction in the rates of PSMs in two retrospective series. However, prospective studies are needed to demonstrate clinical utility and to validate these technologies. The hypotheses of this study are that: 1) AR RARP reduces the rates of PSMs, if compared to standard approach; 2) AR RARP can guarantee a more accurate preservation of neurovascular bundles and, in consequence, a greater recovery of erectile function; 3) the lower rates of PSMs will translate in greater oncological control of the disease.
Asymptomatic patients with metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) without pain due to prostate cancer will be treated on an open label study to evaluate effectiveness of sequential treatment with the combination of difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) and high dose testosterone in sequence with enzalutamide to improve primary and secondary outcomes.
The aim for this study is to assess the diagnostic performance of 64Cu-SAR-bisPSMA PET to detect regional nodal metastases.
This is an open-label, phase I/IIa dose escalation and expansion study of INKmune in men with mCRPC. INKmune is administered to patients intravenously over three doses, at least one-week apart. The study will consist of two stages.
The aim of this observational study is to show the superiority of the bidirectional barbed suture (Symmcora® Longterm) in terms of time to perform the vesicourethral anastomosis after robot assisted radical prostatectomy compared to the available literature data, without an increase in the complication rate.
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety of the AQUABEAM Robotic System in treating patients with localized prostate cancer. Participants will go through baseline and follow up assessments up to 12 months.
