Filter by:The purpose of this study is to use a new imaging drug called 11C-choline that is used with a PET/CT scan to see prostate cancer when it cannot be seen well on other scans, such as bone scans, CT or MRI.
The purpose of this study is to collect additional safety data during treatment with abiraterone acetate plus prednisone or prednisolone among adult participants with asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who reside in areas in which abiraterone acetate is not yet available for this indication through local healthcare providers, and who are not eligible for enrollment into an available ongoing clinical study of abiraterone acetate.
When evaluating prostate cancer patients for recurrent disease, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are both highly sensitive methods for detecting lymph nodes, but are not specific as to whether the lymph nodes are malignant or benign. While positron emission tomography (PET) utilizing radioactive glucose (FDG) has revolutionized staging, restaging, and monitoring response to therapy in many prevalent cancers such as breast, colorectal, esophageal, head and neck, lung, lymphoma, and melanoma, findings with prostate cancer have proven less sensitive because prostate cancer has a lower avidity for glucose. A newer PET isotope, utilizing acetate that is incorporated into the cell membrane of rapidly proliferating cells, has shown greater sensitivity than FDG in detecting prostate cancer. This study will assess the clinical effectiveness of utilizing [11C]Acetate PET scans in identifying recurrent prostate cancer.
This study is a prospective, interventional, open-label, multi-center early access program for the use of Ra-223 Cl2 in HRPC/CRPC patients diagnosed with symptomatic bone metastasis and to collect additional short and long term safety data on the product.
This study provides compassionate use of bicalutamide (Casodex) at a 150-mg dose for subjects with prostate cancer prior to it becoming commercially available. The patient will receive bicalutamide 150-mg as long as the physician feels that the subject is benefiting from this therapy and safety information is provided regularly to AstraZeneca. Treatment will be discontinued after bicalutamide 150-mg becomes commercially available.
