Filter by:The Proseven trial is a prospective interventional study that will evaluate the toxicity and efficacy of MR-guided stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in the profound hypofractionated treatment of prostate cancer. Patients will be treated in 5 daily fractions within a short overall treatment time (OTT) of 7 days. A simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) will be delivered to the intraprostatic dominant lesion (if present) in this study. Besides a potential biological impact of this innovative prostate SBRT treatment, the reduced OTT offers also benefits in terms of patient convenience. The primary endpoint is clinician reported grade 2 or more acute gastrointestinal (GI) and genitourinary (GU) toxicity, assessed using CTCAE v 5.0 and RTOG, measured up to 3 months after the first treatment fraction.
Each year over 20,000 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer in Canada with the majority undergoing some form of treatment option. Radical prostatectomy and/or radiation therapy are common procedures that are effective in the treatment of prostate cancer. However, they typically incur both short- and long-term side effects (e.g. urinary incontinence, sexual dysfunction, reduced physical function, etc) that can negatively impact one's quality of life. This program of research aims to address the most critical needs of PC survivors: the development and evaluation of interventions to address the quality of life impact of PC. This study will test the Prostate Cancer Patient Empowerment Program (PC-PEP) in 400 men, a comprehensive intervention aimed at educating and teaching the men life skills/habits in order to improve their mental health issues, fitness levels and overall quality of life, and to decrease treatment related side effects. The program also aims to improve the overall health of the participants in the long term.
RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells. Androgens can stimulate the growth of prostate cancer cells. Hormone therapy can fight prostate cancer by androgen deprivation. It is not yet known if neoadjuvant radiation therapy is a more effective therapy for high-risk prostate cancer. PURPOSE: Two-stage randomized trial to compare the effectiveness and safety of neoadjuvant radiotherapy and hormone therapy followed by radical prostatectomy in men with high-risk locally advanced prostate cancer
The main objective of this project is to establish a shared comprehensive and systematic protocol for a multicenter prospective registry of patients undergoing salvage cryoablation of the prostate (SCAP). Our study hypothesis is that SCAP constitutes an effective and safe approach to treat local prostate cancer recurrence after brachytherapy or external beam radiation therapy (EBRT).
This is a study of the tolerability and safety of neoadjuvant dapagliflozin for patients with high-risk or very high risk prostatic adenocarcinoma prior to radical prostatectomy. The primary hypothesis is that four weeks of daily dapagliflozin prior to surgery is well-tolerated and safe to use in this patient population.
Standard treatment of local or locally advanced prostate cancer is radical prostatectomy (RRP) surgery. During RRP in certain patients extended lymph node dissection (ELND) is recommended. to detect eligible patients for ELND some nomograms based on clinical factors of them is used. The Briganti nomogram is one of them. If the patient has 7% or more probability on Briganti nomogram, then ELND is recommended. But ELND is complicated surgical procedure and may cause labor lost and cost. It is aimed here to show whether the ICG based fluorescence imaging during laparoscopy may yield higher accuracy to detect metastatic LNs than the conventional ELND?
Patient-blinded randomized controlled trial evaluating length and quality of prostate biopsies taken by a novel biopsy needle.
This is a Phase II prospective clinical trial in which patients with prostate carcinoma and obstructive lower urinary tract symptoms electing for radiation therapy will undergo Prostatic Artery Embolization (PAE) prior to treatment. PAE will be administered by Interventional Radiology. Patients will be seen for follow-up at 6 weeks and 12 weeks following PAE after which they will start definitive radiotherapy. After completion of radiotherapy the patient will be seen at 12 weeks
This multinational, multicenter, prospective, randomized, controlled, open label Phase 3 study is designed to investigate and confirm the benefits and risks associated with the PSMA-targeted antibody, 177Lu DOTA rosopatamab administered together with Standard of Care (SoC), as compared to the best SoC alone. The phase 3 will be conducted in patients with metastatic castration-resistant PC (mCRPC) that expresses PSMA and has progressed despite prior treatment with a novel androgen axis drug (NAAD).
This clinical trial studies the effects of a diet and physical activity intervention on blood measures of lipids and insulin resistance in patients with prostate cancer undergoing radiation therapy (RT) and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). ADT effectively slows the growth of prostate cancer cells, thereby enhancing the therapeutic effectiveness of RT. Despite the clinical gains, ADT leads to an array of side effects including insulin resistance, abnormal lipid levels, weight gain, increased visceral fat mass coupled with increased muscle wasting, and quality of life deterioration. A diet and physical activity intervention may intercept or prevent the abrupt metabolic and physiologic changes caused by androgen deprivation therapy in prostate cancer patients receiving ADT and RT.
