Filter by:This phase II trial studies the side effects of ESK981 and nivolumab and to see how well they work for the treatment of castration resistant prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). ESK981 is an investigational drug that targets several important pathways that are believed to play a role in the spread of cancer. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. This study is being done to see if giving ESK981 and nivolumab together works better in treating metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer compared to usual treatments.
An active surveillance protocol for patients diagnosed low-risk prostate cancer will be held. We plan to use PSA (prostate-specific antigen) testing, DRE (digital rectal examination), TRUS (transrectal ultrasound), MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) and follow-up biopsies to monitor patients and detect cancer progression in time.
This phase II trial studies how well gallium-68 PSMA-11 PET/CT works for the diagnosis of prostate cancer with rising PSA following prostatectomy or radiation therapy (biochemically recurrent). Gallium-68 PSMA-11 is a radioactive tracer. PET/CT scans reveal information about both the structure and function of cells and tissues in the body during a single imaging session using a radioactive compound. This trial is being done to see if gallium-68 PSMA-11 PET/CT scan works better in diagnosing prostate cancer compared to standard C-11 choline PET/CT scans.
The purpose of this randomized trial is to investigate the efficacy and toxicity of percutaneous high-dose radiotherapy in patients with oligometastases of hormone refractory prostate cancer. The effectiveness will be tested in comparison to an observation group, in which no further therapy is initially given. Treatment can be stereotactically hypofractionated or conventionally fractionated.
This phase III trial studies whether adding apalutamide to the usual treatment improves outcome in patients with lymph node positive prostate cancer after surgery. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-ray to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Androgens, or male sex hormones, can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Drugs, such as apalutamide, may help stop or reduce the growth of prostate cancer cell growth by blocking the attachment of androgen to its receptors on cancer cells, a mechanism similar to stopping the entrance of a key into its lock. Adding apalutamide to the usual hormone therapy and radiation therapy after surgery may stabilize prostate cancer and prevent it from spreading and extend time without disease spreading compared to the usual approach.
All patients will be required to have a biopsy of a metastatic tumor deposit at study entry. Pembrolizumab will be administered at a dose of 200 mg as a 30 minute IV infusion every 3 weeks. Enzalutamide will be continued at dose of 160 mg orally every day. Patients who have neither rapid disease progression or disease response will undergo a fecal microbiota transplant, have a second biopsy (if medically feasible), and be re-treated with pembrolizumab.
The aim of the study is the evaluation of the possible role of PSMA PET-CT in early detection of prostate cancer, reducing rate of unnecessary prostate biopsies, and in cases of prostate cancer, correct staging of the disease and corresponding management.
INDICATION: Oligometastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer patients. METHODOLOGY: Open label, double arm, randomized 1:1, multicenter phase III study. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy of ablative radiotherapy (SBRT applied to all oligometastases) administered to all gross tumor sites (metastases and prostate if applicable), in oligometastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer patients.
The investigators provided a multicenter analysis aiming to investigate, in a clinical practice setting, the prognostic relevance of previous primary radical prostatectomy (RP) or external beam radiotherapy (RT) in terms of Overall Survival as opposed to patients with no primary treatment performed, in a cohort of patients enrolled in 223-Ra treatment for mCRPC. 223-Ra has been administered from investigators according to the current label authorization and all patients underwent 223-Ra treatment, until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
This is an open label, prospective, trial that begins with a phase Ib safety run-in followed by a phase II expansion cohort.
