Filter by:The commercialization of MRI fusion biopsies has resulted in a dramatic increase in the use of MRI imaging for prostate cancer. How best to use MRI in the initial prostate biopsy setting given the availability of validated prostate cancer early detection markers is uncertain.This study will allow investigators to determine if prostate MRI is superior to validated panel of laboratory biomarkers (e.g. PCA3, PSA and TMPRSS2:ERG) in the initial biopsy setting.
The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of ablative therapy (radiation or surgery) to all sites of disease combined with standard treatments on prostate cancer, compared to the standard or usual treatments used to treat this disease.
In prior studies, the investigators synthesized 177Lu-EB-PSMA-617 by conjugating a truncated Evans Blue (EB) molecule and DOTA chelator onto PSMA-617 and labeled it with 177Lu to increase the tumor accumulation and retention for radioligand therapy，and then the investigators evaluated the dosimetry of 177Lu-EB-PSMA-617 and response to single low-dose treatment in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer(mCRPC). This study was performed to evaluate the safety and therapy response to 177Lu-EB-PSMA-617 in patients with mCRPC. This is an open-label, randomized study. Different groups with doses of 1.11GBq (30 mCi), 2.00 GBq (54 mCi) and 3.7GBq (100 mCi)of 177Lu-EB -PSMA617 will be injected intravenously. All patients will undergo 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT scans before and after the treatment.
This phase II/III trial studies how well methylphenidate and exercise work in reducing cancer-related fatigue in patients with prostate cancer. Methylphenidate is a type of central nervous system stimulant that can improve cognitive ability, mainly in memory and cognitive function. Exercise can improve mood and the physical aspects of cancer-related fatigue. Giving methylphenidate in combination with exercise may work better in reducing cancer-related fatigue in patients with prostate cancer.
This study will replicate/validate the risk prediction model developed for the Comparative Effectiveness Analysis of Surgery and Radiation (CEASAR) study in a more diverse patient population to assess generalizability of the model as well as evaluate the relative contribution of the Decipher Prostate Cancer Test and ProstateNext Test from Ambry Genetics, to the risk prediction model for estimating treatment outcomes, and thereby improve personalization of treatment options.
This is a prospective study to determine if the use of curcumin randomized against placebo will reduce cancer progression in patients with prostate cancer undergoing active surveillance.
Local cytoreductive treatments for men with newly diagnosed metastatic prostate cancer in addition to standard of care treatment
According to the latest data from the China National Cancer Center, prostate cancer has become the most common tumor in the urinary system since 2008. However, conventional imaging techniques including transrectal ultrasound , computed tomography and bone scintigraphy are not sensitive or specific. About 40% of resectable lesions cannot be detected by these techniques. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) provides a valuable tool for the diagnosis and staging of prostate cancer. Recently, prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) as a new novel positron tracer has shown to be effective to detect primary lesions, recurrent and metastatic lesions of prostate cancer. In this prospective study, the investigators will use the most advanced imaging equipments, integrated PET/MR, and PET/CT with prostate cancer-specific imaging agent 68Ga-PSMA and conventional imaging agent [F-18]fluorodeoxyglucose to image patients with or suspected of prostate cancer, the aim is to explore the value of hybrid PET/MR and PET/CT in prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer biochemical recurrence (BCR) occurs in 20-50% of patients following radical prostatectomy or radiotherapy. Due to significant risk of side effects and uncertainty about the benefits, physicians and patients are seeking alternatives to delay androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for non-metastatic BCR. Long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (LCn3), mainly found in seafood and fatty fish, have beneficial effects against prostate cancer in pre-clinical experimental studies and randomized clinical trials of intermediate prostate cancer outcomes. The current observational evidence also supports testing LCn3 in prostate cancer patients. LCn3 have beneficial effects on inflammation, cardiovascular, psychological, and other outcomes, contrasting sharply with ADT-associated side effects. Investigators propose to conduct a pilot randomized placebo-controlled trial to determine the effects over one year of an innovative LCn3 supplement (5g of omega-3-rich fish oil daily, including 4g of monoglycerides eicosapentaenoic acid (MAG-EPA)) in 40 men experiencing BCR or prostate cancer progression after a curative treatment. This project proposes a simple intervention by dietary supplementation that could eventually help to prevent or delay ADT-related side effects and thus could contribute to diminish the heavy individual and societal burden of prostate cancer. The clinical data generated by this pilot trial will serve as basis for a larger-scale phase II clinical trial.
Pembrolizumab will be administered at a dose of 200 mg will be administered as a 30 minute IV infusion every 3 weeks. Enzalutamide will be administered at dose of 160 mg orally every day. All patients will be required to have at least one high-risk criteria.
