Filter by:A randomized clinical trial conducted by Oslo University Hospital between 2010 and 2012 included 438 patients with prostate cancer to the non-MRI group (216) or the MRI group (222) before robot-assisted radical prostatectomy (RALP). The primary endpoint was to compare the nerve-sparing surgery types and the proportion of positive surgical margins (PSM) in each group. The MRI group underwent more non-nerve sparing surgery, whereas the proportion of PSM was similar in both groups (p=0.4) [1]. Since the long-term effects of preoperative MRI are unknown, we aimed to assess the variations in the long-term functional and oncological outcomes between the groups.
The goal of this retrospective, observational study is to preliminarily learn about the safety and efficacy of two-step radical prostatectomy in the treatment of low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancer patients with enlarged prostate and severe benign prostatic hyperplasia. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Whether two-step prostatectomy is safe enough to decrease the surgical difficulty of these patients? 2. Whether the oncologic control is promising?
This is a single center, blinded (the mpMRI will be read by expert personnel not aware of the patient's diagnosis ), retrospective study. A total of 200 patients with suspicious prostate cancer (PCa) who underwent, between January 2014 and January 2022, mpMRI of the prostate and subsequent prostate biopsy will identified. All mpMRI images will be retrospectively collected and evaluated using the Quantib Prostate software. In particular, 200 mpMRI with endorectal coil will be read by the expert radiologist and by the Quantib prostate (Quantib B.V. Rotterdam, The Netherlands) software, thus evaluating the predictive characteristics of Quantib Prostate for the identification of suspicious lesions. The sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value, positive predictive value and accuracy of Quantib Prostate vs. radiologist in detecting csPCa will be evaluated using the biopsy report as reference standard.
This will be an open label, Phase I study to assess the efficacy of a reduced 500 mg dose of abiraterone acetate in patients with metastatic prostate cancer. Eligible metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) and metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients newly initiated on abiraterone acetate treatment will be recruited to receive a reduced 500 mg dose of abiraterone acetate plus prednisolone. The study treatment duration will span 12 weeks, after which patients being administered the reduced dose will be reverted to the standard 1000 mg dosing. Follow-up for mCRPC and mHSPC patients will last for 18 and 36 months respectively. The main question the study aims to answer is whether dose reduction of abiraterone acetate to 500 mg would achieve antitumor activity in mCRPC and mHPSC patients comparable to standard of care.
This is a single-center, observational, prospective study on quality of life and disease status of patients who underwent radical prostatectomy. Data related to clinical conditions (oncological, psychological, sexual and quality of life) of these patients are collected in a database.
The purpose of this study is to learn about- for how long are NHTs taken by men to treat mCSPC. NHTs in this study include study medicines: - abiraterone, - apalutamide, - enzalutamide. Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men. The prostate is a gland in the male body that helps make semen. Metastatic cancer is a cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Most prostate cancers need male hormones to grow. When cancer cells respond to treatment that lowers male hormones, this is known as castration-sensitive prostate cancer. This is a real-world study, not a clinical trial. This means that researchers will look at what happens when men receive the treatments prescribed by their own doctor as part of their usual healthcare treatment. In this study, researchers will use information from National Veteran's Affairs (VA) Health Care Network. The study will include patients' information from the database for men who: - were identified to have mCSPC. - started treatment with NHT for mCSPC. - were 18 years of age or older at start of NHT. Men in this study will be taking NHT for treatment of their mCSPC. The study will explain: - how long men take the therapy. - how long it takes to start next therapy. This study will use patient information about medications and treatments from VA data. This study will use information one year before start of NHT until information is available.
Prostate cancers (PCA) are a heterogeneous group which include indolent tumors that has no clinical significance to very aggressive cancer that could result in morbidities and mortality. Thus, an accurate risk stratification at the time of PCA diagnosis is crucial. The histological examination of PCA biopsy specimens could not accurately predict the final tumor aggressiveness shown on radical prostatectomy specimens because of heterogeneous distributions of the most malignant tumor cells. Prostate multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) has been generally accepted to be the best imaging modality for detecting and localizing prostate cancers themselves. Furthermore, the rapid development of radiomics provide comprehensive quantitative information of all tumor data which could be used for risk stratification and prognosis prediction. Thus, this study plans to enroll 200 eligible patients who undergo prostate mpMRI first, followed by radical prostatectomy for prostate cancers. We use radiomics extracted from prostate mpMRI for risk stratification patients of histological aggressiveness as well as to predict very early recurrence of PCA patients within 6 months after radical prostatectomy.
The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of opevesostat in the treatment of Japanese men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) previously treated with Next Generation Hormonal Agent (NHA) and taxane-based chemotherapy.
This is a phase II, randomized, open label study comparing first line therapy with AThis is a phase II, randomized, open label study comparing first line therapy with ADT + abiraterone (doublet arm) or ADT + abiraterone + docetaxel (triplet arm) in low volume, metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). This is a phase II, randomized, open label study comparing first line therapy with Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT) + abiraterone (doublet arm) or ADT + abiraterone + docetaxel (triplet arm) in low volume, metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). The hypothesis being asked in this trial is whether first line treatment with ADT plus an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (abiraterone) as a doublet regimen compared to ADT plus an androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (abiraterone) and docetaxel, as a triplet regimen results in superior outcomes for patients with low volume mHSPC. We plan to enroll patients with mHPSC that meet the CHAARTED criteria for low disease volume. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to either treatment arm: - doublet arm: abiraterone +ADT or - triplet arm: abiraterone + ADT + docetaxel. All subjects must receive ADT of the Investigator's choice (LHRH agonist/antagonists or orchiectomy) as standard therapy, started = 12 weeks before randomization.
This is an open-label feasibility/pilot study to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the FocalPoint System with UnfoldAI. In this study, the investigators intend to use the UnfoldAI software to identify cancer margins and create ablation treatment plans and use the FocalPoint System to deploy and monitor thermal energy in cancerous regions of the prostate. Subjects will be assessed at 1 week, 1 month, and every 3 months until one-year post-FLA treatment(s) to be monitored for adverse events and complete quality-of-life questionnaires.
