Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Neoplasms"

The study is a non-randomized, prospective trial of men scheduled for radical prostatectomy for treatment of prostate cancer as standard of care and will undergo a series of pre-operative multi-modality imaging studies. Pre-operative imaging will be correlated with actual pathology results and statistical modeling performed to determine the most informative imaging biomarkers in predicting cancer location and aggressiveness (Gleason Score).

This is a multi-center, open-label, single arm Phase III clinical trial for the diagnostic efficacy assessment and safety evaluation by [18F]Florastamin PET/CT imaging examination to determine the presence of recurrent or metastatic prostate cancer in patients whose recurrent or metastatic lesions have been confirmed through the conventional imaging.

Today, many centers still perform Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) cognitive prostate biopsy. The efficacy of detecting clinically significant prostate cancer, which is thought to be due to the experience of the urologist who performed the sampling and the difference in experience of the radiologists who performed the Multiparametric Prostate Magnetic Resonance (MPMR) evaluation, has been reported between 25% and 34% in the literature. In order to eliminate this reporting and sampling difference, The goal of this interventional study is to compare the effectiveness of Multiparametric Prostate Magnetic Resonance (MPMR) Imaging routinely taken before biopsy with a single-center randomized and prospective study and prostate biopsies to be performed by the same urologist with the mapping technique created by a single genitourinary radiologist working in our center with standard cognitive prostate biopsy and to contribute to the literature Type of study: Clinical trial participant population: Male patients with elevated serum Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) or indicated prostate biopsy by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) imaging and underwent Multiparametric Prostate Magnetic Resonance (MPMR) before the procedure Participants will undergo transrectal prostate biopsy with or without mapping, Researches will compare to see if the cancer detection rates differ

The objectives of this study are to evaluate the feasibility and safety of [99mTc]Tc-PSMA-T4 in the diagnosis and treatment planning of prostate cancer.

Obesity could increase the risk of many chronic diseases, including hypertension, cardiovascular diseases, high lipid level, diabetes, stroke, endometrial cancer and certain types of cancer which could benefit by secondary prevention through screening programs. The World Cancer Research Fund of the American Institute for Cancer Research has reviewed all the studies about the link between obesity and cancer. Studies shown that obesity is an independent risk factor for colorectal, breast and prostate cancer. These three cancers (will be named as "obesity-related cancers" thereafter) demonstrate a rapidly increasing trend of incidence in Asia in the past decade. Among Chinese adults of Hong Kong in 2014, 39% were overweight or obese (compared with 20.9% reported in European adults in the same year) and up to 69.7% reported that they did not perform any measures to achieve optimal weight control. Men (49.6%) had a higher proportion of overweight or obesity than females (29.5%). Adults who are aged 45-54 had the highest rate (50.5%) of overweight or obesity than other age groups. In addition, there were 62.5% whose physical activity level did not meet the recommendations from the World Health Organization (WHO). Only 18.7% consumed at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables per day; yet about 30% were alcoholic drinkers; and more than 10% were daily or occasional smoker. These figures imply that the incidence of obesity and obesity-related cancers will further escalate - and urgent actions at the community level are needed to combat the rising incidence and mortality of these conditions. According to Hong Kong Cancer Registry, the discrepancy between the number of new cases (incidence) and number of deaths (mortality) is much higher for colorectal, breast and prostate cancer as compared to other cancers. It is well recognized that screening could effectively reduce mortality for these three obesity-related cancers when they are detected at an earlier stage. The concept of a one-stop approach to screen for multiple cancers was found to be feasible, with an ability to detect a wide range of neoplastic lesions at an early stage. In the recent decade, there are also emerging centres that have been established as multi-cancer screening clinics worldwide. Nevertheless, there is a scarcity of studies that have highlighted the outcomes of these multi-cancer screening programs.

The proposed ONE TEAM Study is an 18-month, cluster randomized controlled trial. This study will use a sequential multiple assignment randomized trial (SMART) design with a second randomization for the intervention group using a dynamic treatment regimen approach. The investigators propose to randomize 800 adults with newly-diagnosed selected cancers treated with curative intent (breast, prostate, colorectal, endometrial, non-small cell lung, and endometrial) and with >1 selected cardiovascular disease (CVD) comorbidity (hypertension, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypercholesterolemia). Participants will be enrolled through Duke Cancer Institute and two community-based oncology practices, both settings serving socio-demographically diverse populations. The unit of randomization will be the PCP clinic; there will be ~80 PCP clinics across North Carolina involved in the study. The overarching goals of this study are to improve chronic disease management and communication among cancer survivors by engaging PCPs as active members of the cancer care team and reframing the message to cancer survivors and providers. A diversity supplement with retrospective and qualitative components has been added to abstract older adults with solid tumors who underwent cancer surgery at DUHS. Aims include (1) to estimate the prevalence of cardiovascular complications ≤90 postoperative days among older adults with solid tumors undergoing surgery, and its association with care coordination between surgical providers and PCPs ; (2) to develop a risk index for cardiovascular complications ≤90 days of surgery among older adult patients with a solid tumor; and (3) to Assess experience and perceptions of PCPs on care coordination with surgical providers of older adults with a solid tumor following cancer surgery.

Adult male patients with high-risk, localized prostate cancer and planning to undergo radiation therapy (RT) with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) will undergo an advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) examination called Restriction Spectrum Imaging (RSI-MRI) to evaluate whether RSI-MRI can predict treatment response.

Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-targeted PET imaging with 68Ga-labeled compounds is able to provide superior sensitivity and specificity to detect primary prostate tumor and its metastases, like the widely studied 68Ga-PSMA-617. This pilot study was prospectively designed to evaluate the early dynamic distribution of 68Ga-P16-093, a novel radiopharmaceutical targeting PSMA, which was compared with 68Ga-PSMA-617 in the same group of prostate cancer patients.

The project aims at assessing the role of radio-guided surgery in the detection of lymph node invasion (LNI) in prostate cancer (PCa) patients undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP) by using an intraoperative gamma probe and a radioactive labelled PSMA ligand (99mTc-PSMA-I&S). We hypothesize that 99mTc-PSMA-I&S radio-guided surgery (99mTc-PSMA-RGS) might assist physicians in the identification of patients with LNI candidate for an extended pelvic lymph node dissection (ePLND). Overall, 100 men with a LNI risk >5% according to the Briganti nomogram will be submitted to 68Ga-PSMA PET/MRI followed by 99mTc-PSMA-RGS and ePLND. The aims are 1) to assess the safety and tolerability of 99mTc-PSMA-I&S; 2) to assess the accuracy of 99mTc-PSMA-RGS in the identification of LNI compared to available clinical tools and to molecular imaging (i.e., 68Ga-PSMA PET/MRI); 3) to assess whether 99mTc-PSMA-RGS would allow for the identification of positive nodes outside the standard ePLND template.
