Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Neoplasms"

The purpose of this study is to determine whether specific Micro-RNA expression profiles are related to Prostate cancer outcome.

The investigators will evaluate the accuracy of performing cytological imprints of targeted biopsies when diagnosing prostate cancer. It is useful to know whether the biopsy is cancer or not, in order to know when to stop sampling and when to continue. The strategy is used in other types of cancer, e.g lung, breast etc

This study is testing a walking program called Walk with Ease by the Arthritis Foundation with men undergoing treatment for prostate cancer. The researchers are interested in how easy or difficult it is for these men to participate in this program and whether or not is is helpful to them during their care.

This is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, non-randomized study evaluating the ability of [89]Zr-Df-IAb2M to detect local, regional and metastatic prostate cancer confirmed by pathology.

This is a pilot study assessing the role of the general practitioner in performing follow-up reviews on men who have recently completed radical radiotherapy for prostate cancer. This will be measured primarily by assessing any changes to the patient's health-related quality of life which will be evaluated by the completion of questionnaires by the participant at each review visit. The study aims to confirm that patient outcome is identical, independent of whether follow-up is performed by a specialist or the patient's General Practitioner.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the immune response induced by sipuleucel-T (Provenge®).

This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, window of opportunity study investigating the biological mechanism of metformin in prostate cancer.

The Ned case study is a 12-month mixed methods embedded single-case study with a nested within-group pre-post comparison of health outcomes. 400 patients, 200 caregivers, and 10 clinicians will be given access to Ned. Participants will be asked to complete study assessments at baseline, 2 months, 6 months and 12 months. 30 semi-structured qualitative interviews with patients (n=20) and their caregivers (n=10) post-study will also be conducted to gain insight into their experience with the application.

The aim of this phase IV interventional study is to evaluate variation in bone mineral density and lean and fat body composition in patients with prostate cancer without bone metastasis, treated with Degarelix. These variations are evaluated at time 0 (before starting androgen deprivation therapy with Degarelix) and after 12 months of therapy by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA scan).

This clinical trial studies how well an educational intervention works in increasing knowledge about prostate cancer in high-risk neighborhoods. Learning about prostate cancer and the pros and cons of screening for prostate cancer may increase knowledge about prostate cancer while decreasing anxiety and concerns about prostate cancer screening.
