Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Neoplasms"

The widespread availability of screening coupled with high risks of over diagnosis, over treatment, and a rising risk of dying from competing causes of deaths pose a major challenge for prostate cancer patients and our health care system. Data on outcomes and identification of patients who are likely to benefit from therapies are urgently needed to empower patients and health professionals and to allocate limited health resources wisely. The long-term goal of this population-based study is to improve prostate cancer care for elderly patients. In 2004, approximately thirty percent of the 230,110 new prostate cancer cases diagnosed will be in men over age 75. Elderly men have a high risk of being diagnosed with prostate cancer, but a relatively low risk of dying of this disease, and are often excluded from cancer trials. While the value of primary androgen deprivation for localized prostate cancer remains questionable, this treatment is widely used among elderly patients. Currently, there is insufficient outcomes data to guide treatment choices for elderly patients.The following are the key background considerations that provide the rationale for this proposed project:· Prostate cancer is prevalent among elderly men. · Over diagnosis and competing causes of death are important issues for elderly men with prostate cancer.· Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is being increasingly used as primary therapy among elderly patients with localized disease· There are insufficient outcomes data to support the use of primary androgen deprivation for non metastatic prostate cancer· Preliminary dataThe study population in this sub-project is a sub-sample of the large study (IRB # 5177 ) and the research methods are identical in both studies.

This is an expanded access program using 68Ga PSMA-HBED-CC (68Ga-PSMA-11). The primary goal of this expanded access program is to make 68Ga PSMA-11 PET/CT imaging available to patients.

This expanded access protocol provides eligible participants with investigational 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET imaging to detect and localize prostate cancer for initial and subsequent treatment strategy.

In this expanded access IND study, Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN offers [Ga-68] PSMA-11 PET/CT or PET/MR imaging to patients who meet criteria.

This is a prospective, Phase 2, single-center, open-label study of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET scans in patients with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer or those diagnosed and untreated with high risk or very high risk localized prostate cancer, or oligometastatic (defined as three or fewer metastatic lesions on conventional imaging) prostate cancer (using NCCN classification for localized disease). Approximately 300 patients are planned for enrollment in this study, divided into two cohorts. Cohort A will be 225 patients in the recurrent setting. Cohort B will be 75 patients in the up-front newly diagnosed setting. After a screening period (6-week window), eligible patients will undergo baseline assessments as per the Schedule of Study Activities. Patients will receive a single dose of 68Ga-PSMA-11 and undergo a PET/CT or PET/MRI imaging study.

The purpose of this pre-approval access is to provide Niraparib plus Abiraterone Acetate (Nira/AA combination) in the treatment of (a) participant(s) with first line metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer with specific Homologous Recombination Repair (HRR) gene alterations.

Provide pre-approval single-patient Expanded Access (Compassionate Use) of talazoparib for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

The purpose of this study is to provide clinical access to PET/CT and PET/MRI with C-11 choline for evaluation of men with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer while awaiting approval of the Washington University Abbreviated New Drug Application for C-11 choline.

This study provides fluorine F 18 DCFPyL positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) to participants with prostate cancer that has come back. Diagnostic procedures, such as fluorine F 18 DCFPyL PET/CT, may help find and diagnose prostate cancer and find out how far the disease has spread.

The purpose of this research study is to see if patients' tumor can be identified by 18F-DCFPyL PET/MRI scan. The radioactive study agent, 18FDCFPyL, combined with PET/MRI scan may be able to identify smaller tumors than the standard of care contrast-enhanced CT or MRI scan.
