Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Neoplasms"

PRORADIUM is a prospective multicentre observational study in metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC), designed to explore prognostic biomarkers in patients undergoing treatment with radium-223.

To address pertinent questions regarding the utilization of stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) to treat prostate cancer. The Florida Robotic Radiosurgery Association (FRRA) launched the first registry for prostate cancer patients treated with SBRT. The registry is designed to track surrogate treatment endpoints including prostate specific antigen (PSA), international prostate symptom score (IPSS),sexual health in men (SHIM), and visual analogue scale (VAS) scores, in addition to physical and survival data. Utilizing an independent vendor (Advertek, Inc.) experienced with the design and implementation of similar electronic registries, FRRA developed a data collection tool that staff members with a basic medical background can use to register and upload pertinent patient data, requiring no more than 20 to 30 minutes per patient. Participating patients will be monitored in follow-up for three years, with analysis and publication of the results semi-annually.

This trial is to determine if prostate target delineation obtained through an ultrasound based system is equivalent in accuracy to the MRI image fusion, and if alignment correction vectors obtained from ultrasound imaging are of equivalent accuracy to orthogonal X-ray imaging for daily prostate positioning.

The purpose of this study is to develop and validate a blood-based diagnostic test that will predict prostate biopsy outcome as positive or negative for prostate cancer. Such a test will serve to reduce the number of unnecessary prostate biopsies.

This study aims to use the new molecular probe 18F-PSMA for the diagnosis,staging ,recurrence monitoring and evaluation of the prostate cancer.By compared with the conventional imaging methods (whole body bone scintigraphy and MRI) and molecular imaging methods (11C-choline PET/CT),we hope to find the advantages of 18F-PSMA PET/CT in the diagnosis and metastases of prostate cancer, and lay the foundation for the further clinical transformation.

Prostate cancer screening with PSA is plagued by high rate of unnecessary prostate biopsies, especially in the "gray zone" (4.00ng/ml e 10.99ng/ml). We introduce a new circulating-tumor-cell (CTC) biomarker for detection of prostate cancer in patients in the PSA "gray zone" level, with the clinically verified potential to substantially decrease the number of unnecessary prostate biopsies.

This project seeks to use advanced imaging (specifically, positron emission tomography/computed tomography [PET/CT]) to detect, locate, and characterize recurrent disease in the setting of patients with prostate cancer.

A multi-site study to evaluate the potential use of the ChEC test of seminal fluid as an additional triage test in stratifying patients for further tests.

This study is prospective evaluation of quality of life in men undergoing robotic assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy versus radical retropubic prostatectomy.

The purpose of this research study is to assess outcomes of treatment for early prostate cancer. Current treatments for early (non-metastatic) cancer may cause long-term impairments in the patients quality of life. In this study we will compare the outcomes of patients treated with two alternative brachytherapy (seed implants) techniques using a series of questionnaires.
