Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Neoplasms"

This multinational, multicenter, prospective, randomized, controlled, open label Phase 3 study is designed to investigate and confirm the benefits and risks associated with the PSMA-targeted antibody, 177Lu DOTA rosopatamab administered together with Standard of Care (SoC), as compared to the best SoC alone. The phase 3 will be conducted in patients with metastatic castration-resistant PC (mCRPC) that expresses PSMA and has progressed despite prior treatment with a novel androgen axis drug (NAAD).

This study evaluates the diagnostic performance and safety of [18F]PSMA-1007 PET/CT imaging in patients with suspected recurrence of prostate cancer after previous definitive treatment.

The Multi-OutcoMe EvaluatioN of radiation Therapy Using the Unity MR-Linac Study (MOMENTUM) is a multi-institutional, international registry facilitating evidenced based implementation of the Unity MR-Linac technology and further technical development of the MR-Linac system with the ultimate purpose to improve patients' survival, local, and regional tumor control and quality of life.

Personalisation of radiotherapy dose based on real-time assessments of normal tissue and tumour response would maximise cure and minimise treatment related toxicity. During a 5 fraction course of prostate Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy (SBRT) this pilot study will assess whether a number of different biomarker approaches can predict for normal tissue and tumour response. Firstly the investigators will analyse volatile organic compounds released within the breath with each fraction of treatment. Secondly the investigators will analyse cell free normal tissue and tumour DNA released during treatment. Thirdly the investigators will develop imaging processing algorithms to look for imaging biomarkers predicting rectal wall toxicity using pre and post treatment cone beam CT verification images. Each of these approaches will be assessed against prostate specific antigen (PSA), Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE v4.0) criteria and Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC-26) patient reported outcomes with a maximum of 24 months of follow up.

The purpose of this research is to try to better understand how much information relating to cancer screening and diagnoses that people can recall on their own and to better understand how to help people get better information. In this study, investigators will see if giving time or other resources help individuals remember more and more accurate details about their cancer screening and care.

Patient-blinded randomized controlled trial evaluating length and quality of prostate biopsies taken by a novel biopsy needle.

Of the 50,000 prostate cancers that occur each year in France, more than half will benefit from curative radiotherapy, alone or in combination with hormone therapy from 6 months to 3 years depending on the stage of the disease. At present, there are few ways to predict the response to this irradiation. Evaluating the early response of tumor tissue to irradiation could predict the final response to treatment. It is difficult to offer biopsies during treatment for reasons of patient comfort. This is why this study consists in analysing transcriptomic and protein responses (immunohistochemistry) to irradiation on ex vivo prostate explants. These explants will be irradiated after culture and the transcriptional and immunohistochemical changes analysed before and after irradiation to determine an early tumor tissue response profile to irradiation.

HOPE Prostate is an observational study that aims at promoting research against metastatic prostate cancer by means of collective research led by patients (patient-centric trial). Patients with metastatic prostate cancer living in Spain will voluntarily register and fulfil their journey in the study through the study's digital tool. Mainly they are prompted to answer questionnaires about their disease, and to provide a blood sample and an archival tumor biopsy. In HOPE Prostate these samples will be genomically analyzed and every patient case will be presented in a multidisciplinary molecular advisory board (MAB). The MAB will issue a plain report explaining the significance of the results and will try to enumerate future therapeutic options that match patient history and his genomic profile. Finally, patients will have to answer short follow-up questionnaires twice a year for 3 years. The study data will allow us to advance implementing precision medicine to improve the management of current and specially future metastatic prostate cancer patients.

This clinical trial studies a digital platform, the supportive therapy in androgen deprivation (STAND-T), in achieving equity for men undergoing treatment with androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer. STAND-T is a digital platform that provides prostate health information, evidence-based materials and resources. STAND-T may help improve health, address symptoms, and promote equity in men with prostate cancer.

This phase II trial studies how well giving testosterone at levels higher than normally found in the body (supraphysiological) works to enhance chemotherapy treatment in patients with prostate cancer that has progressed despite being previously treated with androgen therapies and has spread from where it first started (prostate) to other places in the body (metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer). In patients that have developed progressive cancer in spite of standard hormonal treatment, administering supraphysiological testosterone may result in regression of tumors by causing deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) damage in tumor cells that have adapted to low testosterone conditions. Carboplatin is in a class of medications known as platinum-containing compounds. Carboplatin works by killing, stopping or slowing the growth of tumor cells. Etoposide is in a class of medications known as podophyllotoxin derivatives. It blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair and may kill tumor cells. Giving supraphysiological levels of testosterone and carboplatin or etoposide together may be an effective treatment for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
