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).

The PIONEER Initiative stands for Precision Insights On N-of-1 Ex vivo Effectiveness Research. The PIONEER Initiative is designed to provide access to functional precision medicine to any cancer patient with any tumor at any medical facility. Tumor tissue is saved at time of biopsy or surgery in multiple formats, including fresh and cryopreserved as a living biospecimen. SpeciCare assists with access to clinical records in order to provide information back to the patient and the patient's clinical care team. The biospecimen tumor tissue is stored in a bio-storage facility and can be shipped anywhere the patient and the clinical team require for further testing. Additionally, the cryopreservation of the biospecimen allows for decisions about testing to be made at a later date. It also facilitates participation in clinical trials. The ability to return research information from this repository back to the patient is the primary end point of the study. The secondary end point is the subjective assessment by the patient and his or her physician as to the potential benefit that this additional information provides over standard of care. Overall the goal of PIONEER is to enable best in class functional precision testing of a patient's tumor tissue to help guide optimal therapy (to date this type of analysis includes organoid drug screening approaches in addition to traditional genomic profiling).

Our intent is to establish the International Registry to Improve Outcomes in Men with Advanced Prostate Cancer (IRONMAN) as a prospective, international cohort of minimum 5,000 men with advanced cancer, including men with mHSPC and M0/M1 CRPC. The goal is to establish a population-based registry and recruit patients across academic and community practices from Australia, Barbados, Brazil, Canada, Ireland, Jamaica, Kenya, Nigeria, Norway, Spain, South Africa, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom (UK), and the United States (US). Target accrual number and number of participating sites are subject to change based on accrual, funding, and interest in participation by other international sites. This cohort study will facilitate a better understanding of the variation in care and treatment of advanced prostate cancer across countries and across academia and community based practices. Detailed data will be collected from patients at study enrollment and then during follow-up, for a minimum of five years. Patients will be followed prospectively for overall survival, clinically significant adverse events, comorbidities, changes in cancer treatments, and PROMs. PROMs questionnaires will be collected at enrollment and every three months thereafter. Physician Questionnaires will be collected from all participating sites at patient enrollment, time of first change in treatment and/or one year follow-up, at each subsequent change of treatment, and discontinuation of treatment. As such, this registry will help identify the treatment sequences or combinations that optimize overall survival and PROMs for men with mHSPC and M0/M1 CRPC. By collecting blood at enrollment, time of first change in treatment and/or one year follow-up (plasma, cell free DNA, buffy coat / RNA), this registry will further identify and validate molecular phenotypes of disease that predict response and resistance to specific therapeutics. Additionally, every effort will be made to collect blood specimen at each subsequent change in treatment due to progression of disease. When feasible, existing tumor tissue may be collected for correlation with described blood based studies. All samples will be used for future research. This cohort study will provide the research community with a unique biorepository to identify biomarkers of treatment response and resistance.

This is an observational, prospective (study following participants forward in time), multi-center (study conducted in more than 1 center) study to identify the predictive factors that will effectively predict the response to abiraterone treatment in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The entire duration of study will be approximately 3 year. Participants will primarily be evaluated for achieving biochemical or radiological progression after receiving abiraterone treatment based on EAU 2017 practice guideline criteria. For this, we put our attentions on the HOXB3 (an alternative factor of WNT signaling pathway), FKBP5 (FK506 Binding Protein 5, Androgen-regulated gene), NTS (neurotensin, neuroendocrine differentiation can be induced by NTS) and YAP1 (yes-associated protein 1, a biomarker for cancer stem cell), which are selected from the data of gene-array for various subtypes of CRPC (unpublished data). Response to abiraterone treatment will also be predicted using other androgen-regulated genes like AKR1C3 and PCNA.

The purpose of this research study is to learn about: 1) How standard radiation treatment to prostate (primary radiotherapy) or the pelvis after prostatectomy (postoperative radiotherapy) may cause changes in MRI and PET imaging traits that might be used in the future to predict response. 2) Comparison of such MRI and PET imaging traits with the number of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) present in the blood prior to treatment and the changes in these counts after treatment. 3) How MRI and PET imaging characteristics and changes are related to the expression of genes in the cancer tissue obtained before treatment from prostate biopsy or a prior prostatectomy before treatment. 4) How the response of prostate cancer treatment relates to the imaging and CTC changes.

The goal is to gain insight in the development and course of the toxicity after a curative treatment of prostate cancer

The prostate gland is a clinically important male accessory sex gland and vital for its production of semen. Prostate cancer (PCa) is now ranked 3th in annual incidence of male cancer and ranked 5th for cancer-related death in men in Hong Kong which accounts for about 10.9 deaths per 100,000 persons. Its incidence is rising rapidly, almost tripled in the past 10 years. Despite the improvement in awareness of the disease and also increasing use of serum prostate specific antigen, many patients still presented at a late stage that beyond cure by local therapy. Together with those patients suffered recurrent disease after local therapy, many PCa patients required the use of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for the control of disease. However, unlike other malignancy, PCa is characterized by its slow progression nature and even for metastatic disease the 5-year survival is upto 20%. Therefore, while ADT can provide effective control of disease, there are increasing evidences suggesting that it can also result in many adverse effects in the patients, and these effects are particular important due to the long survival of these patients. From the western literature, the adverse effects can be quite diverse. Classical side effects after ADT include mood changes, hot flushes, change in cognitive function, loss of libido, erectile dysfunction, osteoporosis and pathological fracture, insulin resistance and increase in risk of cardiovascular related mortality. Unfortunately information regarding the side effects of ADT in Asian population is scanty and inconclusive. Therefore, there is a need to have more information on the adverse effect profiles related to ADT in Asian population. This is a multicentre, prospective, observational, non-interventional study to assess the clinical effectiveness, cardiometabolic and skeletal effects of the various type of ADT - bilateral orchidectomy, GnRH agonist, and GnRH antagonist - in men with advanced prostate cancer over a minimum of 1-year observation period.

In Taiwan, about 70% of new incident prostate cancer patients have localized disease. Most patients were detected by PSA screening. Among them, many had low-risk PC, which is very likely latent in nature, progresses slowly, and rarely leads to death. Most patients died of other causes, such as other cancers, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes mellitus. Many guidelines recommend that active surveillance (AS) or watchful waiting (WW) is a good option for low risk patients to avoid overtreatment-related complications. However, 30% of patients on AS will finally need definitive treatments due to disease progression within 10 years. We hypothesize that there are differential gene expressions between progressive and non-progressive tumors. If we can identify key genes or pathways that are responsible for progression of low risk PC to higher risk diseases, PC progression could be reduced substantially by regulating these genes or pathways and maintain long-term cancer latency to control non-metastatic PC. In light of the high prevalence rate of latent PC in adult men, the strategy is in fact the best strategy for preventing clinical PC.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of AAA617 alone (Lutetium [177Lu] vipivotide tetraxetan) and in combination with an Androgen Receptor Pathway Inhibitors (ARPI) in participants with PSMA-positive, castration-resistant prostate cancer and no evidence of metastasis in conventional imaging (CI) (i.e., CT/MRI and bone scans). Approximately 120 participants will be randomized.

This study will determine the safe initial injected activity of the radioligand therapy 177Lu-HTK03170 for the measurement of dosimetry and initiation of treatment in subjects with PSMA-positive, metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer, (mCRPC). Subjects will receive treatment which will be escalated between cycles and personalized based on dosimetry calculations and imaging. In addition, antitumour activity will be measured by radiographic response, and further assessments of the treatment will be measured by CT imaging, ctDNA/ctRNA, PSA, PSMA PET/CT, and quality of life questionnaires. Subjects will be followed for 2 years or until they have progression and are switched to another systemic treatment.
