Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Neoplasms"

This is a single-arm hybrid implementation trial of men with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) involving a patient-administered mobile app for consultation audio recordings.

Rationale: Transperineal laser ablation (TPLA) treatment for prostate cancer (PCa) is a minimal invasive focal therapy technique studied worldwide to determine its efficacy. In pilot studies it has shown to be a safe and feasible technique and it has potential to preserve continence and potency over current standard radical therapies. However, (long-term) treatment outcomes of TPLA for PCa remain largely unknown. The aim of this international retrospective registry is to collect and combine data on patients treated TPLA for PCa in order to provide data on safety, feasibility, functional and oncological outcomes. Objective: To assess safety and feasibility of TPLA for PCa, to assess functional and oncological outcomes of TPLA for PCa and to determine baseline patient characteristics in a multicentre cohort. Study design: This is an international, retrospective observational registry in which data is recorded of patients who have been treated with TPLA for PCa. Study population: Male patients treated with TPLA for PCa. Main study parameters/endpoints: The primary endpoint of this registry is oncological outcomes of TPLA for PCa. Secondary endpoints are safety, feasibility and functional outcomes of TPLA for PCa.

Prospective, multicenter, comparative, randomized placebo-controlled Phase III trial - patients with hormone-naïve prostate cancer and pelvic lymph nodes metastases

This is a phase Ib/II clinical study of TQB3616 capsules in combination with abiraterone acetate plus prednisone in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, to determine the dose for further clinical studies and to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this combined therapy.

This phase II trial evaluates apalutamide in combination with image-guided stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for the treatment of patients with prostate cancer. Prostate cancer usually needs the hormone testosterone to grow. Apalutamide is a hormone therapy that blocks the effect of testosterone on prostate tumor cells. This may help stop the growth of tumor cells that need testosterone to grow. Image-guided SBRT is a standard treatment for some types of prostate cancer. This treatment combines imaging of cancer within the body, with the delivery of therapeutic radiation doses produced on a linear accelerator machine. SBRT uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue. Combining apalutamide with image-guided SBRT may increase a prostate cancer patient's chances of achieving an extremely low prostate specific antigen response, which is an early predictor of disease cure.

To learn about the safety and effects of a drug called REGN5678 when it is given to patients with high-risk prostate cancer.

This phase II MATCH trial studies how well treatment that is directed by genetic testing works in patients with solid tumors or lymphomas that have progressed following at least one line of standard treatment or for which no agreed upon treatment approach exists. Genetic tests look at the unique genetic material (genes) of patients' tumor cells. Patients with genetic abnormalities (such as mutations, amplifications, or translocations) may benefit more from treatment which targets their tumor's particular genetic abnormality. Identifying these genetic abnormalities first may help doctors plan better treatment for patients with solid tumors, lymphomas, or multiple myeloma.

This is an investigator initiated study to test the efficacy of an upright MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) for the screening of prostate cancer. The purpose of this study is to compare Upright MRI as a technique to PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) and current MRI imaging. It will take place at Mount Sinai Hospital, and last for a total of about 5 years. Eligible patients will be determined by the urologist. The target population is men who are at risk for prostate cancer, as determined by the urologist. Diagnostic criteria will include elevated PSA and an abnormal digital rectal exam (DRE). After patients are screened and determined eligible, they will be asked to have a seated MRI using the Indomitable Magnetic Resonance Imaging Scanner, Ex vivo magnetic resonance imaging using 0.6 T strength, as well as a standard of care closed 3T MRI. After each scan, the patient will be given a series of questionnaires to assess their comfort level during the scan. Patients will be followed every 6 months after completion of (or early withdrawal from) study enrollment until 5 years.

The purpose of this study is to determine if pelvic floor muscle training with a physical therapist before and after surgery will improve health-related quality of life following robot-assisted radical prostatectomy.

A prospective, multicenter, parallel-group, open-label, randomized, phase II Clinical Study of Radiation Therapy, Hormone Therapy and Docetaxel Versus Radiation Therapy and Hormone Therapy in Patients with High-Risk Localized Prostate Cancer (Stage III and IV) whose primary objective is determine the percentage of patients free of biochemical recurrence within 5 years of receiving a combination of radiation therapy with docetaxel associated with hormone therapy or the standard of care of radiation therapy and hormone therapy in patients with stage III and IV localized prostate cancer with a poor prognosis.
