Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Neoplasms"

This is a prospective, serum proteomics study of men who are to undergo prostate biopsy. The purpose is to determine if proteomic profiles can be used to distinguish between men with prostate cancer on biopsy from men with no cancer on biopsy.

BARCODE 1 is a screening study designed to investigate the role of genetic profiling for targeting population prostate cancer screening. A pilot of 300 men were recruited aiming to inform the feasibility and accessibility of the study approach. The full study is an extension of the pilot study aiming to recruit a total of 5000 men.

The purpose of this study is to determine if Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET) scans used in this study accurate and better at imaging participants' prostate cancer than the usual methods.

The development of a personalized therapeutic education program dedicated to patients with metastatic prostate cancer and receiving next-generation hormone therapy would improve their knowledge of the disease, medication adherence and quality of life.

The purpose of this research study is to investigate the utility of a validated urine test which predicts the likelihood of high grade prostate cancer on an initial prostate biopsy.

The aim of the study is to determine if PET-CT imaging (using contrast recommended in clinical guidelines) is superior to combined bone scan and MRI/CT of the abdomen & pelvis in detecting the increased incidence of metastasis (nodal/distant outside the pelvis) in men with prostatic carcinoma with germline BRCA mutations.

This trial studies the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with Dixon based imaging sequences in detecting prostate cancer. MRI uses radio waves and a powerful magnet linked to a computer to create detailed pictures of areas inside the body. Researchers hope to learn if using a modified MRI scan technique with Dixon based imaging sequencing will help to produce better images of prostate cancer than the standard of care MRI scan technique.

Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in male cancer globally and ranked third in Hong Kong. While androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is the backbone treatment for advanced prostate cancer, it could lead to obesity, metabolic syndrome and increased cardiovascular mortality. Previous studies showed that ADT patients have different gut microbiome compared to non-ADT patients and the gut microbiome might be related to the metabolic changes. However, the underlying mechanism of these metabolic complications is still not fully understood. This study aims to investigate the relationship and related mechanism between the changes in gut microbiomes and ADT-related metabolic change in prostate cancer patients.

This research study wants to develop advanced imaging methods to more accurately characterize prostate cancer or solid tumor aggressiveness. This observational study involves [18F]DCFPyL positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI)

This study aims to evaluate the use of a prostate cancer specific predisposition genetic panel test in men with / at high risk of prostate cancer. The genetic test will analyse men's DNA samples for the presence of mutations in rare genes as well as common genetic variation to provide men with information about their risk of prostate cancer. This study will evaluate the clinical impact of the test on risk assessment and clinical management in terms of screening and treatment.
