Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Neoplasms"

To determine the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) of BKM120 when administered orally in combination with daily bicalutamide and LH-RH agonists to men with non castrate metastatic prostate cancer.

The prophylactic irradiation of pelvic lymph-nodes by means of Whole-Pelvis Radiotherapy (WPRT) in the treatment of prostate cancer (PCa) is aimed at the timely eradication of microscopic lymph-nodal metastases. Nevertheless, even though delivered by means of modern Intensity-Modulated Radiotherapy (IMRT) techniques, WPRT may result in intestinal, hematologic and urinary toxicity (IT, HT, UT, respectively) severely affecting patients' daily health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) within the so-called and inadequately investigated Pelvic Radiation Disease. The aim of this study is to develop sophisticated predictive models of IMRT-WPRT induced patient-reported HT, IT and UT in PCa. The possible correlation between several clinical factors and radiation doses received by various pelvic structures (i.e. pelvic bones subvolumes, intestinal loops, sigmoid, rectum and bladder) and risk and severity of patient-reported IT, UT and HT will be analyzed and robust multi-variable models will be developed and internally validated. A secondary end-point will be the identification of specific symptoms affecting patients' HRQoL during irradiation and in the long term, overall and in different therapeutic settings (radical, adjuvant and salvage). Lastly, possible correlation between HT and UT/IT will be investigated.

This study is a Japanese post-marketing surveillance (PMS) which is required by the regulatory authorities. General objective of PMS is to confirm the clinical usefulness, especially the safety profile of a drug under the routine clinical practice.

The purpose of this trial is to test if a marketed drug for advanced prostate cancer (FIRMAGON) can reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications as compared to another marketed drug for advanced prostate cancer (LUPRON DEPOT) in subjects with prostate cancer and cardiovascular disease.

Background: All cells go through cycles which allow them to divide. In normal cells, checkpoint kinase 1 (Chk1) and checkpoint kinase 2 (Chk2) (CHEK 2 (Chk1/2) stop cell division at various points to allow any damage to deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) to be repaired. When Chk1/2 are not present, cells stop dividing and eventually die. Chk1/2 Inhibitor (Prexasertib (LY2606368) blocks the Chk1/2 proteins. Researchers hope that by blocking Chk1/2, it will cause tumor cells to die, thereby shrinking tumors. Objective: - To see if LY2606368 helps shrink tumors in patients with certain breast, ovarian or prostate cancers. Eligibility: - Participants at least 18 years old with breast or ovarian cancer. They must have a mutation in BRCA1 BReast CAncer gene 1 and BRCA2 BReast CAncer gene 2 (BRCA1/2) genes for group 1, high grade serious ovarian cancer without BRCA1/2 mutation for group 2, or triple negative breast cancer without BRCA1/2 mutation for group 3, or prostate cancer with or without BRCA1/2 mutation for group 4. Design: Participants will be screened with a medical history and physical exam. They will have blood tests, an electrocardiogram (ECG) heart test, scans, and X-rays. They will have a piece of their tumor removed at entry (computed tomography (CT)-assisted biopsy). Study Day 1: Participants will have a physical exam and blood drawn. They may have a CT scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. Day 1 and Day 15 of each 28-day cycle: Participants will receive the study drug through an intravenous (IV). Vital signs will be checked before and after. An ECG will be done within 1 hour after. Day 15 and Day 28: Participants will have a physical exam, blood drawn, and a 12 lead ECG. Cycle 1: Participants will have weekly phone calls and blood draws. Participants may have another CT-assisted biopsy at the end of cycle 1. Cycle 2 and beyond, blood will be drawn every other week for routine blood tests. Participants will have an after-study visit with a physical exam and blood tests. Participants may have another biopsy when they progressed on treatment. They will have scans of the chest, pelvis, and abdomen and a 12 lead ECG.

This is an open-label, Phase 2 clinical study of the oral Selective Inhibitor of Nuclear Export (SINE) selinexor (KPT-330) in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).

This study is designed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of combining abiraterone (with prednisone) with cabozantinib in chemotherapy-naïve subjects with bone-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).

The primary objective of the study was to compare the efficacy of brachytherapy versus brachytherapy + triptorelin 22.5 mg (single injection) in subjects with recurrence of prostate cancer previously treated with radiotherapy. Efficacy was to be assessed by biochemical failure-free survival (BFFS) curves from treatment initiation up to 5 years. Secondary objectives included comparing the following: the differences in time to progression of subjects receiving brachytherapy + triptorelin 22.5 mg versus subjects receiving brachytherapy only, the BFFS percentages between both treatment groups at 5 years from treatment initiation, overall survival between both treatment groups, total testosterone changes (from baseline visit up to 12 months) and Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) levels (from baseline visit up to 60 months of treatment) between both treatment groups, quality of life (QoL) modifications (Spanish version of the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) questionnaire) between the baseline score and the rest of measurements, and to compare safety between both treatment groups.

The aim of the study is to compare in an exploratory fashion the efficacy on progression-free survival of lanreotide in addition to non steroidal anti androgens and LHRH-a in non metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer patients.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in American men. Surgical removal of the entire prostate (prostatectomy) is one option among the various ways to treat prostate cancer. The use of robot assistance for prostatectomy has become common place, but its effectiveness has not been compared to standard open prostatectomy in trials carried out at more than one medical institution in which participants are identified and followed forward in time. Robot assisted and standard open prostatectomy health related quality of life (HRQOL) outcomes have not been compared in a prospective, multi-centered study. Prostatectomy can have side effects that can change with time. This research study seeks to determine how common and how long-lasting such side effects are; to find out what features of individual men's cancers and what features of the treatments affect those side effects. This study also seeks to identify factors that affect the quality of prostate cancer care by looking at how satisfied men are with their prostate cancer care. Through these findings, this study aims to allow treatment side effects to be anticipated more accurately for individual patients, and to provide a means for determining the quality of prostate care.
