Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Neoplasms"

This randomized pilot phase II trial studies the side effects and how well defined green tea catechin extract works in treating patients with localized prostate cancer undergoing surgery. Defined green tea catechin extract contains ingredients that may prevent or slow the growth of certain cancers.

will scientifically evaluate whether Low Dose Naltrexone (LDN) has activity in refractory solid tumors within the context of a phase II clinical study

The purposes of this study are to: Determine the safest and highest dose of the study drug RAD001 (Everolimus) that can be taken in combination with hormonal and radiation therapy in men with high risk prostate cancer. Evaluate changes in patient reported quality of life Evaluate biomarkers from prostate tumor samples. Biomarkers are various traits which can be used to identify the progress of a disease or condition, which can help researchers determine the effect the study treatment has on the tumor. Biomarkers can also help determine areas for further research.

The purpose of the study is to (1) to determine the rate of PSA decline (the number declining). Tissue will be obtained for ancillary studies and (2) to determine the number of patients with a PSA decline to <1.0 ng/ml at 3 months in patients receiving Nexrutine® with standard radiation therapy. The Secondary Objective is to confirm the tolerability of this regimen. The Third Objective (Ancillary studies) is To evaluate the molecular response of Nexrutine®. Molecular response is defined as changes in the molecular pathways.

RATIONALE: Temsirolimus and vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving temsirolimus together with vorinostat may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of temsirolimus and vorinostat in treating patients with metastatic prostate cancer.

The phase 1 portion of this study is an open-label, multicenter, dose-escalation study of 1-month depot TAK-448 in adult males with prostate cancer who are either on gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) therapy or who might be eligible for GnRH therapy in the future. The phase 2 portion of this study is an open-label, multicenter, randomized study in men with prostate cancer that will confirm the testosterone- and prostate specific antigen (PSA)- lowering potential of up to 2 dose levels of 1-month depot TAK-448.

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of GTx-758 on Serum Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in men with castrate resistant prostate cancer who are maintained on androgen deprivation therapy (Serum PSA response and Serum PSA progression)

The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of PLX3397 on male subjects with CRPC. Secondary objectives include evaluating the safety and tolerability of PLX3397 and the anti-tumor effects that PLX3397 has on the the subjects.

To determine the dose of continuous daily oral lovastatin needed to achieve MYC [v-myc myelocytomatosis viral oncogene homolog (avian)] down-regulation in prostatectomy specimens in intermediate-/high-risk localized prostate cancer patients.

Bone metastases and associated pain are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Most approved therapies have shown some ability to reduce soft tissue lesions but none meaningfully impacts bone metastases (as demonstrated by lack of resolution of lesions on bone scan with these agents) or the pain associated with these metastases. This study will evaluate the effect of cabozantinib versus mitoxantrone plus prednisone on pain response and bone scan response in men with CRPC.
