Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Neoplasms"

4arms preference based Study to compare four therapy options in prostate cancer with low or early intermediate risk

The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that treatment with a 6-monthly injection of hormone therapy is as good and as well tolerated as the standard 3-monthly hormone therapy injections available for treating prostate cancer. The study will also aim to answer whether both doctors and patients would prefer treatment with a 6-monthly injection rather than injections every 3 months.

There will be two parts to this clinical research study. The purpose of each part is: Phase 1: This part of the study will determine what dose of BEZ235 is safe to give with a standard dose of abiraterone acetate and prednisone by administering different doses of BEZ235. This will help to find out what effects, good and/or bad, this combination has on CRPC. Phase 2: This part of the study will measure the treatment effect of the combination of BEZ235 and abiraterone acetate/prednisone on CRPC.

The purpose of this study is to determine the tolerability profile of OPB-111001 and to determine the most suitable dose of OPB-111001 in patients with advanced cancer

The primary objective was to confirm the effect of tasquinimod in delaying disease progression or death as compared with placebo in chemo-naïve patients with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Secondary objectives included further evaluation of the safety profile of tasquinimod, comparison of clinical benefits (such as overall survival and symptoms) of tasquinimod with placebo, to evaluate the quality of life impact and to determine the pharmacokinetics of tasquinimod.

This phase II trial studies how well orteronel works in treating patients with metastatic hormone-resistant prostate cancer. Orteronel may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Previous research into metabolic and hypoxic markers has found evidence of preclinical impact of exercise on prostate tumor blood flow and oxygenation in rodents . As radiotherapy is a frequently used and effective therapy for and that sufficient oxygenation is decisive to the effect of radiotherapy, an underlying hypothesis that aerobic exercise might improve treatment efficacy of radiotherapy in prostate cancer is put forward. This study has a potential challenging intervention, but a potential very high gain as it includes active patient participation to significantly improve outcome of radical radiotherapy.

The overall objective of this study is to acquire ultrasound images, spectral data and prostate tissue biopsy cores using the ClariCore System via a transperineal approach.

This clinical trial is being conducted to recommend a safe and tolerable phase 2 dose of docetaxel or cabazitaxel when combined with clarithromycin in men who have developed castrate-resistant prostate cancer. In the castrate-resistant setting, resistance to taxane therapy inevitably develops. Men who develop resistance to taxanes have a very poor prognosis, and few treatment options. It is believed that CYP enzymes contribute to docetaxel and cabazitaxel resistance in metastatic prostate cancer, and this resistance can be mitigated through pharmacologic CYP inhibition. In this study a potent CYP3A inhibitor, clarithromycin, will be co-administered concurrently with either docetaxel or cabazitaxel, whose systemic metabolism is dependent of CYP3A4, with the intent to overcome resistance to taxanes.

This randomized pilot clinical trial studies how well propranolol hydrochloride works in treating patients with prostate cancer who are undergoing surgery. When stressed, the body makes a molecule that may prevent tumor cells from dying, and propranolol hydrochloride may affect the signals in cells that cause tumor cells survival and death.
