Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Neoplasms"

The purpose of this study is to test the effectiveness (how well the drug works), safety, and tolerability of the investigational drug combination of ARRx (also known as AZD5312) plus enzalutamide in patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer.

This study investigates neoadjuvant TAK-700 orteronel for 6 months prior to prostatectomy. The three year biochemical free survival is the primary endpoint. There are a number of 2nd endpoints such as pathological complete response rate, the need for adjuvant radiation therapy, use of post operative radiotherapy an the rate of positive margins at surgery. Translational endpoints include measuring tumoural and plasma testosterone as well as other androgens. Patients with untreated high risk and intermediate risk operable prostate cancer will be treated with TAK-700 (plus LHRH agonist) for 24 weeks prior to planned prostatectomy.

The aim of this study is to estimate the PSA response rate with the use of ketoconazole (400mg QD + hydrocortisone 20mg AM, 10 mg PM) among men with CRPC in whom disease has progressed despite abiraterone

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and optimal dosing of intravenous copper chloride and disulfiram in men with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Eligible men will have neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC), adenocarcinoma CRPC with non-liver/peritoneal metastases (lymph nodes, bone, or lung) or adenocarcinoma CRPC with liver and/or peritoneal metastases. Subjects will receive three doses of intravenous copper chloride and take disulfiram and oral copper gluconate until disease progression (up to two years). Subjects will also undergo a PET scan with radioactive copper 64 to measure the levels of copper in their tumor. The central hypotheses of this project are that (a) copper chloride and disulfiram are safe to give together and that (b) the combination of disulfiram with copper will have efficacy for both mCRPC and NEPC.

This is A Multi-centre, Single-arm, Prospective, Interventional Study to Assess Efficacy and Safety of Neoadjuvant Hormone Therapy using Zoladex (Goserelin) and Casodex (Bicalutamide) in Patients with Advanced Prostate Cancer Undergoing Radical Prostatectomy, to assess the efficacy by resectability rate of neoadjuvant hormone therapy (NHT) in subjects with advanced prostate cancer.

This pilot clinical trial studies the side effects of recombinant EphB4-HSA fusion protein before surgery in treating patients with transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder, prostate cancer, or kidney cancer. Recombinant EphB4-HSA fusion protein may block an enzyme needed for tumor cells to multiply and may also prevent the growth of new blood vessels that bring nutrients to the tumor. Giving recombinant EphB4-HSA fusion protein before surgery may make the tumor smaller and reduce the amount of normal tissue that needs to be removed.

This study will seek to determine if the downstream effects of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibition suggested by preclinical systems occur in human prostate cancer. To answer this question, men who have chosen prostatectomy will be randomly assigned to preoperative treatment with celecoxib or placebo for four weeks. Carefully collected tumor, premalignant, and benign prostate tissue will then be examined for apoptosis, androgen receptor and prostaglandin E2 levels. Tumor COX-2 expression will be correlated with observed treatment effects. The data generated by this study will serve as a foundation for the development of COX-2 targeted therapies for prostate cancer, will provide preliminary evidence for larger scale clinical trials aimed at treatment and prevention of prostate cancer, and will validate current preclinical models used to study COX-2 in prostate cancer.

This phase II trial studies how well cabazitaxel and prednisone work in treating patients with hormone-resistant prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cabazitaxel and prednisone, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and preliminary efficacy of the investigational drug PLX2853 in subjects with Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC)

This is a Phase 1b/Phase 2a, open-label, multicenter study to determine the safety, tolerability, recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) properties of idronoxil when rectally administered as a suppository (NOX66) to patients with any solid tumor (Part 1) and patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), breast cancer (BC) and non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) (Part 2) who are eligible for low-dose external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) for at least one symptomatic or minimally symptomatic lesion (for the prevention of symptoms).
