Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Neoplasms"

Recently, the uses of peripheral axial blocks that deliver local anesthetic into the transversus abdominis fascial plane have become popular for operations that involve incision(s) of the abdominal wall. Thus, the Transversus Abdominis plane (TAP) block has been shown to reduce perioperative opioid use in elective abdominal surgery, including open appendicectomy, laparotomy, and laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Currently, the Quadratus Lumborum block (QL block) is performed as one of the perioperative pain management procedures for all generations (pediatrics, pregnant, and adult) undergoing abdominal surgery. The local anesthetic injected via the approach of the posterior QL block ( QL 2 block ) can more easily extend beyond the TAP to the thoracic paravertebral space or the thoracolumbar plane, the posterior QL block entails a broader sensory-level analgesic and may generate analgesia from T7 to L1. Use of posterior QL block in laparoscopic prostatectomy has not been investigated before and it is the variant that will be discussed in our study.

This multicenter Phase I/II trial consists of two stages: a phase I stage in patients with castration resistant prostate cancer in which the recommended phase II dose will be determined for ipatasertib administered in combination with darolutamide; and a phase II neoadjuvant stage in which patients with high risk prostate cancer and loss of PI3K pathway activation in the tumor tissue planning on undergoing prostatectomy receive ADT, darolutamide, and ipatasertib for 24 weeks prior to planned surgery.

Stage 2B: NanoTherm ablation of focal prostate cancer in small lesions in Gleason 3+4 disease. The outcome of this ablation is validated by a transperineal biopsy at 4 months after ablation.

Phase I dose escalation study with combination of 177Lu-J591 and 177Lu-PSMA-617 using a dose-fractionated regimen will be performed in patients with documented progressive metastatic CRPC. The cumulative 177Lu-J591 dose for each subject will be 2.7 GBq/m2 (73 mCi/m2) of 177Lu with 20 mg J591 and the cumulative 177Lu-PSMA-617 dose for each subject will vary (depending on the Cohort) from 3.7 GBq (100 mCi) to 18.5 GBq (500 mCi). The 177Lu-PSMA-617 dose will be escalated in up to 6 different dose levels (3+3 dose-escalation study / de-escalation design). For the phase II portion, a minimum number of 14 patients will be enrolled at MTD (including those enrolled at MTD in Phase I) and a maximum of 24.

This study is intended to show that ExAblate™ MRgFUS is a safe procedure that can significantly postpone or eliminate the need of patients with organ confined intermediate risk prostate cancer to undergo a definitive treatment (i.e., Radical Prostatectomy or Radiation therapy) for their disease.

Men with progressive metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer post first-line treatment with either androgen deprivation therapy alone or androgen deprivation therapy plus docetaxel who have an identified related female donor (mother sister, daughter, second degree relative such as granddaughter or niece) will undergo bone marrow transplantation followed by post-transplant Cytoxan (PT/Cy) and testosterone.

Stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR), or stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), is a specialized form of radiotherapy used to treat prostate cancer with five treatments over two weeks, compared with a conventional eight-week or longer treatment course. The purpose of this trial is to investigate the effect that proton-based SABR has on quality-of-life in patients with localized prostate cancer. The evaluation and treatment will otherwise follow standard of care, and is not considered investigational.

This research study looks at Testosterone levels in patients receiving Trelstar versus those receiving Lupron or Zoladex. These drugs have been approved for treatment of Prostate Cancer by the FDA.

This is a phase I study to determine the safety and feasibility of the combination of enzalutamide and niraparib in subjects with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).

This pilot trial studies how well dexamethasone and re-treatment with enzalutamide work in treating patients with prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic), does not respond to hormone therapy (hormone-resistant), and was previously treated with enzalutamide and docetaxel. Dexamethasone treatment may be able to reverse one resistance mechanism to enzalutamide therapy (overabundance of receptors for dexamethasone and other glucocorticoids inside cancer cells) and allow for renewed therapeutic sensitivity to enzalutamide. Androgens (a type of male hormone) can bind to androgen receptors found inside prostate cancer cells, which may cause the cancer cells to grow. Enzalutamide may stop the growth of prostate cancer cells by blocking the activity of the cancer cell androgen receptors. Giving dexamethasone prior to re-treatment with enzalutamide may be a treatment for prostate cancer.
