Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Neoplasms"

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of the combination of pembrolizumab (MK-3475) and docetaxel in the treatment of Chinese men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have not received chemotherapy for mCRPC but have progressed on or are intolerant to Next Generation Hormonal Agent (NHA). There are two primary study hypotheses. Hypothesis 1: The combination of pembrolizumab plus docetaxel plus prednisone is superior to placebo plus docetaxel plus prednisone with respect to Overall Survival (OS). Hypothesis 2: The combination of pembrolizumab plus docetaxel plus prednisone is superior to placebo plus docetaxel plus prednisone with respect to Radiographic Progression-free Survival (rPFS) per Prostate Cancer Working Group (PCWG)-modified Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors Version 1.1 (RECIST 1.1) as assessed by blinded independent central review.

A study evaluating the safety, preliminary efficacy and pharmacokinetics of ipatasertib in combination with atezolizumab and docetaxel in participants with mCRPC previously treated with second-generation AR (Androgen Receptor)-targeted therapy. The study consists of two parts: [1] Part A: Safety run-in cohort of approximately 12 participants; [2] Part B: Expansion cohort of approximately 38 participants. All participants in this study will continue to be treated until progression of disease, loss of clinical benefit, unacceptable toxicity or withdrawal of consent.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of four of the nowadays most established primary treatments for patients with clinically localized prostate cancer (active surveillance, robot-assisted radical prostatectomy, intensity-modulated radiotherapy, and real-time brachytherapy) at short-, mid- and long-term follow-up. The primary aim is assessing the impact of treatments' side effects on patient's quality of life. As secondary objectives, biochemical disease-free survival, overall survival, and prostate cancer-specific survival will also be assessed.

This clinical trial studies how well a long-term follow-up works in patients with prostate cancer after surgery. Long-term follow-up data may serve as a resource to help ask clinical questions, describe health-related quality of life and long-term complications related, and facilitate future studies focusing on interventions to improve health status and health-related quality of life in prostate cancer survivors.

The main objective of the trial is to explore the efficacy of salvage radiotherapy (SRT) plus metformin compared to SRT in the endpoint of time to progression after prostatectomy failure.

Patients with low-risk or favorable intermediate-risk prostate cancer as defined by 1.2016 NCCN criteria will be eligible to participate on this study.

This study aims to evaluate the combination of GSK525762 with other agents that have been shown to be effective in the treatment of CRPC or metastatic (m)CRPC. This study is designed to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) based on safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetic, and efficacy profiles of GSK525762 in combination with either abiraterone (Arm A) or enzalutamide (Arm B).

The primary purpose of this study is to determine whether a tumor test recently developed by GenomeDx Biosciences known as Decipher® can predict aggressive prostate cancer with the same accuracy in African-American men (AAM) as in non-African-American men (NAAM). The Decipher® test was developed from samples derived mainly from men of European origins and little is known about its performance in AAM. It is important to study whether this test can be used in AAM who are known to experience the highest rates of prostate cancer as well as death from prostate cancer. The use of the Decipher® test result to predict how well a patient will do before treatment may make it possible for doctors to distinguish aggressive disease from low risk prostate cancer and modify treatment accordingly. Thus, patients that do not need additional therapies may be spared from unnecessary side effects and those that are at risk may be provided with more aggressive therapy to improve survival. This study is being done to learn whether the Decipher test can really affect these outcomes.

The purpose of the study was to understand if there is benefit in treatment with a medicine called enzalutamide in the re-treatment setting. Patients must have been previously treated with enzalutamide in the pre-chemotherapy setting for a minimum of 8 months and have disease progressed, followed by docetaxel and/or cabazitaxel for at least 4 cycles.

A new solution for guiding the surgeon in robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (RALP) is image-guided navigation using transrectal ultrasound (TRUS). A TRUS-guided intraoperative navigation system using a robotic ultrasound probe manipulator (TRUS Robot) has been developed. The proposed research is a pilot clinical trial of the TRUS Robot and three-dimensional (3-D) navigation software to test its image-guidance ability of helping the surgeon during RALP. This is a dual robot approach, a Tandem-RALP (T-RALP). The TRUS Robot allows a steady holding as well as remote manipulation of the TRUS probe. In addition, the TRUS Robot can track the accurate position of TRUS probe which allows 3-D reconstruction of the images. While the intraoperative TRUS findings will not be used in surgical decision making in this trial, the use of TRUS imaging during radical prostatectomy can potentially improve the visualization of the NVB and subsequently improve postoperative recovery of potency in men. In addition, the 3-D reconstruction images of the prostate gland can potentially provide clear and accurate guidance of surgical landmarks to the surgeon..
