Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Neoplasms"

PSMA ADC 2301 is a Phase 2, open-label, study to assess the anti-tumor activity and tolerability of Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen Antibody Drug Conjugate (PSMA ADC) in two groups of subjects with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). One group comprises subjects who must have received at least one taxane-containing chemotherapy regimen (e.g. docetaxel, cabazitaxel). The second group comprises subjects who are cytotoxic chemotherapy-naïve. Subjects who are cytotoxic chemotherapy-naïve must have received and progressed on-, be ineligible for, refused, have an intolerance to-, or not have access to Radium-223. Both groups of subjects must also have received and progressed on abiraterone acetate and/or enzalutamide. If a subject is unable to receive abiraterone acetate and/or enzalutamide, Sponsor approval is required for participation in the study. Subjects will receive up to eight doses of PSMA ADC approximately once every three weeks.

Surgical removal of the prostate (radical prostatectomy) is a common and generally effective treatment for prostate cancer. However, standard prostatectomy can affect urinary continence and sexual function. Different surgical techniques, such as nerve-sparing prostatectomy and seminal vesicle-sparing prostatectomy, may limit these treatment-related effects. In a standard prostatectomy, the seminal vesicles are removed completely. In contrast, during a seminal vesicle-sparing prostatectomy, the surgeon leaves a portion of the seminal vesicles intact. This is done because the nerves that are important to urinary continence and erectile function are located close to the seminal vesicles. The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients who undergo nerve-sparing prostatectomy with seminal vesicle-sparing experience better urinary and sexual functioning after surgery than patients who undergo standard nerve-sparing prostatectomy.

The purpose of this study is to assess the benefit of immediate hormonal treatment after Radical Prostatectomy in Chinese and Russian patients with high risk prostate cancer. To reach this target, the trial will compare a group of patients treated with triptorelin at 8 weeks after the surgery and for a duration of 9 months (3 injections) versus another group (called "active surveillance group") who will be not receiving triptorelin. Both groups will be followed every 3 months to monitor any sign of disease progression during a minimum of 36 months

The purpose of this study is to investigate safety and efficacy of abiraterone in participants with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and who have not received prior chemotherapy (treatment of disease, usually cancer, by chemical agents).

This is a phase I, open-label, multicentre study of AZD8186 administered orally in patients with advanced castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC), squamous non-small cell lung cancer (sqNSCLC), triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) and known PTEN-deficient/mutated or PIK3CB mutated/amplified advanced solid malignancies as monotherapy and in combination with abiraterone acetate or AZD2014.

Background: - Enzalutamide is a well tolerated hormone therapy that is used to treat advanced prostate cancer. It is given to help kill cancer cells and limit cancer cell growth. A new possible way of treating prostate cancer is using a therapeutic cancer vaccine (immune stimulating therapy) that may help activate the immune system against the cancer. The immune stimulating vaccine will help white blood cells recognize and kill the cancer cells throughout the body. This vaccine therapy has been tested in hundreds of patients and is very well tolerated. Researchers want to see whether this vaccine, given with enzalutamide, is more effective at treating advanced prostate cancer than enzalutamide alone. Objectives: - To compare the safety and effectiveness of enzalutamide with and without vaccine therapy for advanced prostate cancer. Key Eligibility: Men at least 18 years of age who have advanced castration sensitive prostate cancer. Patients must have testosterone within the normal range No evidence of metastatic prostate cancer on computed tomography (CT) or Bone scan No history of autoimmune diseases No previous immunotherapy within 3 years Design: Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood and urine samples will be collected. Imaging studies will be used to monitor the cancer before treatment. Participants will be separated into two groups. One group will have enzalutamide and the study vaccine. The other group will have enzalutamide alone. All participants will take enzalutamide once a day. They will take the drug for 3 months. This form of intermittent therapy is common in this population of patients. The vaccine group of participants will receive the new study vaccine. They will have a single injection on the first day of the first study cycle. There will be regular booster injections afterward. There will be one injection during the third week of treatment, and one in the fifth week. The vaccine will then be given every 4 weeks until 21 weeks have passed. Treatment will be monitored with frequent blood tests and imaging studies.

This study will evaluate the response rate of MLN8237 in patients with histologically confirmed or clinically suspected metastatic neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC). MLN8237 is an orally administered Aurora kinase A inhibitor that has demonstrated broad antitumor activity in vitro and in vivo. In preclinical models, aurora kinase inhibition resulted in dramatic and preferential anti-tumor activity in NEPC with suppression of neuroendocrine marker expression.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and security of the autologous e-ASC for the urinary incontinence after a radical prostate cancer surgery

This study is designed to evaluate the use of a disposable laparoscopic Doppler probe in robotic assisted prostatectomies. The Vascular Technology, Inc. (VTI) laparoscopic probe is simply a sterile, disposable Doppler probe that can be inserted through a laparoscopic trocar and placed on structures to determine if there is vascular flow demonstrating an audible pulse. During robotic-assisted prostatectomy, identification of vasculature is critical in order to prevent hemorrhage and effectively treat the underlying pathology. The investigators routinely utilize a combined Doppler ultrasound laparoscopic probe to identify vasculature during renal surgery, but Doppler ultrasound usage has not been adopted for prostatic surgery. From a mechanical standpoint, these combination probes differ from the VTI probe in that they are approximately 2 times the diameter of the VTI probe, and the portion of the probe utilized for imaging much longer and on the side of the device. The VTI probe is much narrower, and the portion of the probe utilized for vessel identification is at the tip of the probe. For robotic-assisted prostatectomy, patients will be randomized to VTI laparoscopic Doppler System to identify pedicles and neurovascular bundles (NVB) or to robotic-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy with no Doppler probe, which is the current standard of care.

The proposed clinical trial will study the effects of 12 months of therapy with ARN-509 alone, or in combination with an LHRH agonist (LHRHa), each compared with LHRHa alone, in men with a rapidly rising serum PSA after prior definitive local therapy for prostate cancer. The endpoints selected reflect measurable short term effects of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), including quality of life and several metabolic parameters. In addition, the relative effect of each treatment strategy on PSA suppression as well as testosterone recovery (and subsequent PSA progression) after 12 months of therapy will be evaluated.
