Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Neoplasms"

This is a Phase II open-label study evaluating the preliminary efficacy and safety of bafetinib administered as 240 mg orally twice daily in subjects with Hormone Refractory Prostate Cancer.

The purpose of this study is to assess pharmacodynamics and safety of JNJ-212082 in order to select the recommended dose of JNJ-212082 for patients with castration resistant prostate cancer.

The purpose of this study is to see how safe Androderm® (the study drug) is at three different doses in subjects with early hormone refractory prostate cancer. In addition, information about hormonal levels and the effects of testosterone on quality of life including sexual functioning and muscle strength will be collected.

A single arm phase 2 study to study the outcome of dose-escalation with simultaneous integrated boost to intraprostatic lesion and positive lymph nodes. Prostate cancer patients with high risk of lymph node metastasis or oligo positive nodes in true pelvic area can be included. The boost volumes will be outlined by usin PET-CT and MRI data. Our hypothesis is that we will have fewer relapses in this very high risk patient group compared to matched historical controls with acceptable side effects.

The three study drugs (Thalidomide, Taxol, and Estramustine) used in this study are all chemotherapy drugs used in shrinking the cancer.

The purpose of this phase II, randomized, double-blind placebo controlled, multi-center study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of 10 mg atrasentan in hormone naive subjects as measured by rate of rise in the PSA (primary objective).

Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining zoledronate with BMS-275291 in treating patients who have prostate cancer that has not responded to previous hormone therapy. Zoledronate may prevent bone loss and stop the growth of tumor cells in bone. BMS-275291 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for cancer cell growth. Combining zoledronate with BMS-275291 may kill more tumor cells.

RATIONALE: Prostatectomy may be an effective treatment for prostate cancer that has not responded to radiation therapy. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well prostatectomy works in treating patients with recurrent or persistent prostate cancer that has not responded to radiation therapy.

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Computer systems that allow doctors to create a 3-dimensional picture of the tumor in order to plan treatment may result in more effective radiation therapy. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well radiation therapy that has been planned with a computer works in treating patients with prostate cancer.

Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of flavopiridol in treating patients with recurrent prostate cancer after hormone therapy. Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die.
