Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Neoplasms"

Researchers in this study want to compare how well drug radium-223 dichloride (Xofigo) and new (novel) anti-hormonal (NAH) therapy work in participants with prostate gland cancer which has spread to the bone and progressed on or after one line of NAH therapy. Meanwhile researchers want to compare the safety of radium-223 dichloride and NAH therapy. Radium-223 dichloride is known as a radioactive drug that is taken up by bones after it is injected into the body. It works by giving off a type of radioactivity that travels a very short distance and kills the tumor cells that have spread to the bone without major effects to the healthy cells. It has been approved in many countries for the treatment of patients with prostate cancer which has spread to the bone. The NAH drugs used in this study will be either abiraterone acetate (Zytiga) (plus prednisone/prednisolone) or enzalutamide (Xtandi). Both of them are standard approved medications which are used in the treatment of advanced prostate cancer. Participants in this study will receive either Radium-223 dichloride or a NAH therapy. Radium-223 dichloride will be given as an infusion into one of the veins on Day 1 of each 4-week cycle for a total of up to 6 cycles. Oral NAH therapy will be given per the standard approved dose once daily until the disease has progressed. Participants will visit the hospital or clinic every 2 weeks for the first 6 cycles, and only on the first day of each cycle from cycle 7 and onwards. Observation for each participant will last for about 2 years in total. Blood and urine samples will be collected from the participants and participants will be asked to complete questionnaires about the well-being and the pain.

The Proseven trial is a prospective interventional study that will evaluate the toxicity and efficacy of MR-guided stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) in the profound hypofractionated treatment of prostate cancer. Patients will be treated in 5 daily fractions within a short overall treatment time (OTT) of 7 days. A simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) will be delivered to the intraprostatic dominant lesion (if present) in this study. Besides a potential biological impact of this innovative prostate SBRT treatment, the reduced OTT offers also benefits in terms of patient convenience. The primary endpoint is clinician reported grade 2 or more acute gastrointestinal (GI) and genitourinary (GU) toxicity, assessed using CTCAE v 5.0 and RTOG, measured up to 3 months after the first treatment fraction.

This phase II trial investigates the effect of high dose-rate brachytherapy and stereotactic body radiotherapy in treating patients with prostate adenocarcinoma. Brachytherapy, also known as internal radiation therapy, uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells. Stereotactic body radiation therapy uses special equipment to position a patient and deliver radiation to tumors with high precision. This method may kill tumor cells with fewer doses over a shorter period and cause less damage to normal tissue.

This is a phase I/II study investigating the combination of 225Ac-J591 (a drug that can deliver radiation to prostate cancer cells) with pembrolizumab (immunotherapy, a drug that increases the immune system's ability to destroy cancer cells). This study will assess whether 225Ac-J591 + pembrolizumab + androgen receptor pathway inhibitor (ARPI) is more effective against prostate cancer than pembrolizumab + ARPI alone.

This is a single-centre prospective, non-randomized trial to investigate the efficacy of cryotherapy in patients with localized prostate cancer.The aim of study is to investigate the safety profile of cryotherapy in the treatment of prostate cancer and to evaluate the oncological control of prostate cancer by means of cryotherapy focal treatment.

The study is a randomized study that compares 5 radiation therapy treatments to 2 radiation therapy treatments in men with low or intermediate-risk prostate cancer.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of fluzoparib combined with abiraterone in neoadjuvant treatment of patients with high-risk locoregional prostate cancer. Dr. Yao Zhu from Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center is the co-leading PI of this study.

This is a phase II trial to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of a radiolabelled PSMA-targeting antibody, 177Lu-TLX591, given in combination with external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) in patients with biochemically recurrent, oligometastatic, PSMA-expressing prostate cancer. TLX591 is being developed as a PSMA-targeting antibody to be radiolabelled with a therapeutic radiosotope for the treatment of PSMA-expressing tumours.

This study will assess the efficacy and safety of capivasertib plus abiraterone (+prednisone/prednisolone) plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) versus placebo plus abiraterone (+prednisone/prednisolone) plus ADT in participants with mHSPC whose tumours are characterised by PTEN deficiency. The intention of the study is to demonstrate that in participants with mHSPC, the combination of capivasertib plus abiraterone (+prednisone/prednisolone) plus ADT is superior to placebo plus abiraterone (+prednisone/prednisolone) plus ADT in participants with mHSPC characterised by PTEN deficiency with respect to radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) per 1) Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 for soft tissue and/or Prostate Cancer Working Group (PCWG3) for bone as assessed by the investigator 2) death due to any cause.

This is a prospective imaging study evaluating the utility of baseline metabolic MR imaging as a diagnostic and response monitoring tool in patients with advanced prostate cancer. Preliminary pre-clinical and clinical data demonstrates the ability of HP C-13 pyruvate/metabolic MR imaging to detect high-grade prostate cancer, including cancer with neuroendocrine differentiation, as well as provide early evidence of metabolic response and resistance following application of systemic therapies for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer patients. In the proposed study, the investigators aim is to extend the initial clinical results and further develop HP C-13 MRI as an imaging modality in advanced prostate cancer.
