Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Neoplasms"

This is a study with the combination of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and docetaxel with the addition of enzalutamide in the treatment of subjects with metastatic prostate cancer. The purpose of this study is to assess if ADT + docetaxel + enzalutamide is well tolerated and demonstrates improved efficacy compared to ADT + docetaxel.

Radium-223 chloride is an alpha-emitting radiopharmaceutical with proven survival benefit in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer metastatic to bone. Beta-emitting radiopharmaceuticals have proven efficacy for palliating malignant bone pain. Nowadays, rhenium-188-HEDP is used in clinical practice for pain relief and palliative care. Several studies suggest that also rhenium-188-HEDP has the potential to improve overall survival. The purpose of this study is to investigate if treatment with rhenium-188-HEDP results in improvement of overall survival compared to treatment with radium-223-chloride.

Recent pre-clinical work has suggested that Itraconazole has an anti-cancer effect that works synergistically with hydroxychloroquine. This may delay the need for androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and its associated toxicities in men with biochemically recurrent (BCR) prostate cancer. This study aims to determine feasibility, safety and efficacy of suba-itraconazole (SI) in combination with hydroxychloroquine (HQ) in the treatment of biochemically recurrent (BCR) prostate cancer as means of delaying time to commencement of androgen deprivation therapy.

This phase II trial studies how well trametinib works in treating patients with hormone-resistant prostate cancer that is growing or getting worse and has spread to other parts of the body. Trametinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Background: The immune system is the cells and organs in the body that recognize and fight infection and cancer. The PROSTVAC vaccine might teach the immune system to find and kill certain prostate cancer cells. Nivolumab is a drug that allows the immune system to fight tumors. Itmight help PROSTVAC work better. Objective: To test the safety and effectiveness of the combination of PROSTVAC and nivolumab. To test this for people with castration resistant prostate cancer and then for other people with localized prostate cancer who are candidates for surgical removal of the prostate. Eligibility: Men ages 18 and older with prostate cancer Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Blood and urine tests Electrocardiogram Bone scan CT scan or MRI Tumor sample. This may be from a previous procedure. All participants will get a combination of the study drugs over 8 weeks. They will have 1 visit for the initial injection then 3 booster injection / nivolumab infusion visits. Blood will be tested at these visits. Over the next 4 weeks, some participants will have: An exam of the large intestine through the rectum. CT and bone scans Standard hormonal treatment Option to continue treatment every 3 weeks if their disease does not get worse. They will be have scans every 12 weeks. Other participants will have surgery to remove the prostate in week 9. Participants will have a safety visit about a month after their last treatment. This will include a physical exam, blood tests, and possibly scans. If their cancer progresses, participants will leave the study and may enroll in a long-term follow-up study. They will be contacted once a year to ask about their cancer and treatment.

This randomized phase II trial studies how well olaparib with or without cediranib works in treating patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). PARPs are proteins that help repair DNA mutations. PARP inhibitors, such as olaparib, can keep PARP from working, so tumor cells can't repair themselves, and they may stop growing. Cediranib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving olaparib and cediranib may help treat patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer.

The purpose of this Radioactive Drug Research Committee (RDRC) study is to collect initial data regarding biodistribution, reproducibility, and dosimetry for the radiotracer Ga-68 PSMA-HBED-CC, an agent which may be useful for the early detection of metastatic prostate cancer. Investigators will use a test and re-test design in all patients to determine reproducibility of lesion detection and signal intensity, and will include dynamic imaging in some patients for the purposes of dosimetry. Patients with known metastatic prostate cancer will be recruited and imaged on two occasions within the course of 15 days.

The aim of the study is to determine if triptorelin formulated for use every 6 months (given twice during the study) is effective and safe for when given by injection under the skin for the treatment of adult males with cancer in the prostate.

This clinical trial is evaluating a drug called AC176 in participants with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have progressed on at least two prior systemic therapies. The main goals of this study are to: Identify the recommended dose of AC176 that can be given safely to participants Evaluate the side effects of AC176 Evaluate pharmacokinetics of AC176 Evaluate the effectiveness of AC176

The purpose of this trial is to investigate the safety and tolerability of TAS3681, to find the maximum tolerated dose (MTD)/recommended dose of TAS3681 (Escalation Phase) and to further evaluate safety and preliminary efficacy of TAS3681 at the MTD/recommended dose (Expansion Phase).
