Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Neoplasms"

The purpose of this Cohort Treatment Plan is to allow access to 177Lu-PSMA-617 for eligible patients diagnosed with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The patient's treating physician should follow the suggested treatment guidelines and comply with all local health authority regulations.

The purpose of this protocol is to provide 68Ga Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen-11 (68Ga PSMA-11) for clinical use in the diagnosis, staging and restaging of prostate cancer using Positron Emission Tomography with Computed Tomography (PET/CT) prior to its full local Federal Drug Administration (FDA) approval. Extensive research has shown that 68Ga PSMA-11 PET/CT offers higher detection rate of metastatic disease in prostate cancer than the current standard of care usually used in staging and restaging prostate cancer.

This study provides expanded access to radiotracer Gallium 68 (68Ga)-prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-HBED-CC (68Ga-PSMA-11) with Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging for participants with intermediate and high risk prostate cancer before prostatectomy or for suspected biochemical recurrence of their prostate cancer. Compared to conventional imaging, 68Ga PSMA-HBED-CC might improve the ability to localize the sites of recurrent or metastatic disease, which helps with surgical and other treatment planning.

The purpose of this study is to use a new imaging drug called 11C-choline that is used with a PET/CT scan to see prostate cancer when it cannot be seen well on other scans, such as bone scans, CT or MRI.

Prostate multiparametric MRI (mpMRI) can detect ISUP ≥2 prostate cancer with high sensitivity. Adding biopsies targeting suspicious lesions seen on mpMRI to the classical 'systematic biopsies' (that sample the gland in a blinded way) improves the detection of ISUP ≥2 cancers. As a result, it is now recommended to perform a prostate mpMRI before biopsy and to combine targeted and systematic biopsy. However, mpMRI suffers from a lack of specificity. In a recent meta-analysis, the pooled sensitivity and specificity of prostate mpMRI for detecting ISUP ≥2 cancers were 0.91 (95% confidence interval, 0.83-0.95) and 0.37 (95% confidence interval, 0.29-0.46) respectively. Thus, accurate triage of patients suitable for biopsy might not be possible using mpMRI findings alone. The Rotterdam Prostate Cancer Risk Calculator (RPCRC) combines mpMRI results (Prostate Imaging-Reporting And Database System score) and basic clinical and biochemical data to predict the results of prostate biopsy. If validated, this tool could help selecting patients for prostate biopsy. In this study, the investigators propose to retrospectively use the data of the prospective multicentric MRI-FIRST trial (NCT0285379) to perform an external validation of the RPCRC. In addition, the PCaRisk study has two secondary objectives: To confirm that Prostate Specific Antigen density (i.e. PSA level divided by prostate volume) can stratify the risk of ISUP ≥2 cancer in patients with negative (PI-RADS 1-2) or inconclusive (PI-RADS 3) mpMRI, as suggested by recent literature To perform a preliminary evaluation of a lobe-specific risk calculator developed by our group and combining mpMRI results and clinical and biochemical data to predict the risk of ISUP ≥2 cancer at the lobe level.

This study is designed to evaluate men before radical prostatectomy for the incidence of Overactive Bladder (OAB), as well as urge urine incontinence (UUI) development after the surgery. Patients will be evaluated for signs of OAB and for signs of Bladder Outlet Obstruction (BOO). Afterwards they will be divided into four observational groups. Follow up period is designed to be 12 months.

Multicentric, observational, prospective, non-interventional study with occasional biological sample collection (serum bank, urine bank and tumor bank)

The study aims at quantifying the registration error obtained in routine patients in different parts of the prostate and for operators with different experience in order to assess the average precision of the elastic MR-ultrasound fusion obtained by Koelis™ system. Patients referred for placement of intraprostatic fiducials before radiotherapy for prostate cancer will be prospectively offered to enter the study. The fiducials will be placed under transrectal ultrasound guidance, in the prostate apex, midgland and base, according to our routine procedure. A 3D Ultrasound acquisition of the prostate will be obtained at the end of the placement. As per our routine procedure, patients will undergo unenhanced prostate MRI to control the position of the fiducials. An elastic fusion of the MR images and the 3D ultrasound acquisitions will be retrospectively performed by operators of varying experience using the Koelis system. The fiducials (visible on MR and ultrasound images) will be used to quantify the registration error.

To elucidate the role of CTC detection in the evaluation of risk level in PCa patients, and establish a mathematic model for predicting the pathological status. To explore the possible subtle change in CTC condition after radical prostatectomy.

The aim of this project is to determine whether androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) decreases left ventricular function in prostate cancer patients. If found successful, this may lead to improved cardiovascular health via treatment and/or lifestyle interventions in prostate cancer populations.
