Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Neoplasms"

This phase II trial tests whether vidutolimod with nivolumab works to destroy tumor cells in patients with castration resistant prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Nivolumab is an antibody working by attaching to and blocking a molecule called PD 1. PD 1 is a protein that is present on different types of cells in the immune system and controls parts of the immune system by shutting it down. Antibodies (proteins in the immune system which act to stop infection harming the body) that block PD 1 can potentially prevent PD 1 from shutting down the immune system, thus allowing immune cells to recognize and destroy cancer cells. Vidutolimod (CMP-001) is a Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) agonist, with the ability to generate tumor-targeted T cells capable of killing a tumor both locally and systemically in combination with checkpoint inhibitors (nivolumab, in this case), thus potentially improving outcomes for people whose tumors are progressing. Giving nivolumab and vidutolimod may kill more cancer cells in patients with metastatic prostate cancer.

This phase I trial tests the safety and side effects of cyclophosphamide given together with dexamethasone in treating patients with castration resistant prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body (metastatic). Chemotherapy drugs, such as cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving low doses of cyclophosphamide daily may reduce side effects. Dexamethasone is a corticosteroid drug that is used to treat some of the problems caused by chemotherapy treatment. The combination of cyclophosphamide and dexamethasone may work better in treating patients with castration resistant prostate cancer.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of a PARP inhibitor, Pamiparib, in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients with homologous recombination deficiency or BRCA 1 or 2 somatic/germline mutation.

The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the feasibility of a home based exercise program for individuals with breast or prostate cancer patients undergoing active treatment.

This phase IV clinical trial investigates the impact of prostate cancer treatment, specifically androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), on the heart and coronary vessels among men with localized, non-metastatic prostate cancer undergoing definitive radiation therapy and concomitant ADT. Recently, cardiovascular toxicity from hormone therapy that is routinely used for prostate cancer (e.g. leuprolide) has emerged as a concern, yet studies identifying who is at risk and the mechanism of cardiac damage are lacking. Additionally, a new hormone therapy drug, relugolix, has recently been Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved and may reduce toxicity to the heart. This trial intends to investigate the mechanism of cardiovascular toxicity from ADT, investigate the mechanism by which relugolix reduces cardiovascular toxicity, and identify predictive biomarkers to improve individualized risk-assessment for cardiovascular toxicity from ADT.

The aim is to investigate whether the addition of short-term androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) during 1 month or short-term ADT during 6 months together with an androgen receptor targeted therapy (ARTA) to metastasis-directed therapy (MDT) significantly prolongs poly-metastatic free survival (PMFS) and/or metastatic castration-refractory prostate cancer free survival (mCRPC-FS) in patients with oligorecurrent hormone sensitive prostate cancer.

Evaluate whether the combination of Rezvilutamide and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with docetaxel improves overall survival (OS) in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC) compared to the combination of Rezvilutamide and ADT.

The purpose of the study is to determine if the intermittent use of androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) in participants with metastatic castrate-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) who reached a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level < 0.2 nanograms/millilitres (ng/mL) after 6 months of treatment with apalutamide and ADT combination therapy provides non-inferior radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) and a reduced burden of hot flashes measured as 18-month percent change in severity adjusted hot flash score.

This is a phase I study which will test the safety of different doses of the patients own immune cells which have been changed to help recognize and destroy the cancer cells. The investigators want to find out what effects, good and/or bad, it has on the body and on the prostate cancer. The immune cells (T cells) used in this study will be the patients own immune cells. They will be removed from the patients blood, changed in the laboratory, and then put back into their body. T cells help the body fight infections. These cells may also kill cancer cells in some cases. Right now the patients T cells are unable to kill the cancer cells. For this reason, the physician will change the T cells by putting in a gene so that they may be able to better recognize and kill the prostate cancer cells. A gene is a portion of information which comes from the DNA and tells the cell what to do. This gene will be put into the patients T cells by a weakened virus. It is hoped that this approach will help the T cells recognize the prostate cancer tumor cells and possibly kill them. This is an entirely new treatment for prostate cancer and it is not known if it will have any beneficial or unexpected harmful effects.

The purpose of this study is to determine the proportion of men with residual/recurrent clinically significant prostate cancer (Grade Group ≥2 disease) in the ablated or unablated prostate tissue following the combination treatment of 6-months of androgen deprivation therapy, apalutamide, and partial ablation of the prostate in men with newly diagnosed non-metastatic intermediate risk prostate cancer; specifically, men with a histopathologic diagnosis of Grade Group 2 & 3, with prostate specific antigen level <20 ng/mL. And to assess the safety of the combination treatment of androgen deprivation therapy, apalutamide, and partial ablation of the prostate for the management of these patients.
