Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Neoplasms"

This Phase Ib dose escalation study is designed to characterize the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of i.v. panobinostat (LBH589) in combination with docetaxel and prednisone in the 1st line treatment of patients with hormone refractory prostate cancer.

This is a phase 3 study to compare the clinical benefit of abiraterone acetate plus prednisone with placebo plus prednisone in asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).

The purpose of this trial was to select a dose of degarelix (FE 200486). Three groups of patients were treated for six months on different doses. The patients had blood samples taken and measured for Testosterone in order to determine the most efficient dose to provide fast and sustained castration. The patients came to the clinic for 16 visits and dependent on the blood sample results they were invited to return for additional blood samples on a two weekly basis.

A study to investigate the activity of BI 2536 in Prostate Cancer

The primary objective of this trial is to estimate and compare the 12-week progression-free rate of BIBF 1120, BIBW 2992 or sequential administration of BIBF 1120 and BIBW 2992 in patients with HRPC as determined by radiographic, bone and PSA criteria.

RATIONALE: Internal radiation uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells. Specialized radiation therapy that delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects of internal radiation therapy when given with or without external-beam radiation therapy and to see how well it works in treating patients with localized prostate cancer.

This is a Phase I, non-randomized, multiple-dose, 3+3 dose-escalation study of the safety, pharmacokinetics, biomarkers, preliminary efficacy and patient-reported outcomes of therapeutic vaccine, BPX-101 (formerly BP-GMAX-CD1), plus activating agent, AP1903, in patients with castrate resistant prostate cancer.

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of a new vaccine in hormone refractory prostate cancer

The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of zoledronic acid on bone mineral density in prostatic cancer patients currently receiving androgen deprivation therapy.

This is a multi-center open-label dose-escalation study of a novel compound (MDV3100) to treat patients with castration-resistant (hormone-refractory) prostate cancer. Additional patients will be enrolled in expanded cohorts at doses determined to be tolerable. Patients who tolerate the drug and do not progress will be allowed to continue to look for PSA response.
