Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Neoplasms"

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the activity of romidepsin (depsipeptide,FK228) in patients with metastatic prostate cancer who have developed a rising prostate specific antigen (PSA) while undergoing hormonal therapy.

This was an extension study for the study FE200486 CS14 (NCT00116779). Each participant was to be treated until he was discontinued or withdrawn from the study, or a marketing authorization for degarelix had been obtained. The study was terminated when all ongoing participants had been treated for at least 5 years.

The principal objectives of the RADAR trial is to address the hypotheses; 1) that 18 months androgen deprivation in conjunction with radiotherapy is superior to 6 months androgen deprivation prior to and during radiotherapy; 2) that 18 months Bisphosphonate therapy will prevent bone loss caused by androgen deprivation therapy and further reduce relapse risk by impeding the development of bony metastases.

The present study will give information about the course over time in skeletal-related events (SRE) in prostate cancer patients with bone metastases treated with zoledronic acid 4 mg administered as a 15-minute infusion every 4 weeks for a maximum of 15 infusions. The protocol will enroll patients with recent diagnosis of bone metastases from prostate cancer who are hormone-refractory, hormone-naïve or still hormone-sensitive, that represent the entire population of prostate cancer patients

The purpose of this study is to investigate gene expression profiles and biologic features of prostate tissue and how they relate to prostate cancer development and growth.

A new method for localization of the prostate during external beam radiotherapy. The method is based on insertion of a new thermo-expandable Ni-Ti stent. The radiological properties of the stent are used for precise prostate localization during treatment using electronic portal images

The monoclonal antibody J591 is being investigated as therapy for patients with prostate cancer, in combination with recombinant interleukin-2 (Proleukin, Aldesleukin). The study is an open-label, non-randomized phase II study for patients with documented hormone refractory prostate cancer.

The aim of this study is to investigate and possibly validate urinary biomarkers for prostate cancer. During this study the focus will be on aberrations of selected genes as prognostic or predictive value has been shown for these genes in tissue, CTC or blood derived cfDNA. Proteins will be explored in urine as well. This is a prospective study in which urine samples will be collected from healthy volunteers and urine samples and a blood sample from cancer patients with prostate cancer. The participants will be asked to provide a urine sample collected with the ColliPee® device and fill out an online questionnaire to collect usability data. Thereafter, the urine sample will be aliquoted to be used in the study to investigate the different urinary analytes.

The objective of the study is to evaluate 68Ga PSMA 11 PET/MRI and 68Ga RM2 PET/MRI for biopsy guidance in patients with suspected prostate cancer.

The EMPOWeR study is proposed as a cohort study with longitudinal follow-up to determine rates of genetic mutations among men with or at-risk for prostate cancer to address the various facets of genetic education and counseling for optimized genetic assessment and wellness of men. The results will inform practice guidelines and future studies for maximal impact of genetic evaluation of men for inherited prostate cancer.
