Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Neoplasms"

The purpose of this Phase I/II study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of up to 5 study drugs used together for the treatment of solid tumor cancers. The drugs are hydroxychloroquine, nelfinavir, metformin, dasatinib and sirolimus.

This is an open-label, randomized, Phase 2b study of ZEN003694 in combination with enzalutamide vs. enzalutamide monotherapy in patients with mCRPC who have progressed on prior abiraterone by PCWG3 criteria. Disease must have progressed on only abiraterone by PCWG3 criteria prior to study entry. The patient population will be separated into two cohorts: Cohort A: Patients with poor response to prior abiraterone defined as: Abiraterone started in hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (HSPC) disease setting: < 12 months duration on abiraterone or failure to achieve PSA nadir of 0.2 ng/mL while taking abiraterone, or; Abiraterone started in castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) disease setting: < 6 months duration on abiraterone or failure to achieve PSA50 response while on abiraterone Cohort B: Patients with response to prior abiraterone, defined as: Abiraterone started in hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (HSPC) disease setting: ≥ 12 months duration on abiraterone and nadir PSA < 0.2 ng/mL, or; Abiraterone started in castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) disease setting: ≥ 6 months duration on abiraterone and confirmed PSA50 response

The main objective of this project is to establish a shared comprehensive and systematic protocol for a multicenter prospective registry of patients undergoing salvage cryoablation of the prostate (SCAP). Our study hypothesis is that SCAP constitutes an effective and safe approach to treat local prostate cancer recurrence after brachytherapy or external beam radiation therapy (EBRT).

This phase I study will assess the toxicity profile and efficacy of SBRT (Stereotactic body radiotherapy) in patients with localized prostate cancer who are considered candidates for post-prostatectomy radiation.

Significant advances in molecular nuclear medicine imaging in prostate cancer have been achieved in recent years. In particular, the introduction of prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) -based tracers has significantly influenced diagnostic imaging of prostate. If cancer recurs after surgical removal of the prostate, targeted PSMA PET (positron emission tomography) can detect metastases even at very low PSA (prostate-specific Antigen) values. This increasingly allows individualized specific therapy of patients with prostate cancer recurrence. PSMA PET has now been included in national and international guidelines for the diagnosis of patients with biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer. Especially in patients in good general condition, with potentially longer life expectancy and early localized PSA recurrence, advances in molecular imaging are increasingly turning local therapy concepts into focus. Here both, radiotherapeutic (salvage radiotherapy of the lymphatic drainage) and surgical interventions (salvage lymph node dissection = removal of the pelvic lymph nodes) are offered on an individual basis. These regional therapies mainly aim to achieve a delay of further progression of the prostate cancer disease, and thus delay the initiation of palliative, sustained drug therapy. Previous standard or common practice at salvage lymph node dissection is the removal on both sides of the pelvic lymph nodes even if only one-sided suspicious lymph nodes are detected on imaging. Although the complications of salvage lymph node dissection are usually minor and manageable, they can still lead to impaired lymphatic drainage, leg edema, lymphocele formation or other surgical complications. The aim of the present study is to investigate whether a unilateral pelvic lymph node dissection on the side of conspicuous PSMA PET is sufficient and a dissection on the contralateral side can be dispensed without negatively impacting oncological outcomes and thereby sparing the patient the potential additional complications of a bilateral pelvic lymph node dissection.

This is a Phase III, international, multicentre, randomised, double-blinded placebo controlled trial, evaluating the efficacy and safety of ADT +/- darolutamide in castration-naïve de novo metastatic prostate cancer patients with vulnerable functional ability who have not elected for docetaxel or other androgen receptor pathway inhibitors.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of TABP EIC in patients with Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer biochemical recurrence (BCR) occurs in 20-50% of patients following radical prostatectomy or radiotherapy. Due to significant risk of side effects and uncertainty about the benefits, physicians and patients are seeking alternatives to delay androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for non-metastatic BCR. Long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (LCn3), mainly found in seafood and fatty fish, have beneficial effects against prostate cancer in pre-clinical experimental studies and randomized clinical trials of intermediate prostate cancer outcomes. The current observational evidence also supports testing LCn3 in prostate cancer patients. LCn3 have beneficial effects on inflammation, cardiovascular, psychological, and other outcomes, contrasting sharply with ADT-associated side effects. Investigators propose to conduct a pilot randomized placebo-controlled trial to determine the effects over one year of an innovative LCn3 supplement (5g of omega-3-rich fish oil daily, including 4g of monoglycerides eicosapentaenoic acid (MAG-EPA)) in 40 men experiencing BCR or prostate cancer progression after a curative treatment. This project proposes a simple intervention by dietary supplementation that could eventually help to prevent or delay ADT-related side effects and thus could contribute to diminish the heavy individual and societal burden of prostate cancer. The clinical data generated by this pilot trial will serve as basis for a larger-scale phase II clinical trial.

The purpose of this study is to determine if treatment with apalutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) before and after radical prostatectomy (RP) with pelvic lymph node dissection (pLND) in participants with high-risk localized or locally advanced prostate cancer results in an improvement in pathological complete response (pCR) rate and metastasis-free survival (MFS) as compared to placebo plus ADT.

In prior studies, the investigators synthesized 177Lu-EB-PSMA-617 by conjugating a truncated Evans Blue (EB) molecule and DOTA chelator onto PSMA-617 and labeled it with 177Lu to increase the tumor accumulation and retention for radioligand therapy，and then the investigators evaluated the dosimetry of 177Lu-EB-PSMA-617 and response to single low-dose treatment in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer(mCRPC). This study was performed to evaluate the safety and therapy response to 177Lu-EB-PSMA-617 in patients with mCRPC. This is an open-label, randomized study. Different groups with doses of 1.11GBq (30 mCi), 2.00 GBq (54 mCi) and 3.7GBq (100 mCi)of 177Lu-EB -PSMA617 will be injected intravenously. All patients will undergo 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT scans before and after the treatment.
