Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Neoplasms"

PSA-recurrence prostate carcinoma is associated with two general problems. Localisation of PSA-recurrence is unconfident. In many cases it's not clear if a local, locoregional oder systemic relapse is available. There is no standard therapy proved by randomised clinical trials. Recommended radiotherapy starting with PSA-value < 0.5 ng/ml according to german S3 guidelines is based on retrospective data. These difficulties may lead to a therapy potentially not adapted to patients situation of disease.This study aims to randomised examine if an instant radiotherapy of prostate PSA-recurrence (PSA-value between 0.2 - 0.99 ng/ml) or a delayed radiotherapy with additional imaging (PSA value >= 1 ng/ml) including PET/CT and bone scintigraphy for reliable information about tumor location and expansion is beneficial regarding therapy efficiency, quality of life and social economic aspects.

Giving a higher dose of radiation to the dominant tumour nodule within the prostate is hypothesized to improve tumour control. This trial will assess whether this technique, delivered in 5 treatments, can be delivered without increasing side effects.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and clinical efficacy of novel peptide vaccination for advanced prostate cancer

The proposed phase 1 clinical trial will investigate the safety and tolerability of 177Lu-CYT-500 in patients with metastatic prostate cancer and determine the optimal antibody mass and dose of 177Lu to be used for further study.

This is a multicenter, randomized, phase II study of the safety and efficacy of two dose levels of oral ATN-224 in patients with prostate cancer with a rising serum PSA in the absence of detectable disease. Patients will be randomized (1:1) after confirmation of eligibility requirements. The primary endpoint is to determine the proportion of patients who do not have PSA progression for 24 weeks. PSA progression is defined as at least a 50% increase in PSA and >5 ng/mL from baseline or post-treatment nadir if lower than baseline, confirmed by another PSA at least 28 days later.

RATIONALE: Vaccines made from tumor cells may help the body build an effective immune response to kill tumor cells. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying vaccine therapy to see how well it works compared with a placebo in treating patients with stage D0 prostate cancer.

Primary Objective: Describe real-life survival of CRPC patients who received first-line docetaxel and have disease progression Secondary Objective: Describe treatment patterns Describe the characteristics and outcomes of patients who received second-line taxane-based treatment compared to others Describe economic and patient-reported outcomes

RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT) imaging, may help find and diagnose metastatic prostate cancer. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying the side effects of C-11 choline and 18F-fluoromethylcholine and to see how well they work when used in PET and CT imaging in patients with metastatic prostate cancer.

RATIONALE: Sometimes prostate cancer may not need treatment until it progresses. In this case, active surveillance may be sufficient. Diagnostic procedures, such as magnetic resonance imaging, may be a less invasive method of finding prostate cancer that has progressed. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well magnetic resonance imaging works in detecting cancer progression in patients with early-stage prostate cancer who are undergoing active surveillance.

Hamsa-1™ is an anti-angiogenic drug combination designed for the treatment of cancer. The investigational product Hamsa-1™ comprises of four well-known active components. The therapy is administrated at a unique dosing regimen that was found to be effective and advantageous in terms of safety.The product is formulated as an oral suspension, conveniently administrated by the patients at home and not requiring medical staff assistance. This Phase IIb clinical trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of Hamsa-1™ for the treatment of metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC) patients.
