Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Neoplasms"

This phase II trial studies the side effects of radiation therapy (hypofractionated proton beam therapy or IMRT) for the treatment of prostate cancer that has come back (recurrent) or that has spread to a limited number of sites (oligometastatic) following primary localized treatment. Hypofractionated proton beam radiation therapy delivers smaller doses of radiation therapy over time and may kill more tumor cells and have fewer side effects. IMRT uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. This trial is being done to find out if a shorter course of radiation therapy is better with fewer side effects for patients with recurrent prostate cancer.

This research study is studying an immune-based cancer drug as a possible treatment for prostate cancer. The drug involved in this study is: -Nivolumab

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of ablative therapy (radiation or surgery) to all sites of disease combined with standard treatments on prostate cancer, compared to the standard or usual treatments used to treat this disease.

The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a difference in intra-abdominal pressure which surgeons use during surgery and post-surgery pain in men who undergo robotic prostate surgery with deep neuromuscular blockade (NMB), compared with moderate NMB.

The study primary objective is to evaluate the effect of HC-1119 soft capsules versus placebo on overall survival (OS) in mCRPC patients who have failed or become intolerant to the treatments with both abiraterone acetate and docetaxel, or who are not suitable for docetaxel treatment.

This phase 1 dose-escalation and dose-expansion study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of olaparib in combination with 177Lutetium-Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen (177 Lu-PSMA) in patients with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).

Currently, lymph node dissection is standard of care during prostatectomy of intermediate risk tumors at the Martini Clinic. It allows the assessment of possible but unlikely lymph nodes metastases. In case of lymph node metastasis, depending on the number of affected lymph nodes, an adjuvant radiation with or without additional hormone therapy may be discussed in order to stop or delay further progression of the disease. Since the procedure carries additional risks, it is controversial. The risks include prolonged surgery duration, injury of vessels and nerves, as well as disorders of lymphatic circulation after surgery. Moreover, formation of lymphoceles (accumulation of lymph fluid in the tissue) are common, which may result in soft tissue swelling, thrombosis, inflammation and additional surgical procedures. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate whether the removal of the lymph nodes during prostatectomy positively influences the course of the disease in patients with intermediate risk prostate cancer, or if the lymph node dissection does not have any influence on the recurrence of the disease and therefore further therapies. In this case, the omission of lymph node dissection may avoid an unnecessary expansion of the operation and the potentially associated side effects linked to it. This is particularly of interest considering the rapidly advancing technical possibilities, both in imaging and in the treatment of prostate cancer, since this enables an earlier and more individual intervention in the case of recurrence.

This is a multicenter, open-label, randomized, two-arm, phase II clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of talazoparib (PF-06944076) in combination with enzalutamide in patients with metastatic hormone-naïve prostate cancer (mHNPC)

This Phase II study is designed to study the clinical and radiologic response, as well as, safety and tolerability of abemaciclib in combination with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) in patients with localized high-risk or locally advanced prostate cancer who are eligible for definitive radiation therapy (RT) and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).

Background: Immunotherapy drugs help the body to fight cancer. Scientists think that combining some of these drugs will make them work better than when used alone. This may be true for many types of cancer, including castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Objective: To test if the combination of the drugs BN-brachyury, M7824, N-803, and Epacadostat is safe and shrinks tumors. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with CRPC or another metastatic cancer Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam CT or MRI scans Possible bone imaging Blood, urine, and heart tests Possible tumor biopsy Participants will be treated with a 2-, 3- or 4-drug combinations of the following study drugs in 2-week cycles: Participants will receive M7824 by IV once every 2 weeks. Participants will receive N-803 by injection once every 2 weeks. They will record any skin changes at the injection site in a diary. Participants will receive BN-brachyury as 4 injections to different limbs. They will get the first 3 doses 2 weeks apart. Then they will get doses every 4 weeks for 6 months, then every 3 months for 2 years, then every 6 months. Participants will take Epacadostat orally every 12 hours. They will keep a pill diary. Participants will have physical exams and blood and urine tests at the start of each cycle. They may have scans every 12 weeks. Participants will continue treatment until their disease gets worse or they cannot tolerate the side effects. Participants will have a follow-up visit 4-5 weeks after they stop treatment. They will have a physical exam and blood tests. They may be asked to return for scans every 3 months.
