Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Neoplasms"

This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of hypofractionated stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) in treating patients with prostate cancer that was removed by surgery. Hypofractionated SBRT delivers higher doses of radiation therapy over a shorter period of time and may kill more tumor cells and may have fewer side effects than standard radiation therapy.

Excessive tiredness (fatigue) is a common problem in cancer patients and can affect quality of life negatively. There is limited knowledge about the physical mechanisms that cause fatigue, and there is no medical treatment. Physical activity can reduce the inconvenience, but the investigators need to learn more about the type and intensity of exercise that works the best as well as how to motivate patients to exercise. The overall aim, is to evaluate the efficacy and cost-effectiveness of individually tailored high (H) and low/medium (LM) intensity physical training, with or without behavioural medicine (BM) support strategies, during adjuvant oncological treatment on; Cancer Related Fatigue (CRF),Quality of Life (QoL), mood disturbance, adherence to the cancer treatment, adverse effects, disease outcome, return to a daily life after completed treatment and return to work. The investigators will also describe changes in inflammatory markers and cytokines related to physical training and gene expressions following training to investigate whether these serve as mediators for the effects of physical training on CRF and QoL. This will be evaluated in newly diagnosed breast, colorectal and prostate cancer patients during adjuvant therapy at three different centres in Sweden; Uppsala, Lund/Malmö and Linköping. A 2x2 factorial design will be used, 600 patients will be randomised to H, H+BM, LM or LM+BM. Patients will train two times per week during 6 months. This project will give; new knowledge about aspects for individuals to gain improved well-being and quality of life, facilitated return to work, and possibly reduced risk of cancer recurrence. This in turn would result in lower burden on the health care system, reduced societal costs and have a positive impact on public health. Implementation of the results into clinical practice will be facilitated by the close collaboration between researchers and clinicians, and the fact that the study is performed in clinical settings.

The study will examine stereotactic ablative body radiotherapy (SABR), a new technique to deliver radiotherapy to men with prostate cancer. In addition to this, it will look at the effect of SABR on levels of markers of radiation exposure and bowel damage, along with other potential markers of outcome and side effects. Quality of life and any side effects that develop during and after treatment will also be assessed.

This randomized phase II/III trial studies docetaxel, antiandrogen therapy, and radiation therapy to see how well it works compared with antiandrogen therapy and radiation therapy alone in treating patients with prostate cancer that has been removed by surgery. Androgen can cause the growth of prostate cells. Antihormone therapy may lessen the amount of androgen made by the body. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving antiandrogen therapy and radiation therapy with or without docetaxel after surgery may kill any remaining tumor cells.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness, safety and tolerability of nivolumab followed by ipilimumab, in subjects with metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).

Despite continuous technical improvements in urologic surgery, up to 40% of prostate cancer patients will develop biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy (RP), potentially because of micro metastasis at the time of the primary surgery. With improved radiological modalities and nuclear medicine tracers like 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT, which allow the localization of the site of recurrence, there is increasing interest in metastasis directed therapies, such as salvage lymph node dissection. The pelvic extended salvage lymph node dissection (sLND) is a promising option for treating prostate cancer patients with local recurrence after radical prostatectomy with curative intent. Several retrospective series has been published to determine the local value of sLND. Despite the first data seem to be feasible and promising, to date no prospective evaluation has been made. Thus sLND is still experimental according to the guidelines and is considered as an off label therapy. This prospective single center phase I/II study was conducted to investigate the safety and early efficacy of salvage lymph node dissection in prostate cancer patients with local pelvic recurrence after radical prostatectomy (RP) with curative intention.

Single center, single-arm, open-label, 60-month follow-up phase IIb clinical trial. Men with localized prostate cancer will receive TOOKAD® Soluble VTP under general anesthesia. To evaluate the absence of biopsy detectable Gleason grade 4 or 5 prostate cancer tumors anywhere in the prostate gland on 12-month, post-treatment biopsy following TOOKAD® Soluble-VTP in men with prostate cancer Gleason score 7(3+4).

Background: Some people with prostate cancer have a rise in prostate-specific antigen (PSA). This can happen even after treatments like radiation and surgery. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) drugs and close monitoring are one standard way to treat this group of people. Another way is to monitor people and their PSA values over time. Researchers want to see if a combination of new drugs can help these people. Objective: To see if the combination treatment of PROSTVAC, CV301, and MSB0011359C (M7824) can induce an anti-tumor attack in people with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with certain kinds of prostate cancer Design: Participants will be screened with Medical history Physical exam Blood and urine tests A scan of the neck, chest, abdomen, and pelvis A bone scan A sample of tissue that was already taken will be tested. This will confirm the diagnosis, stage, and disease status. Some participants will have close monitoring with four monthly PSA checks. All participants will get two study drugs as shots under the skin. They will get the third drug in a vein. They will get the drugs over at least 7 months. Their vital signs will be checked before they get the drugs and for up to 1 hour after. Participants will have frequent study visits. They will have physical exams, urine and blood tests, and scans. Participants will return to the clinic about 4 weeks after they stop taking the study drugs. They will have a medical history, physical exam, and blood tests. They may also have long-term follow-up visits.

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of PI3Kbeta inhibitor AZD8186 when given together with docetaxel in treating patients with solid tumors with PTEN or PIK3CB mutations that have spread to other places in the body (metastatic) or cannot be removed by surgery. PI3Kbeta inhibitor AZD8186 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving PI3Kbeta inhibitor AZD8186 and docetaxel may work better in treating patients with solid tumors.

This phase I trial studies the side effects of daratumumab or FMS inhibitor JNJ-40346527 before surgery in treating patients with high-risk prostate cancer that can be removed by surgery and has not spread to other parts of the body or has spread to nearby tissue or lymph nodes. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as daratumumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spreadFMS inhibitor JNJ-40346527 may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving daratumumab or FMS inhibitor JNJ-40346527 before surgery may work better in treating patients with prostate cancer.
