Active clinical trials for "Prostatic Diseases"

The study is being conducted to learn why some patients with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) do not respond to a commonly used treatment drug, Finasteride. The hope is to find ways to predict which patients will not respond to Finasteride so that, in the future, these patients can be identified prior to offering this treatment and they can be offered alternative treatment strategies in its place. The aim is to see if noninvasive techniques such as MRI can detect inflammation of the prostate to assist with early detection of those who will and who will not respond to Finasteride.

The purpose of this research study is to determine the safety and feasibility of using the UroNav software and DynaCAD software for planning and treating prostate cancer as an add on to the already approved workflow of using ultrasound only during the cryoablation of the prostate. The software application may aid doctors in locating a prior biopsy proven cancer location from the UroNav biopsy that patients previously had and then use that information to guide the treatment.

To determine the dose, safety, radiation dosimetry and efficacy of 177Lu-rhPSMA-10.1 in participants with PSMA-expressing metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety, tolerability, and effectiveness of the investigational drug nivolumab (Opdivo™) in combination with high dose radiation. Investigators also want to see if these study drugs help to delay the progression of prostate cancer.

This phase II study will investigate the activity and safety of radionuclide 177Lu-PSMA therapy versus 177Lu-PSMA in combination with Ipilimumab and Nivolumab in patients with metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).

Today, many centers still perform Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) cognitive prostate biopsy. The efficacy of detecting clinically significant prostate cancer, which is thought to be due to the experience of the urologist who performed the sampling and the difference in experience of the radiologists who performed the Multiparametric Prostate Magnetic Resonance (MPMR) evaluation, has been reported between 25% and 34% in the literature. In order to eliminate this reporting and sampling difference, The goal of this interventional study is to compare the effectiveness of Multiparametric Prostate Magnetic Resonance (MPMR) Imaging routinely taken before biopsy with a single-center randomized and prospective study and prostate biopsies to be performed by the same urologist with the mapping technique created by a single genitourinary radiologist working in our center with standard cognitive prostate biopsy and to contribute to the literature Type of study: Clinical trial participant population: Male patients with elevated serum Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) or indicated prostate biopsy by Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) imaging and underwent Multiparametric Prostate Magnetic Resonance (MPMR) before the procedure Participants will undergo transrectal prostate biopsy with or without mapping, Researches will compare to see if the cancer detection rates differ

This research study is designed to determine if targeted Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Ultrasound (US) fusion biopsy is better than the standard of care ultrasound guided biopsy alone in diagnosing subjects with clinically significant prostate cancer with MRI visible lesions. This study will consist of comparing the standard of care (ultrasound guided prostate biopsy) with the protocol biopsy which consists of an ultrasound guided prostate biopsy and a MRI/US fusion tracked prostate biopsy.

This prospective trial aims to determine if enhanced prostate imaging using two novel imaging technologies (high resolution DWI and 18F-PSMA PET-MRI) will detect prostate cancers not seen on standard multiparametric prostate MRI in patients considered candidates for focal HIFU.

An open-label, multi-center, single and cyclic ascending dose study of P-PSMA-101 autologous CAR-T cells in patients with mCRPC and SGC.

This study is set up as a phase I-II prospective, single center, interventional pilot study carried in Office setting under local anesthesia. It will assess the impact in quality of life and adverse events produced by transperineal laser ablation of the prostate (TPLA) in men 40 to 85 years of age with benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). BPH is currently managed with medications (ie, alpha-1 adrenergic medications) and/or invasive approaches such as transurethral resection of prostate or surgical excision of prostate - robotic or open lead to relaxation or excision of the bladder neck. Such alteration of the bladder neck function or anatomy portends a significant and noticeable change on a male lifestyle, represented by absence of antegrade ejaculation among others. This study aims to evaluate the use of TPLA in the office setting under local anesthesia - greatly decreasing patient perioperative surgical risk. Moreover, it aims to determine safety profile and outcomes from TPLA therapy The fundamental objective is to determine the feasibility and safety of TPLA in healthy men with LUTS due to BPH, successful performed in the outpatient office-based setting under local anesthesia. Secondary objectives include: 1-Uroflowmetry and Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) at three, six and 12 months; 2-Immediately spontaneous voiding post-TPLA; 3-Hematuria incidence after TPLA, measured by patient reporting; 4-LUTS after the treatment measured by IPSS; 5- Erectile function and presence of ejaculation after TPLA treatment and 6-Prostate volume changes using Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) volume measurements
