206 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The Genitourinary Oncology/Urology Services at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) participates in research for the control, treatment, and cure of cancer. The purpose of this study is to collect normal and cancerous tissues, in addition to blood, and other body fluid samples from men with prostate cancer or prostatic disease. These samples may be stored for future use or used immediately by researchers who study prostate cancer and try to find better ways to diagnose, prevent, and treat it. We will look for genetic changes and protein markers on these cells. We hope to learn more about what makes some people get prostate cancer, why some cancers are more aggressive than others, and why some cancers respond to or resist different treatments. We may also try to grow the tumor cells in the lab. We may find a new treatment for prostate cancer based on this research.
Prostate Cancer
Transrectal prostate biopsy is a commonly performed ambulatory procedure for diagnosing prostate cancer. Prostate biopsy are associated with pain or anxiety. Nitrous oxide (or laughing gas) is a well-known inhaled anesthetic which is frequently used in dental offices and for pediatric procedures to alleviate a patient's anxiety and pain. This study seeks to determine whether administration of nitrous oxide at the time of prostate biopsy will improve a patient's experience of care.

This is a prospective, open-label Phase 2 study to evaluate copper Cu 64 PSMA I\&T injection for PET/CT imaging in patients with recurrent metastatic prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy or radiation therapy.
Metastasis From Malignant Tumor of Prostate (Disorder)
Currently used biopsy devices do not predictably obtain full cores of tissue and the tissue obtained is often fragmented and disrupted making it difficult for pathological review. This post-market study will assess the utility of the SUREcore biopsy needle and the coreCARE specimen retrieval device versus a standard of care biopsy needle and the typical tissue container used in urology offices and clinics today.
Prostate Disease, Prostate CA
The purpose of this research is to collect data about the MRI cryoablation procedure your doctor(s) would normally perform in order to treat the participants focal prostate cancer and to evaluate the participants condition after the participants treatment is performed. Participants have been asked to take part in this research because the participants have been diagnosed with prostate cancer and scheduled to have an ablation procedure.
Primary Malignant Neoplasm of Prostate (Diagnosis)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and outcomes, such as postoperative dysuria (pain during urination), urgency (frequent need to urinate) and urinary incontinence (leaking urine or inability to hold urine), of 3 different HoLEP laser settings.
Prostate Disease, Surgery
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.

The purpose of this study is to see if the study drug 4-aminopyridine (4-AP) can help speed up the recovery of peripheral nerve injury after prostatectomy. 4-AP is a potassium channel blocker used to improve walking in multiple sclerosis patients. Investigators will measure the effect that 4-AP may have on the recovery of sexual function and urinary incontinence after prostatectomy.
Prostate Disease
The purpose of this study is to see if the ConfirmMDx assay is useful in finding prostate cancer in patients who are at increased risk for prostate cancer based on elevated PSA and prostate lesion identified on mpMRI.
Prostate Disease
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if a rectal balloon with attached radiation detectors can be used to help researchers monitor the dose of external beam radiation that is delivered to the prostate during treatment. This may help researchers better understand the side effects of radiation therapy, such as rectal bleeding, and may lead to changes in treatment planning or treatment delivery.
Prostate Disease
The purpose of this research study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of the investigational drug, Ixabepilone, in men with high risk prostate cancer who plan to receive surgery. Prostate cancer is a common and important health issue facing men in the United States. Most patients with prostate cancer are identified when the disease is limited to the prostate gland itself (localized prostate cancer). A standard treatment for some patients with localized prostate cancer is removal of the prostate gland in an operation known as a "radical prostatectomy." A sub-set of patients with localized prostate cancer can be identified who are at high-risk of suffering a recurrence of prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy. For these patients, additional treatments are being investigated to combine with surgery in the hopes of increasing the chances for cure. Several kinds of chemotherapy medicines have been used for advanced prostate cancer which returns after initial therapy. Epothilones are a newly developed class of chemotherapy drugs that appear promising for the treatment of many forms of cancer. Ixabepilone is drug in the epothilone class of chemotherapy medicines that has shown encouraging results for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer and other cancers in clinical trials. This trial will include men with high-risk localized prostate cancer who will receive treatment with ixabepilone (4 cycles over 12 weeks) prior to radical prostatectomy. The goal of this trial will be to determine if analysis of genes and proteins in prostate cancer tissue taken before and after treatment can be used to predict ixabepilone response. In addition, this trial will evaluate the safety and feasibility of administering ixabepilone prior to radical prostatectomy for patients at high-risk of developing recurrent prostate cancer. The study has three phases: Screening, Treatment and Follow-up * Screening: Eligibility will be verified * Treatment: Subjects will receive Ixabepilone, which will be administered every 21 days for 4 cycles prior to surgery * Follow up: Subjects will be followed every 6 months for up to 5 years. In addition, tissue will be collected at the time of surgery for genetic and protein studies. Blood will also be collected pre and post therapy for proteomic and/or genetic studies.

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

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.

This is a prospective data collection of men who are electing to undergo prostate hemi-gland cryoablation. The purpose of this observational research study is to investigate the localized treatment of prostate cancer using hemi-gland cryoablation. UCLA patients undergoing hemi-gland cryoablation are a unique cohort compared to prior research because all patients at UCLA have had a pre-treatment multi-parametric MRI and Ultrasound fusion targeted biopsy; they will be followed in a similar fashion. This results in more precise assessment of a target region of cancer for ablation which may, in turn, result in improved clinical outcomes.

The study will consist of 2 parts: Part I (Dose Escalation) and Part II (Dose Expansion). In Part I, patients will participate in single, multiple, and long-term dosing periods using EPI-506 to determine safety, pharmacokinetics, the maximum tolerated dose, and preliminary indications of anti-tumor activity. Part I is an open-label, adaptive 3 + 3 design, dose-escalation study. Approximately six dose levels of EPI-506 will be studied, beginning at 80 mg/day. Enrolled patients may be allowed to escalate to a subsequent dose cohort after their initial twelve weeks. Additional patients may be enrolled at any safe dose level prior to or concurrent with enrolling patients in Part II. In Part II, 3 patient populations; post-abiraterone metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) but enzalutamide-naïve, post-enzalutamide mCRPC but abiraterone-naïve, and post-abiraterone and enzalutamide mCRPC will be studied at the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) determined in Part I over 12 weeks of daily dosing. Approximately 120 patients (40 in each cohort) will be enrolled.
