34 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
This phase II trial tests how well darolutamide in combination with leuprolide acetate and exemestane works in treating patients with ovarian granulosa cell tumors that have come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). Darolutamide is in a class of medications called androgen receptor inhibitors. It works by blocking the effects of androgen (a male reproductive hormone) to stop the growth and spread of tumor cells. Leuprolide acetate is in a class of medications called gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonists. It works by decreasing the amount of certain hormones in the body. Exemestane is in a class of medications called aromatase inhibitors which has anti-estrogen and anticancer activities. Exemestane binds to and inhibits the enzyme aromatase, thereby blocking the conversion of androgens to estrogens. This lowers estrogen levels in the blood circulation causing the tumor cells to grow more slowly or stop growing completely. The combination of darolutamide, leuprolide acetate, and exemestane may be an effective approach to shrinking or stabilizing recurrent ovarian granulosa cell tumors or preventing them from coming back.
This was a randomized study to evaluate the risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) for relugolix compared with leuprolide acetate. Enrollment in this study was discontinued by the Sponsor on 01 Dec 2023. In an effort to mitigate any treatment interruptions, actively enrolled patients will be allowed to remain on study drug up to a period of 12 months ending Dec 2024 if they choose to remain in the discontinuation phase of the study.
This is a phase 3, single arm, open-label study evaluating the effectiveness of TOL2506 to suppress ovarian function in premenopausal women with HR+, HER2-negative breast cancer. The study will also aim to assess the safety of TOL2506 in men with HR+, HER2-negative breast cancer. The Screening Period will be conducted in two parts: 1) an abbreviated, initial screening where premenopausal status will be determined prior to neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy (if planned) and 2) the full screening assessment conducted after neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy (or for subjects who enter the study without having received chemotherapy). Following the Screening Period, eligible subjects will enter into the 48 week Treatment Period in 1 of 2 groups: those who will receive tamoxifen concurrently with TOL2506 or those who will initiate therapy with an AI (letrozole, anastrozole, or exemestane) beginning 6 weeks after the first administration of TOL2506, upon confirmation that estradiol (E2) levels of \< 20 pg/mL (testosterone levels \< 50 ng/dL in males) have been achieved. After Week 12, subjects will be allowed to switch from receiving an AI to receiving tamoxifen or from tamoxifen to AI at the discretion of the Investigator. However, a switch is not permitted 28 days prior to a dosing visit (eg, Week 24, 36, and 48 where a pre-dose blood sample for PK and PD analysis will be drawn). At the end of the Treatment Period, upon completion of the End of Study Visit (Visit 9, Week 48) subjects may be eligible to participate in a Safety Extension Study under a separate Protocol.
The primary objective of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of a leuprolide acetate (LA) 45 mg 6-month depot formulation for the treatment of CPP in children who are either naïve to treatment with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) or who have been previously treated with a GnRHa.
This study determines the effectiveness of leuprolide acetate 45 mg for injectable suspension for treatment of children with Central Precocious Puberty.
The purpose of this study is to help determine if palifermin and leuprolide acetate can help the immune system recover faster following a stem cell transplant. Blood stem cells are very young blood cells that grow in the body to become red or white blood cells or platelets. The transplant uses stem cells in the blood from another person. The donor can be a family member or a volunteer donor. This is called an allogeneic stem cell transplant. The investigators want to see if palifermin and leuprolide acetate can help the immune system recover faster after an allogenic transplant because experiments have shown they may be able to do this.
Some patients with prostate cancer benefit from androgen deprivation therapy which reduces levels of testosterone. Leuprolide is a synthetic Luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) analogue which upon administration can decrease testosterone levels to ≤0.5 ng/mL. Leuprolide Acetate 22.5 mg Depot is a microencapsulated formulation of leuprolide which is released slowly over time and effectively reduces testosterone levels in many patients to ≤0.5 ng/mL for up to three months. In this study Leuprolide acetate 22.5 mg Depot will be administered by intramuscular injection twice over a period of 6 months. The proportion of patients with testosterone ≤0.5 ng/mL evaluated over a period of 168 days.
This randomized phase I/II trial studies giving leuprolide acetate or goserelin acetate together with or without vismodegib followed by surgery to see how well they work in treating patients with prostate cancer that has spread from where it started to nearby tissue or lymph nodes. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Antihormone therapy, such as leuprolide acetate or goserelin acetate, may lessen the amount of androgens made by the body. Vismodegib may slow the growth of tumor cells. Giving antihormone therapy together with vismodegib may be an effective treatment for prostate cancer.
This randomized phase II trial is studying bicalutamide, goserelin, or leuprolide acetate to see how well they work when given with or without cixutumumab in treating patients with newly diagnosed metastatic prostate cancer. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Antihormone therapy, such as bicalutamide, goserelin, or leuprolide acetate, may lessen the amount of androgens made by the body. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cixutumumab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. It is not yet known whether bicalutamide, goserelin, or leuprolide acetate are more effective when given with or without cixutumumab in treating prostate cancer.
This randomized phase II trial studies the side effects and how well giving leuprolide acetate or goserelin acetate works compared to observation in treating patients with high-risk prostate cancer who have undergone radical prostatectomy. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Antihormone therapy, such as goserelin acetate and leuprolide acetate, may lessen the amount of androgens made by the body and thus control prostate cancer growth. Many times, after surgery, the tumor may not need more treatment until it progresses. In this case, observation may be sufficient. However, in some prostate cancers there is a chance that tumors can re-grow despite surgery based on certain high risk features.
The purpose of this extension study is to determine if leuprolide acetate (11.25 mg and 30 mg) is safe in treating children with Central Precocious Puberty over a longer period of time (36 months).
This is a multi-center, open-label study of 2 doses of leuprolide acetate 17 mg depot, administered three months apart, in subjects with prostate cancer who might benefit from medical androgen deprivation therapy
The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of Leuprolide Acetate for Injectable Suspension 22.5 mg in reducing serum testosterone to castrate levels in patients with prostate cancer.
This randomized phase II trial is studying how well pazopanib hydrochloride works after leuprolide or goserelin in treating patients with relapsed prostate cancer. Pazopanib hydrochloride may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth and by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Antihormone therapy, such as leuprolide acetate or goserelin acetate, may lessen the amount of androgens made by the body. Giving pazopanib after leuprolide or goserelin may be an effective treatment for prostate cancer
The purpose of this study is to look at the efficacy and safety of leuprolide acetate in patients with prostate cancer.
The primary purpose of the study is to determine if a new sustained-release 45 mg (depot) formulation of leuprolide acetate will reduce serum testosterone levels to and maintain them at medically castrate levels in subjects with prostatic adenocarcinoma.
This study is being conducted to assess the safety and tolerability of relugolix with other agents approved for use in combination with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for a 12-week treatment period and an additional 40-week safety extension period in men with prostate cancer, either metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) or non-metastatic or metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC or mCRPC).
The purpose of this clinical trial is to learn about the safety and effects of study medicine (PF-06873600) when taken alone or with hormone therapy by people with cancer. People may be able to participate in this study if they have the following types of cancer: Hormone Receptor positive (HR+) breast cancer; Human Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor 2 (HER2)-negative breast cancer that is advanced or metastatic (spread to other parts of the body); triple negative breast cancer; epithelial ovarian cancer; fallopian tube cancer; or primary peritoneal cancer. All participants in this study will receive the study medicine by mouth, 1 to 2 times a day at home. The dose of the study medicine may be changed during the study. Some participants will also receive hormone therapy. The hormone therapy will be either letrozole by mouth once a day at home, or fulvestrant as a shot into the muscle. Fulvestrant will be given every two weeks at the study clinic for the first month, and then once a month after that. Participants will take part in this study for at least 7 to 8 months, depending on how they respond to the therapy. During this time participants will visit the study clinic once a week for the first 2 cycles and every cycle thereafter.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if ipilimumab in combination with either Lupron® (leuprolide), Zoladex® (goserelin), or Firmagon® (degarelix) can affect prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in patients with prostate cancer. Researchers also want to learn if these drug combinations affect the body's immune system. The safety of these drug combinations will also be studied.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn how ipilimumab in combination with Lupron (leuprolide acetate) affects the body's own defense (immune) system before having surgery to remove prostate cancer. The safety of the drug combination will also be studied.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy of abiraterone acetate plus leuprolide acetate and prednisone, versus leuprolide acetate alone in male participants with prostate cancer (a disease in which cells in the prostate gland become abnormal and start to grow uncontrollably, forming tumors) who are suitable candidates for prostatectomy (surgery to remove all or part of the prostate gland).
The goal of this clinical research study is to create a registry (research database) of clinical data about patients who receive radiation therapy, with or without hormone therapy, to treat prostate cancer that has come back after surgical removal of the prostate. This treatment is standard and the actual treatment is not part of this protocol. The goal of this clinical research study is to create a registry (research database) of clinical data about patients who receive radiation therapy, with or without hormone therapy, to treat prostate cancer that has come back after surgical removal of the prostate. This treatment is standard and the actual treatment is not part of this protocol. Researchers want to collect data and use this registry to learn about the long-term status of prostate cancer after these treatments. This is an investigational study. Up to 500 patients will take part in this study. All will be enrolled at MD Anderson, Spartanburg Regional Healthcare System, and/or MD Anderson Cancer Center Albuquerque. Researchers want to collect data and use this registry to learn about the long-term status of prostate cancer after these treatments.
The purpose of this study is to determine if Lupron (leuprolide acetate) is safe and effective in treating children with Central Precocious Puberty (CPP), and to assess long term effects of leuprolide acetate treatment after therapy is discontinued.
The purpose of this study is to determine if 11.25 and 30 mg formulations of leuprolide are effective in treating children with Central Precocious Puberty (CPP).
To assess the efficacy and safety of 2 new formulations of leuprolide acetate 45 mg 6-month depot, Formulation A or Formulation B, for the treatment of patients with prostate cancer. A formulation will be deemed successful if the percentage of subjects with suppression of testosterone to \<= 50 ng/dL from Week 4 to Week 48 is not less than 87%, (the lower bound of the 2-sided 90% confidence interval), a protocol-specified criterion.
Primary Objectives: * To determine the effectiveness of the 3-month depot leuprolide in inducing and maintaining secondary amenorrhea in patients undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. * To determine the incidence of regained ovarian function manifested as spontaneous restoration of menstruation and normalization of hormonal level in patients after transplantation and discontinuation of long-acting leuprolide.
This study compared cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy with leuprolide acetate (LA) to cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy with saline injections for 12 months. Five white male pedophiles (M age, 50 years; range, 36-58) volunteered for a two-year study. LA was administered by Depo injection (7 mg initially, then 22.5 mg every 3 mos) for 12 months, followed by saline placebo. Effects of LA on testosterone levels, sexual interest preference by visual reaction time (Abel Assessment), penile tumescence (Monarch PPG), as well strong urges and masturbatory frequency to children (polygraph), were measured every three months. Subjects were treated with weekly cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy. On LA, testosterone decreased to castrate levels. Because of the suppression of testosterone, physiologic arousal response as measured by penile plethysmography (penile tumescence) was significantly suppressed compared with baseline. However, sufficient response remained to detect pedophilic interest. This pedophilic interest was also detected by visual reaction times. All subjects self-reported a decrease in strong pedophilic urges and masturbation. When asked about having pedophilic urges and masturbating to thoughts of children, polygraph responses indicated subjects were not deceptive when they reported decreases. On placebo, testosterone and physiologic arousal eventually rose to baseline levels. At baseline and on placebo, subjects were consistently deceptive regarding increased pedophilic urges and masturbatory frequency as noted by polygraph. Interest preference, as measured by Abel Assessment and Monarch PPG, was generally unchanged throughout the study. Cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy augmented with LA significantly reduced pedophilic fantasies, urges, and masturbation, but did not change pedophilic interest during one year of therapy. Deceptive responses by polygraph suggested that self-report was unreliable. Follow-up utilizing objective measures is essential for monitoring efficacy of treatment in pedophilia. Our study supports the supposition that modification of pedophilic behavior is possible. LA may augment cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy and help break the sequence leading to a reoffense.
There is evidence that suggests male sex hormones (androgens) play a significant role in brain (central nervous system) functioning. In studies conducted with animals, researchers have documented that male sex hormones (androgens) are associated with neurotransmitter (serotonin) function, sexual behavior, aggression, and other non-reproductive behavior. Similar findings have been seen in studies involving humans. Androgens are thought to be involved in some neurologic conditions. Tourette's syndrome which is seen more often in males than females has caused researchers to look more closely at the effects of androgens on the brain. This study is designed to examine the effects of testosterone on brain (CNS) activity by first stopping testosterone release and then replacing it. Researchers will evaluate mood, behavior, cognitive (mental) function, physiologic response to serotonergic agonists and regional cerebral blood flow (r-CBF). This study will attempt to answer the following questions; 1. Is a person's mental functioning a result of being male or female (gender) or a result of the hormonal condition 3. Does the decrease of blood flow (r-CBF) to specific areas of the brain (prefrontal cortex) in women whose ovaries are not releasing hormones (hypogonadal state) also occur in men 4. Will the mental rotation task better identify hormone (gonadal steroid) differences in r-CBF 5. Do hormones directly influence the responsiveness of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis 6. Does the hormonal state of a patient directly affect levels of chemicals and steroids in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
The purpose of this study is to establish the maximum tolerable dose of niraparib when combined with prostate stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT), abiraterone, leuprolide, and prednisone (the phase 1 portion of the study) and determine 3-year biochemical PSA recurrence free-survival with this treatment approach (the phase 2 portion of the study).
The purpose of this study is to learn about how an investigational drug intervention completed before doing prostate surgery (specifically, radical prostatectomy with lymph node dissection) may help in treatment of high risk localized prostate cancers that are most resistant to standard treatments. This is a phase II research study. For this study, capivasertib, the study drug, will be taken with intensified androgen deprivation drugs (iADT; abiraterone and leuprolide) prior to radical prostatectomy. This study drug treatment will be evaluated to see if it is effective in shrinking and destroying prostate cancer tumors prior to surgery and to further evaluate its safety prior to prostate cancer surgery.
