This is a dose-finding study to assess the safety and preliminary antitumor activity of Pocenbrodib alone or with Abiraterone acetate, Olaparib or 177Lu-PSMA-617 in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostrate cancer (mCRPC).
This a single-center, prospective, exploratory study. Patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) scheduled to undergo Lutetium labelled prostate-specific membrane antigen radioligand therapy (LuPSMA RLT) at the West Los Angeles VA (WLA-VA) will be imaged with a baseline F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography 18F-FDG PET/CT and a 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT (18F-DCFPyL (2-(3-{1-carboxy-5-\[(6-18F-fluoro-pyridine-3-carbonyl)-amino\]-pentyl}-ureido)-pentanedioic acid)positron emission tomography/computed tomography , as per standard of care in our institution. All patients further undergo eventual follow-up prostate-specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography (PSMA PET) after the 2nd, 4th, and 6th LuPSMA RLT cycle. In this prospective study, an18F-Fluciclovine positron emission tomography/computed tomography ( Axumin PET/CT )will be additionally obtained at baseline (pre-LuPSMA RLT), and after the 2nd, 4th, 6th LuPSMA RLT cycles. Axumin PET/CT will be acquired within 7 days from the PSMA PET. This study is open to Veterans only.
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 evaluates the use of NanoPac injected directly into the prostate lesion in men with prostate cancer.
The purpose of this study is to look at the effects of a 10-week stress management in-person group program. The program will study emotions, stress, and stress management techniques (such as relaxation and coping techniques) on quality of life, distress, depression, and physical health in Spanish- speaking, Hispanic/Latino men diagnosed with Prostate Cancer (PC).
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.
This is an open label, multi-institutional, single arm phase II trial of pembrolizumab in patients with incurable platinum refractory germ cell tumors. No randomization or blinding is involved.
This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, multi-center, non-randomized, dose-escalation study to be conducted in two parts: the Dose Escalation Phase and the Dose Expansion Phase. The Dose Escalation Phase will determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose(s) (RP2D) of PT-112 Injection and evaluate its safety and tolerability, and PK (pharmacokinetics). The Dose Escalation Phase is complete and no longer enrolling. The Dose Expansion Phase has two cohorts: one cohort for the study of PT-112 in patients with thymoma and thymic carcinoma (Cohort A), and one cohort for the study of PT-112 in metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) (Cohort D).
The purpose of this study is to collect additional safety information on abiraterone acetate administered with prednisone to patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).
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.
A Phase 1/2 study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ARV-766 given by mouth alone or in combination with abiraterone in men with metastatic prostate cancer.
Multi-center, prospective, randomized controlled clinical trial that will compare two treatment methods (PGA with TOOKAD® VTP and Active Surveillance) for treating localized prostate cancer. The study will include criteria for evaluation, biopsy, eligibility, informed consent, subsequent management and decision making conducted based on data provided locally at each center that follow a set of standardized criteria.
This Phase 1/2 study is intended to investigate the safety, tolerability, and radiation dosimetry of 177Lu-PSMA-R2 and further assess preliminary efficacy data in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). The Phase 1 portion of the study will determine the recommended dose of 177Lu-PSMA-R2 for radio-ligand therapy (RLT) of mCRPC, and the Phase 2 portion will expand into approximately 60 patients documenting the preliminary activity (anti-tumor response) of repeated treatments administered, continuing safety assessments and collecting QoL data.
This was an open-label, multicenter, single dose, Phase I/II study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single administration of 3 mega Becquerel (MBq)/kg, but not less than 150 MBq and not more than 250 MBq, of 68\^Ga-PSMA-R2 in adult male patients with biochemical relapse (BR) and metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa).
Open-label, dose rising, Phase IIa trial of intratumorally-injected NanoPac® 6, 10, or 15 mg/mL in subjects with prostate cancer scheduled for prostatectomy.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether daily treatment with apalutamide affects the ventricular repolarization in participants with Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC)
The purpose of this study is to evaluate a short course (five radiation treatments) of very focused ("stereotactic") external beam radiation therapy for the treatment of early stage prostate cancer.
The main purpose of this study was to determine whether ADT started before or after sipuleucel-T led to a better immune system response. This study also evaluated the safety of sipuleucel-T and ADT treatment, immune system responses over time, the characteristics of sipuleucel-T, and changes in prostate specific antigen (PSA) values over time.
The aim of this study is to determine the optimal treatment conditions (WST11 dose and light energy dose) to achieve ablation in one lobe of the prostate and to evaluate the safety and quality of life of WST11 medicated Vascular-Targeted Photodynamic therapy (VTP) in men with localized prostate cancer.
During penile prosthesis surgery, patients are given general anesthesia in combination with other pain drugs. A caudal nerve block (CNB) is a local anesthetic injected near the tailbone, in addition to general anesthesia, which can lower the need for pain drugs. The goal of this clinical research study is to learn how effective CNBs are in patients who are having penile prosthesis surgery compared to patients who only have general anesthesia by studying how long you stay in the hospital and the level of pain you have after surgery. This is an investigational study. The general anesthesia and CNB used in this study are FDA approved and commercially available. It is considered investigational to compare the effectiveness of CNBs in penile prosthesis surgery to general anesthesia alone. The study doctor can explain how the study drugs are designed to work. Up to 104 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.
Some tumors are difficult to treat with chemotherapy or radiation. One of the reasons is that areas of the tumor do not have many blood vessels, which makes it difficult for drugs to reach those areas. One way that researchers have recently tried to overcome this problem is by injecting special kinds of bacteria into the tumors. These bacteria have been genetically changed to remove the chemicals that are poisonous to humans, but are still able to cause tumor cells to break down and die. The idea is that these bacteria may be able to assist chemotherapy drugs in fighting cancer. The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of one of these bacterial therapies (Clostridium novyi-NT spores) that can be given in combination with pembrolizumab to patients with advanced solid tumors. The safety of this drug will also be studied, as well as whether it can help to control the disease. This is an investigational study. Clostridium novyi-NT is not FDA approved or commercially available. It is currently being used for research purposes only. Pembrolizumab is FDA approved for the treatment of melanoma and different types of head and neck and non-small cell lung cancers. It is investigational to use these drugs in combination with each other in various types of advanced cancers. The study doctor can describe how the study drugs are designed to work. Up to 18 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.
Insufflation pressure (IP) is the creation of a pressure barrier of air/gas within the abdomen to allow the surgeon more space to work during abdominal surgery. Shoulder pain is a common complaint from patients who have had abdominal surgery and the pain is thought to be related to the use of IP. In addition to anesthesia (which keeps you asleep during surgery), the current standard practice is to block the nerve-muscle junction with a type of drug called neuromuscular blockade (NMB) which paralyzes the abdominal muscles. This means that a lower level of insufflation pressure is needed by the surgeon. To reverse the effects of NMB after surgery, a drug called neostigmine is given. The goal of this clinical research study is to compare the use of standard-of-care moderate NMB and neostigmine to the use of deep NMB and a drug called Sugammadex when given to elderly patients (patients who are 65 years of age or older) who are scheduled to have robotic abdominal surgery. "Deep" and "moderate" in this study refers to the dose or strength of the NMB given. This is an investigational study. Sugammadex and neostigmine are FDA approved and commercially available for the reversal of NMB. It is considered investigational to compare Sugammadex and neostigmine to learn if the use of one or the other in elderly patients can reduce the level of shoulder pain after surgery. Up to 100 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.
This study has 2 phases: Phase 1 (dose escalation) and Phase 2 (dose expansion). The goal of Phase 1 of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose combination of selumetinib and olaparib that can be given to patients who have solid tumors that are advanced or recurrent (has returned after treatment). The goal of Phase 2 is to learn if the highest tolerable dose combination found in Phase 1 can help to control advanced or recurrent solid tumors. The safety of the study drug combination will also be studied in both parts. This is an investigational study. Selumetinib is not FDA approved or commercially available. It is currently being used for research purposes only. Olaparib is FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of ovarian cancer that has a certain type of genetic mutation (change). It is considered investigational to use selumetinib in combination with olaparib to treat advanced or recurrent cancer. The study doctor can explain how the study drugs are designed to work. Up to 90 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.
Any time the words "you," "your," "I," or "me" appear, it is meant to apply to the potential participant. The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of gemcitabine that can be given by inhalation (breathing it as a mist) to patients with solid tumors that have spread to the lungs from other parts of the body. The safety and side effects of this drug will also be studied. This is an investigational study. Gemcitabine is FDA approved and commercially available for the treatment of pancreatic and lung cancer, and other solid tumors. Its administration by inhalation is investigational. The study doctor can explain how the study drug is designed to work. Up to 44 participants will be enrolled in this study. All will take part at MD Anderson.
This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, randomized, dose finding and dose expansion study to evaluate the safety, preliminary efficacy, and PK of gedatolisib in combination with darolutamide in subjects with mCRPC.
