28 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
Primary objective was to demonstrate overall survival improvement with aflibercept compared to placebo in patients receiving docetaxel / prednisone for metastatic androgen-independent prostate cancer (MAIPC). The secondary objectives were: * To assess the efficacy of aflibercept compared to placebo on other parameters such prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level, cancer related pain, progression free survival (PFS), tumor-based and skeletal events and health-related quality of life (HRQL); * To assess the overall safety in both treatment arms; * To determine the pharmacokinetics of intravenous (IV) aflibercept in this population; * to determine immunogenicity of IV aflibercept.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and optimal dose of RAD001 and docetaxel plus prednisone in men with hormone refractory, metastatic prostate cancer (Phase I). Once an appropriate dose is reached, the purpose then will be to determine the response rate of docetaxel plus RAD001 (Phase II).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether treatment with a new drug called ZK-Epothilone (ZK-Epo) given with prednisone in patients with androgen-independent prostate cancer, who have not had previous chemotherapy, is safe and helps to decrease PSA (Prostate-specific antigen) levels.
BAY 43-9006 (Sorafenib) is an experimental cancer drug produced by Bayer Health Care Corporation. It represents a new class of anticancer agents known as bi-aryl ureas. This study will investigate its effect on prostate cancer and its side effects. Researchers expect to enroll a maximum of 46 men with prostate cancer for this study. The duration of the study will depend on its results. Before beginning to take the drug, patients will be admitted to the hospital for 2 days, have a medical examination and give blood samples, and have a tumor or bone marrow biopsy. On the first day of the study, patients will begin taking the drug as 2 tablets twice daily, morning and evening. Blood will be taken throughout the day to determine the drug's level in the bloodstream. Patients will be discharged from the hospital on the second day, and will continue to take the drug twice daily until instructed to stop. During each of the first 4 weeks, patients will be required to have their blood pressure checked. At the end of the first 4 weeks, patients will have a physical examination and blood tests, as well as a second tumor or bone marrow biopsy. After the first 4 weeks, patients will continue with their drug regimen. At the end of each 4-week cycle, patients will have a physical examination and blood tests. Patients will also have x-Rays, computed tomography (CT) scans, and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRIs) at every other 4-week examination or as required. Patients will be asked to keep a diary recording the time and amount of their medication for this study.
The primary objectives of this study are: 1. To explore the antitumor activity of MEDI-522 in combination with docetaxel, prednisone, and zoledronic acid in patients with metastatic Androgen-Independent Prostate Cancer (AIPC); and 2. To summarize the safety of MEDI-522 in combination with docetaxel, prednisone, and zoledronic acid in this patient population.
The purpose of the study is to determine the highest dose of MLN2704 that can be given multiple times safely to patients with prostate cancer, and to identify any side effects associated with taking the drug. This study will also evaluate how MLN2704 is taken up, broken down and eliminated by the body.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy such as perifosine use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of perifosine in treating patients who have prostate cancer that no longer responds to androgen ablation therapy.
This is the first study of MLN2704 administered to humans. The purpose of the study is to determine the highest dose of MLN2704 that can be given safely to patients with prostate cancer, and to identify any side effects associated with taking the drug. This study will also evaluate how MLN2704 is taken up (absorbed), broken down (metabolized) and eliminated (excreted) by the body. This process is called pharmacokinetic analysis.
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest safe dose of docetaxel in combination with Gleevec (imatinib mesylate) that can be given to men with advanced androgen-independent metastatic prostate cancer that involves bone. Docetaxel is a commercial chemotherapy which interferes with the cancer cell ability to divide and grow.
This is an open label, Phase 2 trial of APC8015F immunotherapy in men with objective disease progression on protocol D9902 part B (NCT00065442)
Prostate cancer is a common and important health issue. Although effective treatment is often available for localized disease, metastatic prostate cancer remains incurable. The initial treatment for metastatic prostate cancer often includes medical or surgical treatments that deprive the tumor of male hormones (androgens) required for growth. Although this treatment is successful for many patients, the cancer may eventually return in others. Recurrent prostate cancer may be treated with additional hormonal agents, but these agents usually do not result in long-term control of the disease. Eventually most patients with recurrent prostate cancer progress to a state where the cancer grows despite very low level of circulating male hormones known as androgen independent prostate cancer (AIPC).
RATIONALE: Radiolabeled monoclonal antibodies can locate tumor cells and either kill them or deliver radioactive tumor-killing substances to them without harming normal cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well radiolabeled monoclonal antibody works in treating patients with progressive metastatic androgen-independent adenocarcinoma (cancer) of the prostate.
This is a clinical trial of orally administered Ruxolitinib (INCB018424) in patients whose disease has progressed following 1 prior chemotherapy regimen (not including anti-androgens or ketoconazole) for metastatic, androgen-independent prostate cancer.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of TAK-700 in patients with asymptomatic metastatic, androgen independent prostate cancer.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy such as docetaxel work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth. Giving docetaxel with imatinib mesylate may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving docetaxel with imatinib mesylate works in treating patients with androgen-independent prostate cancer and bone metastases that progressed while receiving docetaxel and a placebo on clinical trial MDA-ID-030008.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as doxorubicin, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Strontium-89 may relieve bone pain caused by prostate cancer. Celecoxib may stop the growth of cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor and by blocking the enzymes necessary for tumor cell growth. Combining doxorubicin and strontium-89 with celecoxib may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying celecoxib together with doxorubicin and strontium-89 to see how well they work compared to doxorubicin and strontium-89 alone in treating patients with progressive androgen-independent prostate cancer and bone metastases.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Imatinib mesylate may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking the enzymes necessary for their growth. Combining docetaxel with imatinib mesylate may be effective treatment for androgen-independent prostate cancer and bone metastases. PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying docetaxel and imatinib mesylate to see how well they work compared to docetaxel alone in treating patients with androgen-independent prostate cancer and bone metastases.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the amount of time before disease progression can be prolonged in participants with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (MCRPC) who receive lorigerlimab in addition to the standard of care (SOC) of docetaxel and prednisone. About 150 participants with mCRPC will be enrolled. Participants will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive lorigerlimab with docetaxel and prednisone (experimental arm) or docetaxel and prednisone alone (standard-of-care arm). Lorigerlimab+docetaxel or docetaxel will be administered intravenously (IV) in clinic on Day 1 of each 3-week cycle. Prednisone will be administered orally twice daily. Lorigerlimab will be administered for up to 35 cycles. Docetaxel and prednisone will be administered up to 10 cycles until treatment discontinuation criteria are met. Participants will undergo regular testing for signs of disease progression using computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood tests. Participants will be asked to complete questionnaires about their health and well-being. Routine examinations and blood tests will be performed and evaluated by the study doctor. Participants who have disease progression standard-of-care arm have the option of continuing on the study to receive lorigerlimab monotherapy.
Study CP-MGC018-03 is an open-label, two-part, Phase 2 study. Part 1 of the study will enroll participants with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) previously treated with one prior androgen receptor axis-targeted therapy (ARAT). ARAT includes abiraterone, enzalutamide, or apalutamide. Participants may have received up to 1 prior docetaxel-containing regimen, but no other chemotherapy agents. This part of the study will assess the efficacy and tolerability of vobramitamab duocarmazine (MGC018) in two experimental arms (2.0 mg/kg every 4 weeks \[Q4W\] and 2.7 mg/kg Q4W) . Approximately 100 participants will be randomized 1:1. Part 2 of the study will enroll participants with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. Participants must have progressive following at least 1 prior line of standard chemotherapy for advanced or metastatic disease. Participants will receive vobramitamab duocarmazine at a dose of 2.7 mg/kg every 4 weeks. Up to 200 participants may be enrolled in Part 2. In both parts, vobramitamab duocarmazine will be administered intravenously (IV) in clinic on Day 1 of each 4-week cycle. Vobramitamab duocarmazine will be administered until criteria for treatment discontinuation are met. Participants will undergo regular testing for signs of disease progression using computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), bone scans, and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood tests. Routine examinations and blood tests will be performed and evaluated by the study doctor.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of concurrent versus sequential administration of abiraterone acetate plus prednisone on the ability to manufacture sipuleucel-T (by assessing sipuleucel-T product parameters), and to assess the safety and efficacy of sipuleucel-T with concurrent or sequential administration of abiraterone acetate plus prednisone in men with metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer.
This is a Multicenter, Open Label, Phase 2 Study of Sipuleucel-T in Men with Metastatic Castrate Resistant Prostate Cancer (CRPC).
The main purpose of this study is to look at the effects (good or bad) that Atrasentan given alone and Atrasentan given with Zometa has on levels of bone formation and bone destruction in men with prostate cancer that has spread to the bones.
The purpose of this study is to determine if patients who take YM598 in addition to mitoxantrone and prednisone (standard therapy) experience improvement in the pain associated with prostate cancer metastases in the bone.
The three study drugs (Thalidomide, Taxol, and Estramustine) used in this study are all chemotherapy drugs used in shrinking the cancer.
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel and estramustine, work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Thalidomide may stop the growth of prostate cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor. Giving chemotherapy together with thalidomide may kill more tumor cells. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving docetaxel and estramustine together with thalidomide works in treating patients with androgen-independent metastatic adenocarcinoma (cancer) of the prostate.
This is an open label study designed to examine the effects on concurrent administration of Radium Ra 223 dichloride and Abiraterone Acetate plus Prednisone in subjects with symptomatic castrate resistant prostate cancer and with bone metastases, in both the pre- and post- chemotherapy setting. Both medications are approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for this indication.
Provenge is an investigational product designed to activate a man's own antigen presenting cells, a type of immune cell, so that they can detect prostate cancer cells and initiate an immune response against them. Having completed Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials, Provenge is now at the Phase 3 level. One important Phase 3 trial of Provenge has been completed; the current trial is also a Phase 3 study. If you decide to participate and are eligible, you will be enrolled in the study and randomly assigned to receive either active product or placebo. There are two chances in three that you will receive Provenge. After receiving treatment, you will be monitored at regular intervals until the study endpoints are met. At the end of the trial, men who received placebo will have the opportunity to be treated with active product in another study.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the intra-tumoral injection of a subject's own dendritic cells after cryotherapy of the prostate is a safe and effective treatment for advanced prostate cancer. In theory, the injected dendritic cells will internalize antigens from the tumor cells which have been damaged by cryotherapy and activate the subject's immune system against that specific tumor. Subjects will also receive a low dose chemotherapy designed to lower the number of T-regulatory cells which have been shown to lower or stop some immune system responses. Hypothesis 1: Dendritic cell injection into cryotreated prostate cancer is non-toxic; Hypothesis 2: Dendritic cell injection into cryotreated prostate cancer is medically beneficial to the subject.
