525 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
A prospective, Phase 3, multi center, single-arm, imaging study investigating the safety and diagnostic performance of rhPSMA 7.3 (18F) Positron Emission Tomography (PET) ligand in men with suspected prostate cancer recurrence based on elevated Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) following prior therapy.
The purpose of this research study is to see if recurrent prostate cancer can be identified using a special procedure called a positron emission tomography (PET) scan. PET/CT is used to describe information regarding the function, as well as location and size of a tumor.
The purpose of this Phase I/II study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of up to 5 study drugs used together for the treatment of solid tumor cancers. The drugs are hydroxychloroquine, metformin, sirolimus, dasatinib and nelfinavir and are given orally.
This is an open label trial to assess the efficacy of MBM-02 (Tempol) as a treatment for patients diagnosed with prostate cancer in biochemical recurrence.
The purpose of this phase I/Ib study is to determine the safety profile of Epidiolex (CBD oil) in biochemically recurrent prostate cancer patients. The study consists of a dose escalation part and dose expansion part. The dose expansion part of the study will use the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) determined in the dose escalation part to assess the activity, safety and tolerability of the investigational product in patients with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer after localized therapy with either surgery or radiation.
This Phase II trial will enroll approximately 180 adult male patients with an earlier histologic diagnosis of prostatic adenocarcinoma and a biochemical recurrence (BCR) within 3 years of radical prostatectomy (RP) or definitive RT and no distant metastasis or locoregional recurrence. The trial is a randomized placebo-controlled double-blind study of a peptide cancer vaccine (RV001V).
Treatment of recurrent oligometastatic prostate cancer may be enhanced by the addition of Hydroxychloroquine to the current treatment regimens. Potential benefits of Hydroxychloroquine include delayed disease progression and delayed initiation of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), thus lessening morbidity, distressing side effects, and improving functioning and quality of life in men with recurrent prostate cancer. Building on prior research at Markey, patients recently diagnosed with recurrent oligometastatic prostate cancer will be approached about participating in this study. Per standard of care, these patients undergo either surgery or radiation, in addition participants of this clinical trial will also receive Hydroxychloroquine (400 mg per day, oral medication) for 3 months. It is expected that a participant will exhibit a 50% increase of tumor suppressor PAR-4, as well as few, if any, negative side effects from Hydroxychloroquine.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of combining high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy with external beam radiotherapy (EBRT) to the pelvis and 6 months of hormonal therapy, otherwise known as short term androgen deprivation therapy (STAD), as treatment for prostate cancer that has come back in the prostate and pelvic lymph nodes after prior radiotherapy. The study will examine the side effects of the treatment as well as the ability of the treatment to get rid of the cancer. This involves the placement of a radioactive material in the affected area of the prostate temporarily, and then is subsequently removed using a minimally invasive technique. Participants will also receive external radiation for 5 weeks targeting the pelvis and giving a higher dose each day to the suspicious lymph nodes on PET scan. Radiation therapy will start approximately 2 months after the start of the Androgen Deprivation Therapy (hormone therapy). The hormone therapy consists of two medications, an oral medication taken daily 2 months before starting radiation therapy until the last of the radiation therapy and an injection of a medication which is given 2 months prior to the start of radiation. Patient are then followed at specific time intervals to evaluate the treatment side effects and cancer control
Initial performance of Ga-68-P16-093 in prostate cancer patients including dosimetry and preliminary efficacy evaluation in BCR patients, and correlation of Ga-68-P16-093 uptake with tissue histopathology in intermediate to high risk primary prostate cancer patients.
This is a single-center, randomized, open-label study to assess the feasibility of a low-protein diet intervention in patients with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) who are receiving treatment with sipuleucel-T. Subjects will be randomized (1:1 ratio) to either Arm 1 or Arm 2 (Fig. 1). Arm 1: Subjects randomized to Arm 1 will be treated with sipuleucel-T infusion on Day 1, every two weeks for a total of three infusions. Subjects on this arm will receive a control diet containing 20% protein. Arm 2: Subjects randomized to Arm 2 will be treated with sipuleucel-T infusion on Day 1, every two weeks for a total of three infusions. Subjects on this arm will receive a low-protein diet containing 10% protein. Patients with metastatic, asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic CRPC that has progressed despite androgen deprivation therapy will be eligible for the study. After informed consent eligible patients will be scheduled to receive sipuleucel-T (three infusions two weeks apart) with normal-protein diet vs. low-protein diet. Each cycle will be every 14 days. Diet intervention will commence 1 week prior to the first apheresis (Day -7) and will continue until 10 days after the last infusion of sipuleucel-T (Day +42) (Fig. 2).
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.
The purpose of this protocol is to provide 68Ga Prostate Specific Membrane Antigen-11 (68Ga PSMA-11) for clinical use in the diagnosis, staging and restaging of prostate cancer using Positron Emission Tomography with Computed Tomography (PET/CT) prior to its full local Federal Drug Administration (FDA) approval. Extensive research has shown that 68Ga PSMA-11 PET/CT offers higher detection rate of metastatic disease in prostate cancer than the current standard of care usually used in staging and restaging prostate cancer.
This study evaluates the diagnostic performance and safety of \[18F\]PSMA-1007 PET/CT imaging in patients with suspected recurrence of prostate cancer after previous definitive treatment.
This study provides expanded access to radiotracer Gallium 68 (68Ga)-prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-HBED-CC (68Ga-PSMA-11) with Positron Emission Tomography (PET) imaging for participants with intermediate and high risk prostate cancer before prostatectomy or for suspected biochemical recurrence of their prostate cancer. Compared to conventional imaging, 68Ga PSMA-HBED-CC might improve the ability to localize the sites of recurrent or metastatic disease, which helps with surgical and other treatment planning.
This study evaluates the diagnostic performance and safety of 18F-DCFPyL (PyL) PET/CT imaging in patients with suspected recurrence of prostate cancer who have negative or equivocal findings on conventional imaging.
This study evaluates the value of Gallium-68 labeled PSMA (68Ga-PSMA) for PET/CT imaging of prostate cancer recurrence. 68Ga-PSMA is a radioactive molecule, which binds to prostate cancer cells. Together with a PET/CT scanner, the distribution of 68Ga-PSMA can be determined in the body. To test this new drug, participants will receive an intravenous injection of Ga-68-PSMA and then have a PET/CT scan. The scan results will be made available to study participants and treating physicians.
This study investigates if a new prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) drug makes prostate cancer easier to identify in positron-emission tomography (PET) imaging. If this works, prostate cancer treatments can be prescribed that match the location of the disease. PSMA is radiolabeled with Gallium-68 (Ga-68). This means a participant receives a small dose of radiation from the drug - less than the annual radiation limit for a medical worker. To test this new drug, participants will receive an injection of Ga-68 PSMA and then have a PET scan. This PET scan, and the reported results, will be entered into the medical record and shared with the treating oncologists.
This is a Phase II clinical study to determine if Metformin can increase Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) doubling time for patients with Prostate Cancer who have failed primary treatment with radiation, or surgical patients that are at high risk for recurrence based on surgical pathology. Men with confirmed prostate cancer and rising serum PSA levels will receive Metformin and will be monitored for PSA response and disease progression.
To provide a systemic, uniform and user-friendly tool for collection of data on prostate cancer salvage cryotherapy in a multicenter setting. The goal is to learn more about the short and long term efficacy and safety of this procedure. Ultimately the data analysis will serve as a robust guidance instrument for improving upon the utilization of this procedure for the treatment of patients with recurrent (LRD) prostate cancer.
Primary Outcome Measures: Decrease in rate of serum PSA rise Secondary Outcome Measures: Adherence to treatment regimens Quality of life as assessed by FACT-P at baseline and at 12 months of treatment Modulation of serum testosterone,isoflavone metabolites, and cholesterol Estimated Enrollment: 27 Study Start Date: November 2003 Estimated Primary Completion Date: February 2007 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
This phase II trial evaluates an imaging technique (rhPSMA-7.3 positron emission tomography \[PET\]/computed tomography \[CT\]) for detecting prostate cancer in patients who have increasing prostate-specific antigen levels following prior treatment (biochemical recurrence) but who were prostate specific membrane antigen negative on their most recent PET scan. Contrast agents like rhPSMA-7.3 (also called POSLUMA) circulate in the blood until they find their intended target. Once they are taken up by the target tumor cells, they can be visualized using PET/CT cameras. A PET scan is a procedure in which a small amount of radioactive tracer (in this case rhPSMA-7.3) is injected into a vein, and a scanner is used to make detailed, computerized pictures of areas inside the body where the tracer is taken up. Because tumor cells often take up more tracer than normal cells, the pictures can be used to find tumor cells in the body. A CT scan is a procedure that uses a computer linked to an x-ray machine to make a series of detailed pictures of areas inside the body. The pictures are taken from different angles and are used to create 3-dimensional views of tissues and organs. Combining a PET scan with a CT scan can help make the image easier to interpret. PET/CT scans are hybrid scanners that combine both modalities into a single scan during the same examination. The researchers want to determine whether the rhPSMA7.3 PET/CT scan is useful for detecting biochemically recurrent prostate cancer in patients who were negative on prior non-POSLUMA PET imaging.
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects and best dose of radioligand therapy (lutetium Lu 177 PSMA-10.1 \[177Lu-rhPSMA-10.1\]) after prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) positron emission tomography (PET)-guided external beam radiotherapy in treating post-prostatectomy patients with prostate cancer that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). In this study, radioligand therapy is a radioactive drug called 177Lu-rhPSMA-10.1. It works by binding to PSMA-expressing prostate tumor cells and delivering the radioactive portion of the drug directly to the tumor cells while not harming normal cells. Radiation therapy such as external beam radiotherapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving radioligand therapy with PSMA PET-guided external beam radiotherapy may kill more tumor cells in post-prostatectomy patients with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer.
Background: Prostate cancer may return after treatment in 30,000 to 50,000 people each year. There is no clear best way to treat these people. Better treatments are needed. Objective: To test a study drug (enzalutamide), both alone and combined with a second drug (PDS01ADC), in people with prostate cancer that returned after treatment. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with prostate cancer that returned after treatment. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam, with blood tests. All their urine will be collected for 24 hours. They will have imaging scans of their chest, abdomen, pelvis, and bones. Their ability to perform everyday activities will be assessed. They may opt to give a stool sample. Participants will be treated in 4-week cycles. Enzalutamide is a pill taken by mouth once a day, every day. All participants will be given a supply of this drug to take at home. PDS01ADC is injected under the skin once a month, on the first day of each cycle. Half of the participants will receive both drugs. All participants will visit the clinic once a month. Each visit should last no more than 8 hours. Blood and urine tests will be repeated. All participants will receive the study treatment for 3 cycles. Some participants may need 3 more cycles of treatment with enzalutamide only. This re-treatment can be done only once. Participants will have a follow-up visit 1 month after they finish treatment. After that, they will have visits every 6 weeks for up to 5 years. Imaging scans and blood tests will be repeated. ...
Clinical studies, with a dedicated focus on recurrent prostate cancer, play a pivotal role in evaluating the safety and effectiveness of novel treatments for this condition. These trials serve as essential tools to determine whether new medications outperform traditional therapies, providing substantial evidence to endorse their broader utilization. It will also try to analyze data from the perspective of different demographic groups to check for recurring trends which might yield insights for the sake of future patients with recurrent prostate cancer.
Background: Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in American men. The disease recurs in up to 50,000 men each year after their early-stage disease was treated; however, at this stage, imaging scans are often unable to find the disease in the body. In this natural history study, researchers want to find out if a new radiotracer (18F-DCFPyL) injected before positron emission tomography (PET) imaging can help identify sites in the body with cancer. Objective: To learn more about how 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT scans detect change over time in men with recurrent prostate cancer. Eligibility: Men aged 18 and older with prostate cancer that returned after treatment. Design: Participants will be screened with blood tests. They will also have a bone scan and a computed tomography (CT) scans of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. Participants will have an initial study visit. They will have a physical exam and blood tests. They will have a PET/CT scan with 18F-DCFPyL. The radiotracer will be injected into a vein; this will take about 20 seconds. The PET/CT scan will be done 1 to 2 hours later. Participants will lie still on a scanner table while a machine captures images of their body. The scan will take 45 minutes. Participants will return for blood tests every 3 months. Participants will return for additional scans with 18F-DCFPyL on this schedule: Once a year if their previous scan was negative for prostate cancer. Every 6 months if their previous scan was positive for prostate cancer. Participants may be in the study up to 5 years.
Primary Objective: - To evaluate the safety and tolerability of ADXS-504 and to determine the MTD (maximum tolerated dose) or RP2D (recommended phase two dose) Secondary Objectives: * To characterize the immunological activity of ADXS-504, administered as; and to characterize the genomic profiles of study subjects * To evaluate the effects of ADXS-504 on change in PSA * To evaluate time to PSA progression
This prospective pilot study will assess the feasibility of rh PSMA 7.3 positron emission tomography/magnetic resonance imaging (PET/MRI) scans in detecting prostate cancer that may have come back (recurrent) in patients with increasing levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) following prostate surgery (biochemically recurrent). An increase in PSA levels alone does not tell the doctor where the cancer may be or how much cancer there may be. Imaging tests, like a bone scan, MRI, and/or computed tomography, are often performed to help the doctor learn where or how much cancer there is, and how best to treat the cancer. rhPSMA-7.3 is a radioactive tracer agent that when used with PET/MRI imaging may help diagnose and look for the spread of prostate cancer. Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a protein that is expressed in prostate cancer and this agent targets the PSMA molecule. Giving rh PSMA 7.3 during PET/MRI may help doctors better find where the cancer may be spreading and how much of it there is. The results of this trial may also guide in radiotherapy planning.
This is a prospective, Phase 2, single-center, open-label study of 68Ga-PSMA-11 PET scans in patients with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer or those diagnosed and untreated with high risk or very high risk localized prostate cancer, or oligometastatic (defined as three or fewer metastatic lesions on conventional imaging) prostate cancer (using NCCN classification for localized disease). Approximately 300 patients are planned for enrollment in this study, divided into two cohorts. Cohort A will be 225 patients in the recurrent setting. Cohort B will be 75 patients in the up-front newly diagnosed setting. After a screening period (6-week window), eligible patients will undergo baseline assessments as per the Schedule of Study Activities. Patients will receive a single dose of 68Ga-PSMA-11 and undergo a PET/CT or PET/MRI imaging study.
The standard of care imaging of prostate cancer metastases recommended by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN), CT of the chest/abdomen/pelvis and bone scan, may be suboptimal. PyL is a novel PET tracer designed to detect prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) expressed on prostate cancer cells. PyL PET/CT may provide improved evaluation of clinically significant metastases in patients with prostate cancer.
This phase II trial studies how well androgen deprivation therapy and apalutamide with or without radiation therapy works for the treatment of prostate cancer that has a rise in the blood level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and has come back after treatment with surgery or radiation (biochemically recurrent). Androgens can cause the growth of prostate tumor cells. Apalutamide may help fight prostate cancer by blocking the use of androgens by the tumor cells. Androgen deprivation therapy drugs, leuprolide or degarelix, work to lower the amount of androgen in the body, also preventing the tumor cells from growing. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving radiation therapy with apalutamide and androgen deprivation therapy may help to control prostate cancer that has come back in only a few (up to 5) spots in the body.
