Prostate Cancer

Background: Head and neck cancers (HNCs) account for about 5% of all cancers worldwide. They grow in the mouth, throat, nasal cavity, or salivary glands. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men in the United States. Survival rates for these cancers are lower than 50% if they spread to other parts of the body or return after treatment. Better treatments are needed. Objective: To test a new drug (SX-682), combined with an approved drug (docetaxel, or DTX), in people with HNCs or prostate cancer. Eligibility People aged 18 years and older with an HNC or prostate cancer that has returned after treatment or has spread. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have blood tests, imaging scans, and a test of their heart function. A tissue sample (biopsy) of the tumor may be taken. Participants will take the study drugs in 3-week cycles. SX-682 is a tablet taken by mouth twice a day from Days 1 to 11 of each cycle. Participants will get a supply of the drug to take home. DTX is given on Day 8 of each cycle through a tube attached to a needle inserted into a vein in the arm. Participants will come to the clinic on Days 1 and 8 of every cycle. They will take both drugs for up to 6 cycles. Participants will have follow-up visits 1 week and 1 month after they finish taking the drugs. Follow-ups will continue every 3 months for 2 years. Then they will have phone or email check-ins twice a year until 5 years have passed.

Background: Prostate cancer is the second most common cause of cancer-related death among men in the United States. Early-stage, low-grade prostate cancer is managed with active monitoring. However, 35% of men with this cancer will need treatment within 5 years because of tumor growth. Researchers want to know if a new vaccine that targets 3 anti-cancer proteins (TriAdeno) plus a drug (N-803) approved for bladder cancer can help stop prostate tumors from growing. Objective: To test TriAdeno and N-803 in people with early-stage prostate cancer. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with early-stage low- or medium-risk prostate cancer. Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood tests. They will have a test of their heart function. They will have an imaging scan. They may have a rectal exam. TriAdeno is injected under the skin of the upper thigh; N-803 is injected under the skin of the abdomen. Participants will be treated in up to four 21-day cycles. They will get both injections on the first day of each cycle. Participants may opt to complete a memory aid: They may record all of their symptoms for 7 days after each injection. They may also complete a questionnaire about their prostate symptoms. Blood tests, imaging scans, and other tests will be repeated during the study. A tissue sample (biopsy) of the tumor will be collected during or after cycle 2; a second biopsy may be taken about 1 year later. Participants will have follow-up phone calls for 5 years....

This Phase 2, open-label, multicenter study is conducted in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer. Patients in this study receive MRT-2359, an investigational oral medicine, in combination with apalutamide, an oral medicine used to treat prostate cancer. The main purpose of the study is to assess whether this treatment combination can lower prostate-specific antigen (PSA) The study will also evaluate the safety and tolerability of the treatment combination and assess additional measures of anti-tumor activity.

The researchers are doing this study to test the capabilities of a new total-body PET scanner called the Biograph Vision Quadra. The researchers want to learn whether this scanner can produce better PET/CT images and provide more useful imaging information than standard PET/CT scanners.

The study is being conducted to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, radiation dosimetry, and preliminary efficacy of Lutetium Lu 177 JH020002 Injection in adult patients with advanced prostate cancer.

Randomized non-comparative phase II trial to assess the preliminary signs of antitumor activity of darolutamide plus radiation therapy in patients with unfavorable intermediate risk prostate cancer.

Background: Prostate cancer is the most common cancer and the second leading cause of death in males in the United States. Researchers want to find additional gene mutations that may increase a man s risk for prostate cancer and may affect how aggressive the disease is. Objective: To look at gene mutations in men with prostate cancer as well as the course of their disease to better understand how gene mutations relate to the way the cancer progresses and responds to treatment. Eligibility: Adult males 18 and older with prostate cancer who have at least one of the gene mutations researchers want to study and/or have been treated for their cancer and have had complete elimination of their cancer or stable disease for a long time. Design: Participants will be screened with a review of their medical records. Their gene test results will be reviewed, if available. They will be asked questions over the phone or in person. Participants do not need to visit the NIH for this study. But if they visit NIH for another study, their data and test results will be collected. They may give blood and urine samples. They may give leftover tumor samples. These samples will be used to study their genes. Participants who do not come to NIH on regular basis will be contacted every 6 months by phone or e-mail. They will be asked questions about their health. Data from their medical records will be collected. Participants will have testosterone and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests. Participants may be invited to NIH to give blood samples for research. Participants on this study will be followed for life....

Background: \- Some genes may be associated with a greater chance of side effects during cancer treatment. These genes may also make certain treatments less effective. Researchers want to collect blood or cheek swab samples from people having cancer treatment to study these genes. Objectives: \- To obtain a blood or cheek swab sample to study genetic differences that may affect cancer treatment. Eligibility: \- Individuals with cancer who are being treated at the National Cancer Institute. Design: * Participants will provide a blood sample for study. * Participants who have blood-based cancer, such as leukemia, will provide a cheek swab sample. * If the blood or cheek swab sample does not have enough genetic material for analysis, an additional sample may be collected.

Outcome of metastasis directed therapy

The goal of this observational study is to learn which factors can predict how well lutetium-177 PSMA therapy works in people with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). This therapy is a radioactive medicine (Pluvicto) given into a vein. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can scan results, radiation dose measurements, and blood test results predict which participants will have their prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level drop by half or more? * Can the same results predict how long participants live without their cancer getting worse? All participants receive Pluvicto as part of their regular medical care. Taking part in the study does not change their treatment. Participants will: * Receive up to 6 Pluvicto treatments, about every 6 weeks, as part of regular care * Have a PSMA PET/CT scan (an imaging test that shows where the cancer is) before treatment and after the last treatment, as part of regular care * Have 3 SPECT/CT scans after each treatment (at 3 to 4 hours, 24 hours, and 5 days) to measure how much radiation reached the tumors and organs, as part of regular care * Give 1 extra blood sample (10 ml) after each treatment to measure tumor DNA in the blood. It is taken from the same needle stick as routine blood tests. * Fill in a quality of life questionnaire (SF-36) before treatment and after every second treatment, during their hospital stay * Have check-ups every 4 to 6 months after treatment ends Researchers will also use existing medical records of people who started Pluvicto at the hospital before the study began.

A prospective, observational, multicenter study analyzing salvage treatment for prostate cancer-diagnosed via next-generation imaging (choline positron emission tomography (PET)/prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)) and positive biopsy-using two fractions of high-dose-rate (HDR) brachytherapy.

The impact of fluciclovine (18F) PET on the management of participants with prostate cancer following negative or equivocal PSMA PET Imaging at the time of biochemical recurrence

This is a single-arm, phase II study of neoadjuvant combination therapy of Androgen Deprivation Therapy (ADT), \[Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH) agonist Leuprolide\], androgen receptor (AR)-antagonist Darolutamide and Pembrolizumab in a stratified high-risk localized prostate cancer cohort, followed by adjuvant treatment with Pembrolizumab (12 cycles) post-radical prostatectomy (RP). Patients with National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) high-risk non-metastatic prostate cancer (localized or locally advanced) (defined as Gleason ≥8, disease stage \>=cT3a, or PSA l \>20 ng/mL) will be risk-stratified at a biopsy using Decipher, a commercial standard-of-care diagnostic assay. Patients satisfying all three criteria of high-risk genomic characteristics listed below as per the Decipher grid results will be enrolled in the study: 1. Decipher Genomic classifier, GC\>0.6 2. AR activity score/AR-output gene signature (ARoS)\>11.0 3. High Luminal B score/ PAM50 subtype signature

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Researchers have designed a study medicine called ifinatamab deruxtecan (also called I-DXd or MK-2400) to treat mCRPC. The goal of this study is to learn if people who receive I-DXd live longer overall and live longer without the cancer growing or spreading than people who receive chemotherapy.

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if FOG-001 is safe and effective in participants with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors or in participants with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP).

This protocol describes development and user testing of an educational shared decision making intervention to help men with prostate cancer who are on active surveillance make decisions with their health care providers about if and when to de-escalate surveillance testing. The project is important because for many patients their cancer does not progress to the point of needed curative treatment or their health status changes such that they are no longer good candidates for treatment. For these men, de-escalating ongoing surveillance (e.g., fewer biopsies or imaging studies) is a reasonable option.

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether Boswellia serrata extract is effective at reducing urinary symptoms in patients undergoing radiation for prostate cancer. The main question it aims to answer is whether patients taking Boswellia report significantly improved urinary symptoms at the 1-week timepoint after taking a minimum of two (2) days of Boswellia treatment. Participants will follow a treatment plan of 1500 mg of oral Boswellia, taken three times per day, and will report their symptoms and side effects using a specialized questionnaire.

The goal of this supportive care study is to learn if high-dose Vitamin E and CoQ10 in combination can reduce the negative sub-acute and chronic side effects of radiation to the pelvis in adults treated for prostate, uterine, cervical, or anal cancer. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is taking high doses of Vitamin E (dl-α-tocopherol acetate, 900mg) and CoQ10 (ubidecarenone, 200 mg) each day safe and tolerable? * Does a 90-day course of vitamin supplementation with high-dose Vitamin E and CoQ10 reduce the incidence and severity of late radiation-associated toxicities? * Does high-dose vitamin supplementation with Vitamin E and CoQ10 improve patient reported measure of quality of life? * Does high-dose vitamin supplementation with Vitamin E and CoQ10 change the trajectory of recovery after radiation therapy? * Is there evidence that suggests high-dose vitamin supplementation with Vitamin E and CoQ10 impairs oncologic outcomes? * Can longitudinal biomarkers of oxidative stress be correlated with Vitamin E and CoQ10 concentrations or radiation-associated toxicity? * Will subjects adhere to the vitamin administration schedule? * Are there demographic differences in systemic exposure to the vitamins? * Are there differences in toxicity outcomes across tumor types or radiation dose fractionation schemes? Participants will be asked to: * Take Vitamin E and CoQ10 every day for 90 days by mouth. * Fill out quality of life questionnaires to assess treatment impacts. * Come for clinic visits every 2-4 weeks for around 4 months, then every 3-6 months for around 2 years. * Have blood draws more frequently than standard-of-care for clinical laboratory examinations and the collection of research samples. * Undergo Computed Tomography (CT) imaging of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis more frequently than standard of care. * Agree to lifestyle changes that ensure adequate vitamin absorption including intermittent abstinence from alcoholic beverages.

Over 20,000 patients a year in the UK get surgery or radiotherapy to cure their prostate cancer. These men then undergo regular check-ups to manage potential side effects and see if cancer recurs so it can be treated quickly. The organisation of these check-ups varies across the country as it is not known which approach is best. The four different established approaches are (i) check-ups performed in hospital outpatients by the same team that provided treatment; (ii) patients seen regularly by their GP with hospital referral as necessary; (iii) planned shared care between general practice and hospital follow up; or (iv) patients supported to provide checks on themselves (self-care) and reaching out to a doctor or a nurse when required. This study will compare these options to establish which is best for patients and makes the best use of the NHS resources.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter clinical study to investigates the efficacy of fezolinetant in men undergoing ADT for prostate cancer in alleviating Vasomotor syndromes.

Prostate cancer is characterised by its slow progression nature, and even for metastatic disease, the 5-year survival is up to 30%. While ADT can effectively control disease, there is increasing evidence suggesting that it can also result in many adverse cardiovascular side effects on the patients, and these effects are particularly important due to the prolonged survival of these patients. There are suggestions that close cardiovascular (CV) monitoring will help to reduce cardiovascular risk and related morbidities. However, there is limited data to show the positive impact of these monitoring could reducing CV risk and morbidities. Moreover, information regarding the optimal follow-up approach and schedule is also lacking. Therefore, there is a need to have more information on the approach to monitoring the CV risk and the real-life impact of this monitoring on our patients. Patients diagnosed with prostate cancer and plan to receive ADT are invited to participate in this study to assess the potential benefit of multidisciplinary care approach to CV risk modification.

Background: Biochemically recurrent prostate cancer (BCR) occurs when prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in the blood rise after surgery or radiation. BCR affects 30,000 to 50,000 men each year. Researchers want to know if a drug (N-803) alone or combined with a vaccine (ETBX-071) can reduce PSA in BCR prostate cancer after radiation. Objective: To test a study drug alone and combined with a vaccine in people with BCR prostate cancer who have been treated with targeted radiation to areas of recurrent prostate cancer in the past. Eligibility: People aged 18 years and older with BCR prostate cancer who have previously undergone treatment with stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). Design: Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam with blood tests. They will have tests of their heart and kidney function. They will have 3 different imaging scans of their tumors. N-803 is injected under the skin of the abdomen. ETBX-071 is injected under the skin of thigh. Participants will be divided into 2 groups: 1 group will get N-803 alone; 1 group will get both N-803 and ETBX-071. The drug or drugs will be given on the first day of 21-day treatment cycles. Participants will have 8 treatment cycles. Participants will have a follow-up visit 3 weeks after their last dose of the study drugs. Blood tests and all 3 imaging scans will be repeated. Follow-up visits will continue every 4 to 8 weeks for 5 years. These visits will include a positron emission tomography (PET) scan every 6 months.

This trial is aimed to better understand the impact of migration history on the quality of life of Black immigrant CaP survivors (both SSAI and CI). We will illuminate the full range of racial, social, environmental, behavioral, and structural factors associated with the Black immigrant experience in the US using a SDOH model.

This phase I trial tests the safety and feasibility of giving pasritamig before surgery in patients with unfavorable intermediate-risk, high-risk, or very high-risk localized prostate cancer. Pasritamig is a bispecific antibody that works by bringing immune cells called T cells close to prostate cancer cells that express KLK2, which may help the immune system attack the cancer. Giving pasritamig before radical prostatectomy may help researchers determine how the drug affects prostate cancer and the immune cells within the tumor.

This trial is a phase II, randomized, open label study designed to evaluate safety, tolerability and efficacy of CC-1, a bispecific antibody (bsAb) with PSMAxCD3 specificity, and of VACXS15-PC01, a prostate cancer (PC)-specific multi-peptide vaccine, both administered as single agent or in combination to patients affected with biochemical recurrence (BCR) of PC after local therapy with curative intent. Patients will not receive other treatments during trial participation.
