Disease State Localized

Dose Escalation For INtraprostatic LEsions

External beam radiotherapy combined with androgen deprivation therapy is a standard treatment option for localized prostate cancer. The current standard involves delivering radiotherapy uniformly throughout the prostate gland in daily fractions, five days per week, for approximately four weeks. In…

Pembro With Radiation With or Without Olaparib

This trial will evaluate whether the immune-sensitizing effects of immunotherapy (Pembrolizumab) and radiation with or without a PARP-inhibitor (Olaparib) will increase the effects of immunotherapy in men with high-risk localized prostate cancer.

A Single-Arm Phase II Study of Neoadjuvant Intensified Androgen Deprivation (Leuprolide and Abiraterone Acetate) in Combination With AKT Inhibition (Capivasertib) for High-Risk Localized Prostate Cancer With PTEN Loss

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…

Outcomes of Focal Ablation for Prostate Cancer

This study will be designed to define the efficacy and safety of ablative therapies in the management of localized prostate cancer and comprehensively evaluate quality of life outcomes and oncologic control following treatment.

A Phase II Study Evaluating T-Cell Clonality After Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy Alone and in Combination With the Immunocytokine PDS01ADC in Localized High and Intermediate Risk Prostate Cancer Treated With Androgen Deprivation Therapy

Background: Prostate cancer is often treated with radiation and ADT (ADT is androgen deprivation therapy). Up to 30% of these cancers recur within 5 years of treatment. Researchers want to see if a new drug (PDS01ADC) can help the immune…

MRI Guided Focal Laser Ablation of Prostate Cancer

This clinical research study is designed to determine the ability of in bore MRI guided Focal Laser Ablation (MRgFLA) in patients with early stage carcinoma of prostate. The results will be evaluated by repeated MRI and prostate biopsy. Previous prospective…

Registry for Prostate Cancer Focal Therapy

Whole gland therapy (radical prostatectomy and radiotherapy) has been the conventional treatment for localized prostate cancer, but randomized controlled trials have not demonstrated survival benefits compared with watchful waiting or active surveillance. Whole gland therapy is also associated with significant…

Two-fraction HDR Monotherapy for Localized Prostate Cancer

This is a single center single arm prospective pilot study investigating the safety of high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy as monotherapy delivered in 2 fractions 3 hours apart. HDR monotherapy has been established as safe and effective in this context,…

Ablative Therapy in the Management of Prostate Cancer

The purpose of this study is collect observational data regarding patterns of care and outcomes of focal therapies for prostate cancer, including but not limited to: high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), cryotherapy, focal laser ablation, irreversible electroporation, photodynamic therapy, and brachytherapy.

Transrectal Ultrasound Robot-Assisted Prostate Biopsy

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common non-dermatologic malignancy in U.S. men. Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy is a commonly used diagnostic procedure for men with an elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level and/or abnormal digital rectal examination (DRE). It…

MRI/Ultrasound Fusion Guided Prostate Cryotherapy

Registration of Prostate Cancer patients undergoing Prostate Cryotherapy guided by Mutiparametric-MRI (MP-MRI) highlighting biopsy confirmed regions. The primary outcome measure is 5 year oncological control. Secondary aim is lack of progression beyond the prostate gland. The aim of intervention is…

SBRT Boost for Unfavorable Prostate Cancer’

The purpose of this study is to find out whether giving a short course of focused radiation called an SBRT “boost” is a safe and effective way to treat prostate cancer. This boost delivers a high dose of radiation to…

Study Evaluating the Efficacy and the Tolerance of Pelvic-prostatic Hypo-fractionated Radiotherapy Followed by Boost in Patients With Prostate Adenocarcinoma Adverse Intermediate Risk or High Localized Risk

The standard treatment of high-risk prostatic adenocarcinoma is based on pelvic-prostatic external radiotherapy combined with concomitant and adjunctive hormone therapy for a total of 3 years. Prostatic stereotactic radiotherapy in 5 sessions is a therapeutic option currently delivered and described…

Surgery Versus Radiotherapy for Locally Advanced Prostate Cancer

This prospective, open randomized phase III surgical trial seeks to study whether radical prostatectomy (with or without the combination of external radiation) improves prostate-cancer specific survival in comparison with primary radiation treatment and hormonal treatment among patients diagnosed with locally…

Stem Cells for Erectile Dysfunction Post RALP

This is a phase 1/2 single center, pilot study to assess safety and efficacy of allogeneic adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (HB-adMSCs) and to evaluate the timing and combination effects of active treatment versus placebo in promoting the recovery of erectile…

SAFE Nerve Sparing Guided by Micro-ultrasound (MUS)

Robotic-assisted radical prostatectomy (RALP) has become the standard of care in the management of localized prostate cancer. However, post-prostatectomy erectile dysfunction (ED) and urinary incontinence still pose a challenge that adversely affects the patient’s quality of life. Hydrodissection (HD) was…

Active Surveillance for Cancer of the Prostate (ASCaP)

Active Surveillance (A.S.) of prostate cancer (CaP) is the systematic monitoring of men with low-risk, localized lesions, with curative treatment of those whose tumors show substantial progression. A.S. is different from Watchful Waiting (W.W.), which is the palliative treatment of…

Focal Therapy for Prostate Cancer Using HIFU

RATIONALE: Prospective trials using hemi-ablation with high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) (Sonablate 500) have demonstrated feasibility, safety, and encouraging functional outcomes and early cancer control with 90% of men achieving trifecta status (no erectile dysfunction, leak-free pad-free continence, cancer control).…

Prostate Active Surveillance Study

The Prostate Active Surveillance Study (PASS) is a research study for men who have chosen active surveillance as a management plan for their prostate cancer. Active surveillance is defined as close monitoring of prostate cancer with the offer of treatment…
