The Effects of Castration on the Pharmacokinetics of Zolpidem After Single Dose Administration In Men With Prostate Cancer Undergoing Androgen Deprivation Therapy Compared to Normal Healthy Females

Background: Insomnia is associated with difficulty sleeping. The drug zolpidem is widely prescribed for insomnia. Women have reported worse effects from the drug than men. Women have higher amounts of zolpidem in their body that may persist after waking. Drug exposure may also depend on male hormones that change during prostate cancer therapy. Researchers want to see if these findings can provide a more-accurate dose to healthy women and men with prostate cancer. Objective: To study amounts of zolpidem in men who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer before they are castrated and after, and to compare these results to healthy women s. Eligibility: Men ages 18 and older who have been diagnosed with prostate cancer who are planning to receive androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) Healthy women age 18 and older Design: Participants will be screened with: Blood tests Physical exam Electrocardiogram (EKG) heart test Male participants will confirm their prostate cancer. This can be done with a tumor sample tissue from a previous surgery or a report from a doctor. Female participants may have a pregnancy test. Participants will be admitted to the clinic in the evening and stay overnight. They will: Take a 5 mg zolpidem tablet on an empty stomach around 11 p.m. Have blood drawn multiple times Have physical exams and EKGs Answer questions about their symptoms and medicines they are taking Male participants will have ADT as part of their standard cancer treatment. After that, the testosterone in their blood will be measured. They will repeat the overnight clinic stay. Participants will get a follow-up phone call after each stay.

Combined PSMA PET/MRI for Detection of Lymph Node Metastases in High-risk Prostate Cancer Patients

For high-risk prostate cancer patients, detection of lymph node metastases is crucial to ensure optimal treatment. Standard treatment for these patients is radiotherapy or surgery. The surgery involves resection of the prostate and the pelvic lymph nodes. Currently, the most reliable method to confirm lymph node metastases is by histologic examination of the resected lymph nodes. Ideally, one should be able to detect lymph node metastases prior to treatment. Then, the treatment could be better adjusted to each patient. Imaging methods such as prostate specific membrane antigen positron emission tomography (PSMA-PET) can possibly aid the detection of lymph node metastases. In this study, the investigators want to test whether PSMA-PET or a combination of PSMA-PET and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) can improve staging of lymph nodes before treatment.

18F-DCFPyL PSMA- Versus 18F-NaF-PET Imaging for Detection of Metastatic Prostate Cancer

Background: Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in American men. Few options exist to create images of this type of cancer. Researchers think an experimental radiotracer called 18F-DCFPyL could find sites of cancer in the body. Objective: To see if 18F-DCFPyL can identify sites of prostate cancer in people with the disease. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older who have metastatic prostate cancer Design: Participants will be screened with: Blood tests Physical exam Medical history Participants will be assigned to 1 of 2 groups based on their PSA. Participants will have 18F-DCFPyL injected into a vein. About 2 hours later they will have a whole-body Positron Emission Tomography/Computed Tomography (PET/CT). For the scan, they will lie on their back on the scanner table while it takes pictures of the body. This lasts about 50 minutes. On another day, participants will have 18F -NaF injected into a vein. About 1 hour later, they will have a whole-body PET/CT. Participants will be contacted 1 3 days later for follow-up. They may undergo PET/Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) either after having a 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT, or in place of PET/CT imaging. A tube may be placed in the rectum. More coils may be wrapped around the outside of the pelvis. If the 18F-DCFPyL PET/CT is positive participants will be encouraged to undergo a biopsy of one of the tumors. The biopsy will be taken through a needle put through the skin into the tumor. Participants will be followed for 1 year. During this time researchers will collect information about their prostate cancer, such as PSA levels and biopsy results. About 4-6 months after scanning is completed, participants may have a tumor biopsy. The biopsy will be taken through a needle put through the skin into the tumor. ...

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 advanced (T3) prostate cancer. Untreated or conservatively treated locally advanced prostate cancer is associated with high mortality. Modern curative treatment for advanced solid malign tumors include surgery and/or radiation plus attempted chemotherapy if available to achieve both local control and elimination of potential micro metastases. Whereas there is evidence that surgery can cure localized prostate cancer, there are no clinical trials of multi-modal treatment of locally advanced prostate cancer that includes surgical removal of the prostate. One potential advantage of adding prostatectomy to the treatment of LAPC is that removing the prostate enables a full pathological assessment of the tumor characteristics and thus a better estimation of the risk of recurrence. Surgical treatment could thus reduce the numbers needed to treat with chemotherapy and radiation, and thus improve quality of life after treatment. In addition, evidence indicate that residual cancer in the prostate occurs in 25% after radiation treatment (56) and surgical removal of the prostate may improve survival beyond what can be achieved by radiation and ADT. On the other hand, patients treated with surgery, radiation and hormones will experience side effects of all three treatment modalities and might fare better if radiotherapy plus hormones can provide oncological control without prior surgery. A randomized clinical trial comparing two multimodal treatment regimens of which one includes a radical prostatectomy is therefore warranted.

Men at High Genetic Risk for Prostate Cancer

Background: Research studies have shown that genetic changes and family history may increase a man s risk for prostate cancer. Researchers want to follow the prostate health of men who have specific genetic changes associated with prostate cancer to help them learn more about which men are at higher risk for prostate cancer. Objectives: To study men with specific genetic changes and determine who is at higher risk for getting prostate cancer. To study if certain genetic changes and family history can be used to help prevent or treat prostate cancer. Eligibility: Persons assigned male at birth ages 30-75 who have one or more specific genetic changes but without prostate cancer. Design: This study does not perform genetic testing. All participants must have documented genetic changes and able to provide a copy of the report. Before enrollment, participants will provide a copy of documented genetic changes and go through a telephone interview to determine eligibility for the study. On enrollment, participants will have medical and family history review, medication review, physical exam, blood collection for clinical and research testing, and MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) of the prostate. Every year, participants will repeat the physical exam, medical history, family history, medication review, routine blood tests, including PSA and testosterone. Every 2 years, participants will repeat all the above plus prostate MRI and blood tests for research. If, at any time, the physical exam, blood tests or MRI are abnormal, participants may be asked to do a biopsy. If the biopsy results in prostate cancer, participants will be given counseling on next steps, general treatment recommendations, and then followed with a phone call each year. Participants may ask to speak with a genetic counselor.

Evaluation of Atherosclerotic Plaques in Abdominal CT Studies

Background: Fat and calcium can build up as plaque in artery walls. The Agatston score measures plaque using computed tomography (CT) that does not use an injected contrast agent. Plaque in the arteries of the pelvis and abdomen is linked to cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors. It also may affect cancer. But abdominal CTs use a contrast agent (CECT). Therefore, the Agatston score cannot be used. Researchers want to find a way to measure plaque in CECTs. This will help them use abdominal CTs to measure plaque without extra radiation. Objective: To measure atherosclerotic plaques on CECT in a group of males. Eligibility: Men ages 30-90 with prostate cancer (proven with biopsies) who have abdomen CT studies in the PACS (picture archiving system) in the Clinical Center. Also, men or women of all ages who have multiphase abdomen and pelvic CT studies that are in the PACS. Design: This study will use data gathered since 1/1/2013. Data will also be taken from protocol 03-CC-0128 and clinical trials 15-C-0124, 16-C-0048, 14-C-0112, and 04-C-0274. Participants from these studies have allowed their samples to be used in the future. Participants will be found via keyword searches on NIH databases. Their CT and MRI scans will be used. Data such as age, race, disease, and treatment will be used. Results of other tests may be used. The plaque in participants abdomen and iliac arteries will be measured. It will be compared with biomarkers related to CVD and prostate cancer, such as weight, age, and race. This study will take place at one site. Data will be stored on secure computers. Printouts will be kept in locked rooms.

Verification of Shear Wave Elastography for DEtection of Prostate Cancer

Objective To provide evidence that adding shear wave elastography during sono-guided prostate biopsy can increase prostate cancer detection rate and to demonstrate that shear wave elastography of the prostate can discriminate malignant lesions to reduce the number of unnecessary prostate biopsies. Overview Patients who are indicated for prostate biopsy in suspicion of prostate cancer will be assigned to a control group and an intervention group under double blinded randomization. Control group : Patients will undergo prostate biopsy guided by conventional ultrasonography (B mode, gray scale). Experimental group : Patients will undergo prostate biopsy guided by shear wave elastography in addition to conventional ultrasonography. A comparative statistical analysis of the two groups will be performed. The study is planned to be conducted for 3 years, with 2 years for patient enrollment and 1 year of follow-up. Three hospitals will participate in the study to enroll 85 patients for each group and a total of 170 patients. 3. Inclusion and Exclusion criteria Male patients with suspected prostate cancer must meet at least one of the following three criteria. PSA level over 4ng/dl Suspicious hard prostatic nodule on digital rectal examination. Hypoechoic lesion on ultrasound of the prostate suspicious for cancer. Patients who (1) are less than 20 years old, (2) have a history of surgery on the prostate such as HoLEP, (3) have moderate cognitive impairment, or (4) have medical conditions precluding transrectal procedures such as rectal cancer are excluded from the study. 4. Research method Patients who wish to participate in this study and meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria are randomly assigned to the 2 groups as described above. The biopsy results are checked one week after the procedure. Patients confirmed to have prostate cancer are provided proper treatment according to generally accepted treatment methods. Patients with negative biopsy results are followed according to general follow-up protocol for suspected prostate cancer patients. After 6 months from the biopsy the patients are re-evaluated and if cancer is still suspected based on PSA level or other clinical symptoms, prostate MRI or additional biopsy is be performed. Patients are followed again after 12 months since the initial biopsy with identical methods from the 6 months follow-up protocol.

Impact of Peri-operative tEstosterone Levels on oNcological and Functional Outcomes in RadiCal prostatEctomy

Sexual dysfunction is a common side effect of radical prostatectomy (RP) and has a significant negative impact on quality of life. With age the testosterone level in men declines; around 30% of men over 70 years of age meet the criteria of testosterone deficiency (TD). The negative impact of both TD and RP on sexual performance are likely to add up. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) on functional and oncological outcomes in testosterone deficient men following RP for prostate cancer (PCa).

Imaging Studies to Check the Local Response of Prostate Cancer to Radiation Therapy

Background: - Radiation is a common treatment for prostate cancer. It helps damage tumor cells and causes them to die. Radiation can be effective, but some tumors may be harder to treat with radiation or even with surgery. This happens to a small number of men who have either radiation or surgery for prostate cancer. Most men who have these hard-to-treat tumors do not know if the tumor has recurred only in the prostate or has spread to another area. Also, men whose prostate cancer has recurred only after radiation may have different treatment options. This study will use improved imaging studies to better understand why some men do not respond as well to initial radiation treatments. Objectives: - To use detailed imaging studies to look at the results of local radiation therapy for prostate cancer. Eligibility: Men at least 18 years of age who are scheduled to have radiation for prostate cancer. Men at least 18 years of age whose prostate cancer has returned after earlier treatments. Design: All participants will have a medical history and physical exam. Blood and urine samples will be collected. Imaging studies will be used to evaluate the cancer at the start of the study. All participants will have an initial full magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of the prostate. Tumor and healthy tissue samples will be collected. Those whose cancer has recurred after treatment will discuss possible treatment options with the study doctors. Participants who are scheduled to have radiation will have radiation therapy. This will be given according to the current standard of treatment. After radiation, participants will have regular follow-up tests and imaging studies. They will have another full MRI scan 6 months after the end of radiation treatment.

A Pilot Study of 5-AZA and ATRA for Prostate Cancer With PSA-only Recurrence After Local Treatment

This is a prospective, open-label, randomized, cross-over, pilot study of reprogramming therapy in patients with recurrent PCa based on rising PSA only. The primary objectives are to compare the disease progression-free rate at the end of 12 weeks between 5-AZA+ATRA and no therapy and to assess safety of the 5-AZA and ATRA combination. All study enrollees will receive Lupron. After one month, they will be assigned in a 1:1 randomization to either the '5-AZA+ATRA' group or the 'no therapy' group. Patients in the '5-AZA + ATRA' group will receive treatment on a 28-day cycle, in the absence of prohibitive toxicities, for 3 cycles. Patients will initially be observed for 3 cycles under either no therapy or combination therapy, before crossing over to receive the opposite treatment for another 3 cycles in the absence of prohibitive toxicities. After the treatment period, all patients will be followed for a total of 24 months from the start of the study or until the events leading to discontinuation are observed.
