Bleomycin, Etoposide, Cisplatin (BEP) administered 3-weekly x 4 remains standard 1st line chemotherapy for intermediate- and poor-risk metastatic germ cell tumours (GCTs). Cure rates are over 90% for good-risk disease, 85% with intermediate-risk, and about 70% for poor-risk disease. Previous strategies to improve first-line chemotherapy have failed to improve cure...
Prostate biopsies play a crucial role in deciding whether men with elevated Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) have cancer and whether treatment is needed. Not all forms of prostate cancer require treatment, only those that are worrisome and thus clinically significant. Standard prostate biopsy can miss the most aggressive areas...

To determine the effect of low dose apalutamide on Ia. Reversibility of testosterone levels 7-14 days post intervention. Ib. Post-intervention plasma trough apalutamide concentration. Ic. Intra-prostatic immune cell...
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: To determine whether, in men with post-prostatectomy PSA (prostate specific antigen) recurrences with aggressive disease features, salvage radiotherapy (SRT) with enhanced androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), consisting of enzalutamide (MDV3100) and a GnRH analog, will improve progression-free survival compared to SRT with standard GnRH analog -based ADT.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To compare bladder intact event-free survival (BI-EFS) for concurrent chemoradiation therapy (CRT) with and without atezolizumab in localized muscle invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To compare overall survival between the two arms. II. To compare modified bladder intact event-free survival including cancer related death between...
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To compare overall survival in metastatic prostate cancer patients who are randomized to standard systemic therapy (SST) plus definitive treatment of the primary tumor versus standard systemic therapy alone. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To compare overall survival in metastatic prostate cancer patients who received SST plus surgical excision...
The purpose of this study is to determine how patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, and evidence of a homologous recombination gene deficiency, respond to treatment with rucaparib versus treatment with physician's choice of abiraterone acetate, enzalutamide, or docetaxel.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To assess the clinical benefit of combining radical surgery ? cytoreductive radical prostatectomy (CRP) - with the best systemic therapy (BST) in men with newly diagnosed clinical metastatic prostate cancer (mPCa). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the impact of CRP+BST on time to biochemical progression, cancer-specific survival,...
GNX102 is a humanized monoclonal antibody (mAb) developed by GlycoNex. GNX102 binds with high affinity to branched Lewis B/Lewis Y (LeB/LeY) glycans, which are novel glycans caused by glycosylation changes in tumors. The monomeric LeB and LeY are blood group related antigens, commonly present in healthy adult tissues at low...
High-risk prostate cancer accounts for approximately 15 percent (%) of newly diagnosed prostate cancers. A systemic therapy that eradicates micrometastatic disease is needed to improve survival in high-risk participants undergoing RP with pLND. It is hypothesized that androgen blockade prior to and after RP with pLND may improve outcomes for...
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate changes in prostate cancer bone involvement induced by enzalutamide alone or in combination with radium Ra 223 dichloride (radium 223), specifically extent of prostate cancer infiltration, androgen receptor (AR) signaling and hormone levels, hematopoietic composition, apoptosis and proliferation. II. To evaluate the immune activation of...
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To assess patient health literacy and understanding of critical radiation information during consultation in Spanish and English speaking patient in the department of radiation oncology at Los Angeles County (LAC) + University of Southern California (USC) utilizing a patient survey administered after consultation. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: I. Correlate...
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. Observe longitudinal changes in structural connectivity using T1-weighted and diffusion tensor MRI in men with non-metastatic prostate cancer on current ADT versus those who were not. II. Observe longitudinal changes in brain functional connectivity using resting-state functional (rsf) MRI. III. Observe longitudinal changes in brain metabolic profiles...
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To obtain preliminary estimates of the impact of a restricted diet on toxicity and efficacy of chemotherapy for breast and prostate cancer. II.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of peposertib (M3814) in combination with radium-223 dichloride or in combination with radium-223 dichloride and avelumab in patients with advanced metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) based on dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) in the doublet or triplet combinations. (Phase 1) II....
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine whether stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) can be shown to be superior to hypofractionated intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) in terms of genitourinary (GU) and gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity by having fewer patients that experience a minimal important decline (MID) in urinary irritation/obstructive and bowel Health Related...
