High Dose Testosterone
for Prostate Cancer
This study will determine whether the presence of DNA repair deficiency in the form of alterations in the genes ATM, CDK12 or CHEK2 predicts for a high likelihood of responding to the use of intermittent high dose testosterone. This therapy may result in responses in tumors which are genetically unstable because of DNA repair deficiency and this is a prospective study to test that hypothesis

Omeprazole
for Prostate Cancer
This trial is testing if adding omeprazole, a common stomach acid reducer, can help prostate cancer patients who are not responding well to their current treatments with cabazitaxel or docetaxel. Omeprazole may block an enzyme that helps cancer cells grow, potentially making the cancer drugs more effective. Omeprazole has been widely studied for its interactions with other drugs.
Recruiting1 award Phase 2
MGE + ADT
for Prostate Cancer
It is estimated that one-third of the more than 7 million deaths from cancer worldwide are attributable to potentially modifiable risk factors, with 374,000 deaths preventable through diet modification alone. Diet supplementation for the prevention or treatment of cancer is attractive, as implementation is relatively easy, even in populations with reduced incomes and resources. Grape extracts or active components isolated from grapes have received attention as chemopreventive or therapeutic agents based upon their anti-proliferative, anti-inflammatory, and anti-oxidant properties. Evidence from preclinical trials also suggests that muscadine grape products may decrease systemic inflammation. This study builds upon promising preclinical and clinical evidence to determine if the addition muscadine grape extract (MGE) to androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) improves symptoms in men with prostate cancer.
