Every treatment that has ever made a difference in cancer care was once a part of a clinical trial. MUSC Hollings Cancer Center is committed to offering the best treatments available today while searching for even better ones for the future. Ask your doctor if a clinical trial is right for you.
STUDY13017 Phase III Randomized Trial of Standard Systemic Therapy (SST) Versus Standard Systemic Therapy Plus Definitive Treatment (Surgery or Radiation) of the Primary Tumor in Metastatic Prostate Cancer This phase III trial studies how well standard systemic therapy with or without definitive treatment (prostate removal surgery or radiation therapy) works in treating participants with prostate cancer that has spread to other places in the body. Addition of prostate removal surgery or radiation therapy to standard systemic therapy for prostate cancer may lower the chance of the cancer growing or spreading. Study Information
STUDY13142 DORA Trial: Phase III Trial of Docetaxel vs. Docetaxel and Radium 223 for Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer (mCRPC) This is an open-labeled, randomized, phase III study of docetaxel versus docetaxel in combination with radium-223 in subjects with mCRPC. The primary objective is to compare overall survival for subjects treated with docetaxel versus subjects treated with docetaxel plus radium-223. Study Information
STUDY17022 First in Human, Phase 1/1b, Open label, Multicenter Study of Bifunctional EGFR/TGF ß Fusion Protein BCA101 Monotherapy and in Combination Therapy in Patients with EGFR Driven Advanced Solid Tumors The investigational drug to be studied in this protocol, BCA101, is a first-in-class compound that targets both EGFR with TGFβ. Based on preclinical data, this bifunctional antibody may exert synergistic activity in patients with EGFR-driven tumors. Study Information
STUDY17262 Combination of Autophagy Selective Therapeutics (COAST) in Relapsed Gynecological Cancers, Relapsed Prostate Cancer, or other Advanced Solid Tumors, a Phase I/II Trial Autophagy is a cancer cell survival mechanism that is involved in cancer growth, treatment resistance, and metastasis. Hydroxychloroquine and nelfinavir mesylate are agents that inhibit the process of autophagy. Metformin, dasatinib, and sirolimus stress autophagy. Study Information
STUDY17812 Parallel Phase III Randomized Trials for High Risk Prostate Cancer Evaluating De-Intensification for Lower Genomic Risk and Intensification of Concurrent Therapy for Higher Genomic Risk with Radiation (PREDICT RT) This phase III trial compares less intense hormone therapy and radiation therapy to usual hormone therapy and radiation therapy in treating patients with high risk prostate cancer and low gene risk score. This trial also compares more intense hormone therapy and radiation therapy to usual hormone therapy and radiation therapy in patients with high risk prostate cancer and high gene risk score. Abiraterone acetate may help fight prostate cancer by lowering the amount of testosterone made by the body. Apalutamide may help fight prostate cancer by blocking the use of androgen by the tumor cells. Radiation therapy uses high energy rays to kill tumor cells and shrink tumors. Giving a shorter hormone therapy treatment may work the same at controlling prostate cancer compared to the usual 24 month hormone therapy treatment in patients with low gene risk score. Adding abiraterone acetate and apalutamide to the usual treatment may increase the length of time without prostate cancer spreading as compared to the usual treatment in patients with high gene risk score.
