About this study

Official title: An Evaluation of the Effect of Androgen Ablation on Bone Resorption in Prostate Cancer Patients

RATIONALE: Assessing the effect of androgen suppression on bone loss in prostate cancer patients may improve the ability to plan treatment, may decrease the risk of fractures and bony pain, and may help patients live more comfortably.

PURPOSE: Clinical trial to determine the effect of androgen suppression on bone loss in patients who have prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Evaluate the effect of androgen ablation on bone resorption in patients with or without bone metastases secondary to prostate cancer.

OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to prior androgen ablation therapy (yes vs no) and metastatic disease (yes vs no).

Patients undergo blood work and 24 hour urine collection on day 1 and at week 6-8. Patients who have received androgen ablation therapy and are found to have increased bone resorption undergo a dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan.

A comparison is made between androgen ablation therapy and bone resorption and if metastases are associated with the two.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 150 patients will be accrued for this study within 9 months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing management of therapy complications in people with Osteoporosis and Prostate Cancer, run by University of Rochester at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Oct 2013. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Oct 2013.
