Trial summary

RATIONALE: Eating a diet rich in isoflavones, compounds found in soy foods, or lycopene, a substance found in tomatoes, may keep prostate cancer from growing. Giving isoflavones or lycopene before surgery may be an effective treatment for prostate cancer. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Randomized Pilot Clinical Trial Of The Action Of Isoflavones And Lycopene In Localized Prostate Cancer: Administration Prior To Radical Prostatectomy

RATIONALE: Eating a diet rich in isoflavones, compounds found in soy foods, or lycopene, a substance found in tomatoes, may keep prostate cancer from growing. Giving isoflavones or lycopene before surgery may be an effective treatment for prostate cancer.

PURPOSE: Randomized clinical trial to compare the effectiveness of isoflavones with that of lycopene before surgery in treating patients who have stage I or stage II prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Compare the effect of isoflavones vs lycopene prior to radical prostatectomy on intermediate biomarkers (e.g., indices of cell proliferation and apoptosis) in patients with localized prostate cancer.
  • Compare the effects of these nutritional supplements on increases in plasma levels and tissue levels of these agents in these patients.
  • Compare the effects of these nutritional supplements on changes in surrogate markers of disease progression (e.g., prostate-specific antigen levels) in these patients.
  • Compare the effects of these nutritional supplements on changes in serum steroid hormones, estradiol, and free testosterone in these patients.
  • Compare the magnitude of these changes in patients treated with these nutritional supplements vs patients in the control group.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to disease stage (stage I vs stage II) and presence of high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia. Patients are randomized to 1 of 7 treatment groups.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 87 patients will be accrued for this study within 1 year.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Occurrences of Treatment Effect on Biomarkers in Each Group

    Effect of isoflavones and lycopene on endpoint biomarkers as measured by tissue cell proliferation, apoptosis, or programmed cell death at prostate cancer biopsy and surgical excision

    Measured: 4 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Occurrences of Plasma Level Changes for Each Group

    Plasma levels of isoflavones and lycopene as measured by plasma analysis at baseline and post-study intervention

    Measured: 4 years

  2. Occurrence of Tissue Level Increases

    Correlation of plasma and tissue levels of isoflavones and lycopene as measured by plasma and tissue analysis at baseline and post-study intervention

    Measured: 4 years

  3. Occurrences of Disease Progression for Each Group

    Effect of isoflavones and lycopene on markers of disease progression as measured by prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels at baseline and post-study intervention

    Measured: 4 years

  4. Occurrences of Hormonal Effect

    Effect of isoflavones and lycopene on serum steroid hormones as measured by sex-hormone-binding globulin, estradiol, and free testosterone at baseline and post-study intervention

    Measured: 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Lycopene, Multivitamin and Soy isoflavones in people with Prostate Cancer, run by H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute at 5 sites in United States.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Sep 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Occurrences of Treatment Effect on Biomarkers in Each Group (time frame: 4 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

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 24 Sep 2012.
