About this study

Official title: Impact of Dietary Intervention in Men With Hormone Refractory Prostate Cancer

RATIONALE: A low-fat, high-fiber diet that includes soy protein may prevent disease progression in patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer. Nutrition counseling may help motivate patients to follow this diet.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase I trial to study the effectiveness of behavior-based dietary interventions, such as receiving nutrition counseling, in helping patients who have hormone-refractory prostate cancer follow a low-fat, high-fiber, soy-supplemented diet.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • Determine whether a behavior-based dietary intervention can motivate patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer to adopt and maintain a dietary pattern that includes < 20% of energy from fat, > 25 g of fiber, and 80 g of soy protein powder.
  • Compare bioavailable levels of testosterone in patients treated with a behavior-based dietary intervention vs observation only.
  • Determine whether this dietary intervention decreases or stabilizes a rising serum prostate-specific antigen level in these patients.
  • Determine whether this dietary intervention improves disease-specific survival, mediated by reduced bioavailable levels of testosterone, in these patients.
  • Determine the impact of a positive intervention outcome on androgen receptors in patients treated with this dietary intervention.

OUTLINE: This is a randomized, controlled, pilot, multicenter study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

All patients receive nutritional counseling on a healthy diet. Patients also keep a food diary during study participation.

  • Arm I (dietary intervention): Patients receive dietary intervention comprising nutritional counseling on a low-fat, high-fiber, soy supplemented diet and behavior-based activities, such as goal-setting, contracting, and stimulus control, once weekly for 6 weeks, every 3 weeks for 33 weeks, and then at weeks 44, 48, and 52. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
  • Arm II (observation): Patients undergo observation every 6 weeks for 36 weeks and then every 8 weeks for 18 weeks.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 92 patients (46 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing behavioral dietary intervention, dietary intervention and therapeutic dietary intervention in people with Prostate Cancer, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center 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 6 Nov 2018. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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 6 Nov 2018.
