About this study

Official title: Phase I Clinical Trial: Randomized Lycopene Supplementation in Tobago Men With High-Grade Prostatic-Intraepithelial Neoplasia

The purpose of this study is to determine whether dietary lycopene supplementation lowers serum prostate specific antigen(PSA) in men with high grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN).

Read the detailed description

Observational studies suggest higher lycopene intake or higher lycopene blood levels are associated with a lower risk for prostate cancer. Two recent trials of lycopene supplementation conducted in men with prostate cancer, during the three weeks prior to radical prostatectomy, found a reduction in serum PSA suggesting a regression of prostate cancer.

High grade intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN)is thought to be a precancerous lesion, and men with HGPIN have an elevated risk of prostate cancer diagnosis on subsequent biopsy. The objective of this study is to determine whether dietary lycopene supplementation lowers serum prostate specific antigen(PSA)over four months of supplementation. Serum PSA is compared in men randomized to 30 mg/day lycopene plus a standard multivitamin versus standard multivitamin alone.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing - Lyc-O-Mato (dietary supplement, 30 mg lycopene/day) and - Certagen (multivitamins with minerals) in people with Prostatic Intraepithelial Neoplasia, run by University of Pittsburgh at 1 site in Trinidad and Tobago.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. 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 27 May 2015. 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 Trinidad and Tobago. 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.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Serum PSA at randomization, one month, four months. 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 27 May 2015.
