About this study

Official title: Randomized Phase IIb Preprostatectomy Study of Dietary Supplementation With Soy and Biomarkers of Prostate Cancer Risk and Progression

RATIONALE: Dietary supplementation with soy may keep prostate cancer from growing in patients planning to undergo surgery.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying a soy supplement to see how well it works compared to a placebo in treating patients undergoing surgery for localized prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Compare the effect of dietary supplementation with soy vs placebo on biomarkers of cell cycle regulation, proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and signaling pathways in patients with localized prostate cancer scheduled to undergo radical prostatectomy.

Secondary

  • Compare the toxicity and side effects of these regimens in these patients.
  • Compare the dietary patterns of these patients.

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

  • Arm I: Patients receive oral soy supplementation daily for 4 weeks.
  • Arm II: Patients receive oral placebo supplementation daily for 4 weeks. Patients undergo radical prostatectomy within 21 days after completion of soy or placebo supplementation.

Blood and tissue samples are collected for biomarker analysis using immunohistochemistry.

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation of pretreatment ER-β expression with response to soy supplementation

    after a 4 week therapy, within 21 days, a Radical Prostatectomy will be performed, and after that ER-β expression will be measured.

    Measured: within 21 days after completetion of supplement regimen

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing soy isoflavones and soy protein isolate in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Wake Forest University Health Sciences at 1 site 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 10 Aug 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Correlation of pretreatment ER-β expression with response to soy supplementation (time frame: within 21 days after completetion of supplement regimen). 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 10 Aug 2018.
