About this study

Official title: Lycopene or Green Tea a Feasibility Study in Men at Risk of Prostate Cancer

RATIONALE: Lycopene and green tea may stop or delay the development of recurrent prostate cancer in patients has been treated for prostate cancer. It is not yet known whether lycopene or green tea may be more effective in preventing prostate cancer.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying lycopene to see how well it works compared with green tea in preventing prostate cancer in patients previously enrolled in the ProtecT trial

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To assess serum lycopene and epigallocatechin-3-gallate (green tea) levels at 6 months following randomization in patients with prostate cancer previously enrolled on ProtecT

Secondary

  • To evaluate trial recruitment and randomization rates of patients treated with this regimen.
  • To evaluate intervention tolerability in patients treated with this regimen.
  • To evaluate compliance of patients treated with this regimen.
  • To evaluate trial retention of patients treated with this regimen.
  • To assess PSA values in patients treated with this regimen.
  • To evaluate dietary compliance with recommendations of patients treated with this regimen.
  • To assess weight and body mass index of patients treated with this regimen.
  • To evaluate attitudes and views of men and their spouses about dietary modification and participation in long-term study.

OUTLINE: Patients are stratified according to PSA test levels obtained from ProtecT study recruitment clinic (< 3.0 ng/mL vs 3.0-19.99 ng/mL). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Green tea drink, green tea capsules and Lycopene capsules in people with Prostate Cancer, run by University of Bristol at 1 site in United Kingdom.

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 23 Jan 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 Kingdom. 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 combined 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.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 lycopene and epigallocatechin-3-gallate (green tea) levels at 6 months following randomization (time frame: 6 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 23 Jan 2018.
