Trial summary

The purpose of this study is to assess whether there is any interaction between statins, acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and dutasteride on protection from prostate cancer, the development of high grade prostate cancer, or lower urinary tract symptoms. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: The Effect of Combination Statin, Acetylsalicylic Acid and Dutasteride Use on Prostate Cancer - a Sub Analysis of the REDUCE Trial

The purpose of this study is to assess whether there is any interaction between statins, acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) and dutasteride on protection from prostate cancer, the development of high grade prostate cancer, or lower urinary tract symptoms.

Read the detailed description

A review of data collected from REDUCE (REduction by DUtasteride of prostate Cancer Events) study participants will be performed. Data required for the analysis includes: ethnicity, prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels, prostate volumes, presence of diabetes, concomitant medication use (for statin and ASA), prostate biopsy results at 2 and 4 years, body mass index (BMI), digital rectal exam (DRE) results, family history of Prostate Cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) outcomes: urinary retention, international prostate symptom score (IPSS), urinary tract infections (UTI)s.

The association of drug interactions with prostate cancer will be explored by using a multivariate logistic regression model including all possible interaction terms between dutasteride, ASA and statins (i.e. statin+ASA+dutasteride, statin+ASA, dutasteride+statin, dutasteride+ASA). Any interaction term found to be insignificant ( i.e. p>0.05) will be removed from the model. If a statistically significant interaction term is identified, the study cohort will be stratified by drug use, and the relative risk (RR)of prostate cancer among the different drug users will be reported. To control for potential confounders, a multivariate regression model will be constructed adjusting for age, family history of prostate cancer, DRE results and BMI.

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnosis of Prostate Cancer

    The relative risk of prostate cancer development in REDUCE study participants treated with a combination of statins, acetylsalicylic acid and dutasteride.

    Measured: 4 years

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Diagnosis of High Grade Prostate Cancer

    The relative risk of high grade prostate cancer development in REDUCE study participants treated with a combination of statins, acetylsalicylic acid and dutasteride

    Measured: 4 years

  2. Improvement of Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms

    The impact of combination statin, acetylsalicylic acid and dutasteride use on lower urinary tract symptoms in REDUCE study participants.

    Measured: 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prostate Cancer, run by University Health Network, Toronto at 1 site in Canada.

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 1 inclusion and 1 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 9 Sep 2011. 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 Canada. 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?

Diagnosis of Prostate Cancer (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 9 Sep 2011.
