  • use of other dietary/herbal supplements (e.g. saw palmetto, selenium, etc.) has been stable for at least 2 months prior to screening and the patient agrees not to stop or change the dose while participating in the study.

About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of Oral Kanglaite (KLTc)in Men With Prostate Cancer: Randomized, Dose-Ranging Study of the Effects of KLTc on Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Doubling Time Among Men With Rising PSA Levels After Definitive Local Therapy

This research is being done to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the investigational Kanglaite gelcap (KLTc) on PSA in men with prostate cancer when given for twelve months.

Conditions
Prostate Cancer
Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • kanglaite gelcapDrug

    3 KLTc gelcap capsules four times a day throughout the study (12 months). Each gelcap contains .45g KLT per capsule

  • Kanglaite gelcapDrug

    6 KLTc gelcaps taken four times a day throughout the study (12 months). Each gelcap contains .45g KLT

What is being measured

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

  1. prostate specific antigen doubling time (PSADT)

    PSADT is defined as the natural log of 2 (0.693)divided by the slope (beta- rate of change) of the relationship between the log of PSA and the time of PSA measurement using linear regression model

    Measured: over 12 months on study drug

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. PSA objective response

    a 50% or more decline in PSA level compared to baseline

    Measured: over 12 months on study drug

  2. KLTc intake compliance

    actual number of capsules taken divided by the expected number of capsules taken multiplied by 100 to get a percentage of compliance

    Measured: each month, up to 12 months on study drug

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing kanglaite gelcap in people with Prostate Cancer, run by KangLaiTe USA at 5 sites 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?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 9 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Apr 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 sites 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 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 was stopped early (reason given: Sponsor decision). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

prostate specific antigen doubling time (PSADT) (time frame: over 12 months on study drug). 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 14 Apr 2014.
