About this study

Official title: R01 CA155301: Validation of Digital Morphometry for Cancer Risk in Benign Prostate Biopsies

The goal of this study is to apply cutting-edge imaging approaches, incorporating machine-learning for pattern recognition and multispectral analysis, to the development and validation of intermediate endpoint biomarkers in benign tissue that characterize the response to 5α-reductase inhibitor chemoprevention as well as the risk of prostate cancer among men with negative biopsies.

What is being measured

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

  1. Effects of dutasteride (vs. placebo) using multi-feature scores derived from digital image analysis on both nuclear and architectural features in benign prostate tissue.

    Measured: Year 4

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Multivariable treatment-response score between subjects who develop PCa while on dutasteride and those who do not.

    Measured: Year 4

  2. Magnitude of association between nuclear phenotype in benign biopsies, and subsequent risk of PCa in untreated men at elevated risk.

    Measured: Year 4

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prostate Cancer, run by University of Illinois Chicago 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?

The sponsor lists 2 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 12 Oct 2020. 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. 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?

Effects of dutasteride (vs. placebo) using multi-feature scores derived from digital image analysis on both nuclear and architectural features in benign prostate tissue. (time frame: Year 4). 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 12 Oct 2020.
