The use of non-prescription substances to improve urinary tract symptoms will not be permitted (i.e. Saw Palmetto, other herbal, alternative products).
Show all 10Show fewer
  • Have kidney and liver enzymes within normal limits. Men with kidney and liver enzymes that are slightly elevated (< 1.5 times the upper normal limit), but have been stable for several months particularly those that are related to a known disorder (such as Gilberts syndrome, past history of alcohol, hepatitis, or a history of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis) will be permitted to participate after clinical evaluation by the study physician."
  • Have no history of malabsorptive disorders or other metabolic disorders requiring special diet recommendations. Diabetics will be permitted to participate.
  • Voluntarily agree to participate and a sign an informed consent document.
  • Agree to consume a standardized vitamin and mineral supplement and avoid other nutrition, dietary, or alternative medications/supplements for the duration of the study.

Who cannot join

  • Have an active malignancy other than prostate cancer that requires therapy.
  • Have a history of pituitary hormone diseases that currently require supplemental hormonal administration (thyroid hormones, adrenocorticotropic hormone, growth hormone) or other endocrine disorders requiring hormone administration with the exception of diabetes, osteoporosis and men who have been stable (> 6 months of thyroid stimulating hormone within normal limits) on thyroid replacement therapy.
  • Have a known allergy to tree nuts, soy or wheat protein.

About this study

Official title: Bioavailability of Isoflavones Delivered by Soy Almond Bread in Men With Recurring Prostate Cancer and Rising Prostate Specific Antigen

RATIONALE: Eating a diet high in soy foods may lower the risk of some types of cancer. Isoflavones are compounds found in soy food that may prevent cancer.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying how well soy isoflavones work in treating patients with recurrent prostate cancer or rising prostate-specific antigen

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  1. To precisely quantify the absorption, serum concentrations over time, and excretion patterns of soy isoflavones and metabolites in men consuming the two bread products to define relationships between dietary intake, isoflavone metabolism and the biological outcomes.

II. To describe the safety as well as incidence and severity of toxicity in men consuming the control soy bread or beta-glucosidase-enriched soy bread.

III. To see if consumption of beta-glucosidase-enriched soy bread compared to control soy bread has a greater effect on blood hormonal patterns and biomarkers that favor anti-prostate cancer activity.

IV. To see if beta-glucosidase-enriched soy bread compared to control soy bread improves hormonal patterns (lower insulin like growth factor-I, increased insulin like growth factor binding protein 3, lower androgens), reduce prostate specific antigen velocity, and lower circulating vascular endothelial growth factor concentrations.

OUTLINE: Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms (closed to accrual as of 02/14/2011).

ARM I: Patients consume 2 slices of soy bread daily for 8 weeks.

ARM II: Patients consume 2 slices of soy almond bread daily for 8 weeks.

After a 2 week washout period, patients crossover to the alternate treatment arm.

What participants receive

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

  • Arm I Soy BreadDietary supplement

    Also called soy isoflavones, soy phytoestrogens

    On day 0 or day 70 pharmacokinetic study of isoflavones over 24 hours will follow after consumption of 2 slices of soy bread. Afterwards 2 slices of soy bread/day will be consumed for 56 days and isoflavone metabolites will be assessed in urine at days 0, 28, 56, 70, 98, and 126.

  • Arm II Soy-Almond BreadDietary supplement

    Also called soy isoflavones, soy phytoestrogens

    On day 0 or day 70 pharmacokinetic study of isoflavones over 24 hours will follow after consumption of 2 slices of soy-almond bread. Afterwards 2 slices of soy-almond bread/day will be consumed for 56 days and isoflavone metabolites will be assessed in urine at days 0, 28, 56, 70, 98, and 126.

What is being measured

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

  1. Peak plasma concentrations (Cmax) of soy isoflavones and their metabolites

    Quantification of absorption, serum concentrations over time, and excretion patterns of soy isoflavones and metabolites to define relationships between dietary intake, isoflavone metabolism and the biological outcomes

    Measured: 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24 hours post dose

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Change in hormonal patterns after soy bread and soy-almond bread interventions

    Comparison of hormonal patterns (lower insulin like growth factor-I, increased insulin like growth factor binding protein-3, lower androgens), prostate specific antigen velocity, and circulating vascular endothelial growth factor concentrations

    Measured: Day 0, 56, 70, and126

  2. Changes in hormonal patterns that favor anti-prostate cancer activity

    Comparison of isoflavone metabolites on blood hormonal patterns and biomarkers that favor anti-prostate cancer activity.

    Measured: Days 0, 28, 56, 70, 98, and 126

  3. Severity of toxicity in participants after consumption of the control soy bread or beta-glucosidase-enriched soy almond bread

    Safety (NIH criteria) and toxicity will be measured at day 0 (start of first intervention), day 56 (end of first intervention), day 70 (start of second intervention), and day 126 (end of second intervention)

    Measured: Day 0 and Day 126

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Arm I Soy Bread and Arm II Soy-Almond Bread in people with Recurrent Prostate Cancer and Stage IV Prostate Cancer, run by Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center 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 10 inclusion and 5 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 22 Nov 2023. 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?

Peak plasma concentrations (Cmax) of soy isoflavones and their metabolites (time frame: 0, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 24 hours post dose). 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 22 Nov 2023.
