Trial summary

Biochemical recurrence develops in approximately 30-40% of men with locally advanced prostate cancer who undergo radical prostatectomy. To date, the effect of statins on prostate cancer recurrence has been investigated in several retrospective studies with inconsistent results. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Randomized Double Blind, Placebo-controlled Study Determining the Role of Adjuvant Statin Therapy in Patients Who Underwent Radical Prostatectomy for Locally Advanced Prostate Cancer

Biochemical recurrence develops in approximately 30-40% of men with locally advanced prostate cancer who undergo radical prostatectomy. To date, the effect of statins on prostate cancer recurrence has been investigated in several retrospective studies with inconsistent results. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of statin on biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy for locally advanced prostate cancer.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Atorvastatin 20mg in people with Prostatic Neoplasms, run by Asan Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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 5 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 25 Jan 2022. 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 South Korea. 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 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 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?

Rate of biochemical recurrence (time frame: One year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01759836, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 25 Jan 2022.
