What is being measured

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

  1. Duration of treatment interruption with or without curcumin

    To determine whether the period from the first interruption of the androgen deprivation therapy to the time when androgen deprivation therapy needs to be retreated differ between curcumin group and placebo group

    Measured: up to 42 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Mean change in PSA(ng/ml) from baseline between curcumin group versus placebo

    Measure the mean change of PSA at each point from the baseline and compare differences between the two groups

    Measured: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,12,18,30,42 months

  2. Mean change in testosterone(ng/ml) from baseline between curcumin group versus

    Measure the mean change of testosterone at each point from the baseline and compare differences between the two groups

    Measured: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,12,18,30,42 months

  3. Adverse events

    Adverse events were recorded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events(CTCAE). Vital sign, blood test and urine analysis were also performed.

    Measured: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,12,18,30,42 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing curcumin in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Samsung Medical Center.

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 3 inclusion and 4 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 7 Jul 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

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?

Duration of treatment interruption with or without curcumin (time frame: up to 42 months). 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 NCT03211104, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 7 Jul 2017.
