  • Ages Any age
  • Men only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

About this study

Official title: Correlative Analysis of the Genomics of Vitamin D and Omega-3 Fatty Acid Intake in Men Managed With Active Surveillance for Prostate Cancer

The purpose of this study is to see if eating vitamin D, omega 3 and turmeric (curcumin) slows the growth of prostate cancer in men on active surveillance.

Read the detailed description

The primary objective is to investigate the influence of vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, and turmeric curcumin intake on the genomic landscape of NCCN very low and low risk patients managed with Active Surveillance. This will be measured by using genomic signatures in Decipher GRID and using the mixed effect linear model that tests for the interaction of treatment arm and time (base-line, 6 month and 12 month time points) with gene expression as the response variable.

The secondary objective is to evaluate prostate cancer aggressiveness pre and post intervention by looking at genes and gene signatures associated with vitamin D and omega-3 fatty acids pathways. Prognostic performance of GRID gene signatures will be evaluated using Active Surveillance 'Failure' (deferred treatment) as an additional endpoint.

The exploratory objective is to be able to use predictive genes and/or genomic signatures to assess benefit from vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acid and turmeric curcumin intake. This will only be possible once sufficient patient follow up is available.

What is being measured

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

  1. gene expression of very low and low risk prostate cancer patients on Active Surveillance

    The primary objective is to investigate the influence of vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, and turmeric curcumin intake on the genomic landscape of NCCN very low and low risk patients managed with Active Surveillance. This will be measured by using genomic signatures in Decipher GRID and using the mixed effect linear model that tests for the interaction of treatment arm and time

    Measured: Up to 6 months

  2. gene expression of very low and low risk prostate cancer patients on Active Surveillance

    The primary objective is to investigate the influence of vitamin D, omega-3 fatty acids, and turmeric curcumin intake on the genomic landscape of NCCN very low and low risk patients managed with Active Surveillance. This will be measured by using genomic signatures in Decipher GRID and using the mixed effect linear model that tests for the interaction of treatment arm and time

    Measured: Up to 12 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Active Surveillance Failure

    Cox proportional hazards model will be used to study if genes are significantly predictive of this outcome. P-values will be corrected for multiple testing using the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure. Genes will be considered significant if the corresponding p-value is below 0.05 using a two-sided test.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  2. Time to Active Surveillance Failure

    Time to event will be defined as time from enrollment into the study. P-values will be corrected for multiple testing using the Benjamini-Hochberg procedure.

    Measured: Up to 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Vitamin D, Omega-3 and Turmeric in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Case 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 5 inclusion and 3 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 18 Feb 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?

gene expression of very low and low risk prostate cancer patients on Active Surveillance (time frame: Up to 6 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 18 Feb 2020.
