Calcium With or Without Estrogen and/or Risedronate in Preventing Osteoporosis in Patients with Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Information presented on Clinical Trials Search is not designed to be a substitute for proven healthcare advice, travels to or treatment by using a genuine medical doctor. We are not physicians. Always confer with your doctor on Calcium With or Without Estrogen and/or Risedronate in Preventing Osteoporosis in Patients with Prostate Cancer conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site devoted to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Calcium With or Without Estrogen and/or Risedronate in Preventing Osteoporosis in Patients with Prostate Cancer Clinical research trials and Calcium With or Without Estrogen and/or Risedronate in Preventing Osteoporosis in Patients with Prostate Cancer healthcare trials take place in many of cities across the United States of America. A clinical trial or clinical study is a research project with human volunteer subjects. Clinical drug trials and pharmaceutical clinical trials generally evaluate the effectiveness of new drugs. The function of the studies / undertakings is to answer specific human medical questions. Clinical trials are a popular means for mDs, government agencies, and private sector companies to find treatments for all forms of conditions, including Calcium With or Without Estrogen and/or Risedronate in Preventing Osteoporosis in Patients with Prostate Cancer. Calcium With or Without Estrogen and/or Risedronate in Preventing Osteoporosis in Patients with Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials and other clinical trials allow for volunteers to access medical treatment alternatives before they are available to the masses. Many times the test subjects undergo treatment for without cost, and occasionally they are compensated for their time. Occasionally there is a cost for a Calcium With or Without Estrogen and/or Risedronate in Preventing Osteoporosis in Patients with Prostate Cancer clinical trial. Test subjects oftentimes recieve the best healthcare possible for their Calcium With or Without Estrogen and/or Risedronate in Preventing Osteoporosis in Patients with Prostate Cancer condition. Hazards are a reality, nonetheless, and might include additional or frequent doctor trips, healthcare hazards (perhaps life-jeopardizing), and/or the treatment being ineffective. Trials are federally regulated with rigid guidelines to protect clinical trials subjects.

Calcium With or Without Estrogen and/or Risedronate in Preventing Osteoporosis in Patients with Prostate Cancer



Calcium With or Without Estrogen and/or Risedronate in Preventing Osteoporosis in Patients with Prostate Cancer

For Condition: stage 1 prostate cancer,Osteoporosis,stage 3 prostate cancer,stage 2 prostate cancer
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): North Central Cancer Treatment Group , National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Preventing bone loss in patients who are undergoing androgen ablation for prostate cancer may decrease the risk of fractures and may help patients live more comfortably. It is not yet known whether calcium is more effective with or without estrogen and/or risedronate in preventing osteoporosis. PURPOSE: Randomizedphase III trial to compare the effectiveness of two forms of calcium with or without estrogen and/or risedronate in preventing osteoporosis in patients with prostate cancer who are receiving androgen ablation therapy.
Details: OBJECTIVES: - Compare the change in bone mineral density in patients with prostate cancer who are receiving androgen-ablation therapy treated with calcium and cholecalciferol with or without conjugated estrogens and with or without risedronate. - Compare the toxicity of these regimens in these patients. - Compare the changes in bone markers in patients treated with these regimens. - Compare the quality of life of patients treated with these regimens. - Compare hot flashes in patients treated with these regimens. OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to duration of therapy with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonists (no more than 30 days vs 31 to 150 days vs 151 to 365 days vs more than 365 days). Patients are randomized to 1 of 4 treatment arms. - Arm I: Patients receive oral calcium, oral cholecalciferol, oral risedronate placebo, and oral estrogen placebo daily. - Arm II: Patients receive oral calcium, oral cholecalciferol, oral risedronate, and oral estrogen placebo daily. - Arm III: Patients receive oral calcium, oral cholecalciferol, low-dose oral conjugated estrogens, and oral risedronate placebo daily. - Arm IV: Patients receive oral calcium, oral cholecalciferol, low-dose oral conjugated estrogens, and oral risedronate daily. Treatment in all arms continues for 2 years. Quality of life is assessed at baseline, monthly for 6 months, and then at 1 and 2 years. Bone mineral density is assessed at baseline, 6 months, and 1 and 2 years. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 282 patients (70 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study within 14 months.
