Lycopene in Treating Patients With Metastatic 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 Lycopene in Treating Patients With Metastatic Prostate Cancer conditions. Clinical Trials Search.org is a site devoted to listing clinical research studies in human subjects. Lycopene in Treating Patients With Metastatic Prostate Cancer Clinical research trials and Lycopene in Treating Patients With Metastatic 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 Lycopene in Treating Patients With Metastatic Prostate Cancer. Lycopene in Treating Patients With Metastatic 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 Lycopene in Treating Patients With Metastatic Prostate Cancer clinical trial. Test subjects oftentimes recieve the best healthcare possible for their Lycopene in Treating Patients With Metastatic 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.

Lycopene in Treating Patients With Metastatic Prostate Cancer



Lycopene in Treating Patients With Metastatic Prostate Cancer

For Condition: recurrent prostate cancer,stage 4 prostate cancer
Status: Recruiting
Sponsor(s): North Central Cancer Treatment Group , National Cancer Institute (NCI)
Synopsis: RATIONALE: Lycopene, a substance found in tomatoes, may lower prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels and slow or prevent the development of prostate cancer. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of lycopene in treating patients who have asymptomaticmetastatic prostate cancer and a rising PSA level.
Details: OBJECTIVES: Primary - Determine the percentage of patients with asymptomatic androgen-independent metastatic prostate cancer and an elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level who sustain a decline in PSA after 4 months of treatment with lycopene. Secondary - Determine the response duration of PSA decline in patients treated with this therapy. - Determine the time to the first consistent PSA increase in patients treated with this therapy. - Determine whether a decline in PSA coincides with evidence of disease regression on physical examination or radiographic assessment in patients treated with this therapy. - Determine the adverse event profile of this therapy in these patients. - Determine the factors that motivate prostate cancer patients to enroll in a nutritional-based therapy study. OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients receive oral lycopene twice daily on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days for at least 4 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients are followed every 3 months until disease progression and then every 6 months for up to 5 years. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 40 patients will be accrued for this study within 1 year.
Eligibility:
Study Type:
  Interventional, Treatment
