  Purpose
This was a placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized trial designed with the aim of establishing whether curcumin influenced the duration of treatment interruption and rate of prostatic specific antigen(PSA) progression, compared with placebo among men with prostate cancer receiving intermittent androgen deprivation therapy.

Condition Intervention
Prostate Cancer Dietary Supplement: curcumin Dietary Supplement: Placebo

Study Type: Interventional
Study Design: Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Participant, Investigator
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: Comparison of Duration of Treatment Interruption With or Without Curcumin During the Off Treatment Periods in Patients With Prostate Cancer Undergoing Intermittent Androgen Deprivation Therapy : a Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo-controlled Trial

Further study details as provided by Samsung Medical Center:

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Duration of treatment interruption with or without curcumin [ Time Frame: up to 42 months ]
    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


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Mean change in PSA(ng/ml) from baseline between curcumin group versus placebo [ Time Frame: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,12,18,30,42 months ]
    Measure the mean change of PSA at each point from the baseline and compare differences between the two groups

  • Mean change in testosterone(ng/ml) from baseline between curcumin group versus [ Time Frame: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,12,18,30,42 months ]
    Measure the mean change of testosterone at each point from the baseline and compare differences between the two groups

  • Adverse events [ Time Frame: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,12,18,30,42 months ]
    Adverse events were recorded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events(CTCAE). Vital sign, blood test and urine analysis were also performed.

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • patients diagnosed with prostate cancer in biopsy
  • among patients with biochemical recurrence after treatment(radical prostatectomy, radiation therapy, focal therapy, etc.) for localized prostate cancer or metastatic prostate cancer at the time of diagnosis, who received intermittent androgen deprivation therapy(IAD)
