About this study

Official title: Japanese Prostate Cancer Outcome Study by Permanent I-125 Seed Implantation [J-POPS]

RATIONALE: Implant radiation therapy delivers a high dose of radiation directly to the tumor may kill more tumor cells and cause less damage to normal tissue.

PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying the side effects and how well implant radiation therapy using radioactive iodine works in treating patients with localized prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To determine the efficacy of permanent brachytherapy with iodine I 125 seeds in patients with localized prostate cancer.
  • To determine the safety of this therapy in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients undergo permanent brachytherapy seed implantation comprised of iodine I 125 into the prostate. Some patients may receive combination treatment (e.g., external beam radiation therapy (EBRT) or hormone therapy in addition to brachytherapy).

Quality of life and the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) is assessed and compared.

What is being measured

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

  1. PSA relapse-free survival

    Defined as the duration from enrollment to the date of biological relapse, which was defined as three consecutive prostate specific antigen (PSA) rises in the reflex range of 1.0 ng/ml or greater, and the date of failure was the midpoint between the first day that showed PSA levels 1.0 ng/ml or greater and the last day in which the level was below 1.0 ng/ml.

    Measured: 5 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Progression free survival (PFS)

    Dration from enrollment to the date of biochemical relapse or clinical relapse, overall survival (OS), cause-specific survival (CSS).

    Measured: 5 years

  2. Quality of life

    The Japanese version of the SF-8 (the MOS 8 item Short-Form Health Survey), the Japanese version of the Extended Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC) are used for characterizing Longitudinal changes in health-related quality of life (HRQOL), and the EPIC was used to investigate disease-specific quality of life (disease-specific QOL). Patients enrolled between July 2005 - June 2007 will be evaluated.

    Measured: Baseline, Month 3, 12, 24 and 36

  3. IPSS score

    Evaluated by International Prostate Syndrom Score (IPSS)

    Measured: Baseline, Month 3, 12, 24 and 36

  4. Adverse events

    Types and severities of adverse events from date of starting protocol treatment until the first 30 months after date of finishing the treatment are evaluated in the most serious adverse events of each reporting period according to Japanese version of the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 3.0 (CTCAE v3.0) by Translational Research Informatics Center.

    Measured: 36 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prostate Cancer, run by Translational Research Center for Medical Innovation, Kobe, Hyogo, Japan at 31 sites in Japan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 31 sites in Japan. 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?

PSA relapse-free survival (time frame: 5 years). 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 NCT00534196, which also lists 3 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 26 Jun 2023.
