About this study

Official title: Antioxidant Enzymes and Oxidative DNA Damage in Subjects With 'High-Risk' for Prostate Cancer

RATIONALE: Studying samples of blood in the laboratory from patients who are at high risk of developing prostate cancer may help doctors identify biomarkers related to cancer.

PURPOSE: This research study is looking at blood samples from patients at high risk of developing prostate cancer and from healthy male participants.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

  • To determine whether there are any changes in pro-oxidant-antioxidant profiles in patients who are at high risk for developing prostate cancer.
  • To compare the profiles of these patients with those of healthy controls.

OUTLINE: Participants undergo blood sample collection. Samples are used to measure levels of antioxidant enzymes (i.e., glutathione, glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase, superoxide dismutase, and reduced glutathione) and biomarkers of oxidative stress and DNA damage in leukocytes (i.e., thiobarbituric acid reactive substances [TBARS] and 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine). Samples are analyzed via antioxidant enzyme assay, TBARS assay, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 40 participants (20 at high risk for developing prostate cancer and 20 healthy controls) will be accrued for this study.

Being tested
immunoenzyme technique, laboratory biomarker analysis
Keywords
prostate cancer, high grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia
Medical subject headings

What is being measured

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

  1. Plasma levels of antioxidant enzymes as assessed by antioxidant enzyme assay, TBARS assay, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay

    Blood (5ml) will be drawn from subjects for use in the various assays.

    Measured: at time of study entry

  2. Oxidative DNA damage as assessed by antioxidant enzyme assay, TBARS assay, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Precancerous Condition and Prostate Cancer, run by Case Comprehensive Cancer Center at 3 sites 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?

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 9 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites 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?

Plasma levels of antioxidant enzymes as assessed by antioxidant enzyme assay, TBARS assay, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (time frame: at time of study entry). 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 9 Mar 2016.
