About this study

Official title: The North Carolina-Louisiana Prostate Cancer Project, Project 3 Ancillary Study

The North Carolina-Louisiana Prostate Cancer Project is a population-based case-only study of over 2,000 men newly diagnosed with prostate cancer designed to address racial differences in prostate cancer aggressiveness and survival through a comprehensive evaluation of social, individual, and tumor level influences on prostate cancer aggressiveness. Project 3 specifically aims to examine nutritional modulation of prostate cancer aggressiveness using dietary assessment and biomarker-based data on dietary factors.

Read the detailed description

A total of 2,258 (1,130 African Americans and 1128 European Americans) men newly diagnosed with prostate cancer in North Carolina and Louisiana were enrolled into the study between 2004 and 2009. Participants signed informed consent and were interviewed by a trained nurse who collected information on demographics, occupation, family history, health status, health care, prostate cancer diagnosis and screening history, medication use, anthropometrics, lifestyle factors (e.g., physical activity, smoking), and diet and supplement use. Research subjects were asked to recall their diet in the year prior to prostate cancer diagnosis via a modified version of the National Cancer Institute Diet History Questionnaire. Vitamin and supplement use in the year prior to prostate cancer diagnosis was assessed via a validated questionnaire, and current use was assessed by bottle label inventory. Blood, urine, and adipose tissue samples were collected.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prostatic Neoplasm, run by University of South Carolina.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. 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 17 Apr 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

High aggressive prostate cancer (time frame: Baseline (cross-sectional study)). 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 NCT03289130, which also lists 2 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 17 Apr 2019.
