About this study

Official title: An Investigative, Randomized, Open, Pilot Study to Assess the Tolerability, Safety and Efficacy of HAcid/CS Intravesical Instillations Plus an Oral Combination of Curcumin,Quercetin, HA and CS in Prevention of Radiation Induced Cystitis

The study is randomized and it will be conducted in the field of routine clinical practice. A total of 100 consecutive patients planned to receive radiotherapy for prostate cancer will be enrolled.

The patients will enter the study as controls (50 patients that won't receive any experimental IMP) or as treated-group (50 patients that will be also treated with the experimental IMPs, Ialuril® and Ialuril® Soft Gels) according to a predefined, centre-specific randomization.

Read the detailed description

Radiotherapy will last for 6 weeks. During planning of treatment, regimen and average dose to the whole bladder will be recorded to assess the impact of EBRT on urinary symptoms.

The treated-group will receive also intravesical Ialuril® weekly for 6 weeks (in the 24 hours before every radiation therapy weekly schedule), plus oral treatment with Ialuril® Soft Gels capsules (1 capsule twice a day after meals, at a distance of 12 hours, for 12 weeks).

The control-group will receive radiotherapy only for 6 weeks.

The Primary Objective is to assess the tolerability and safety of HA-CS intravesical instillations (Ialuril®) plus an oral combination of curcumin, quercetin, HA and CS (Ialuril® Soft Gels) in male patients undergoing radiotherapy for prostate cancer The efficacy of the treatment will be evaluated at the end of the study once received all the crfs.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Radiotherapy+IAluril®+Ialuril Soft Gels® and Radiotherapy only in people with Prostate Cancer, run by Study Group for Urogenital Diseases, Italy at 7 sites in 4 countries.

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 1 inclusion and 19 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 23 Jul 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in Italy, Slovakia, Spain, Turkey (Türkiye). 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

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?

Rate of patients (time frame: 12 months). 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 NCT03493997, which also lists 19 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 23 Jul 2020.
