Study of Pharmacologic Manipulation of AGE (Advanced Glycation Endproducts) Levels in Prostate Cancer Patients Receiving Androgen Deprivation Therapy

Phase 2
Terminated
Conditions
Prostate Cancer
Interventions
Drug: Metformin
Other: OPC
Registration Number
NCT02946996
Lead Sponsor
Medical University of South Carolina
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to look at the effect that the study drug OPC has on AGE levels in patients with prostate cancer.

Detailed Description

AGEs are a type of metabolite, or substance, found in the food. The AGE content in food is determined by the types of food you eat and also how you prepare your food. The researchers helping conduct this study have found a potential link between AGE levels and cancer. The purpose of this study is to see if Oligomeric Procyanidin Complex (OPC) has an effect on the AGE levels in your blood and to see if those AGE levels have an effect on your cancer.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
AGE level reduction85 days

The primary objective is to determine if any of the test agent are able to reduce AGE levels by an average of 30% (or greater) in 50% or more of test subjects.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Correlation between changes to AGE level and changes to PSA85 days
Correlation between changes to AGE level and changes to BMI85 days
Correlations between changes to AGE level and changes to testosterone.85 days
Correlation between changes to AGE level and changes to A1C.85 days
Correlation between AGE levels and plasma IL685 days
Correlation between AGE levels and oxLDLs (low density lipoprotein)85 days
Correlation between changes to AGE level and changes to insulin resistance (HOMA-IR)85 days
Correlation between changes to AGE level and changes to lipids.85 days
Correlation between changes to AGE level and changes to quality of life85 days
Correlation between AGE levels and malondialdehyde (MDA)85 days
Correlation between changes to AGE level and changes to diet.85 days
Frequency of adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v. 485 days

Toxicities will be tabulated per arm by type and grade and the proportion of patients with grade 3, grade 4 or an SAE will be estimated with a 90% confidence interval.

Correlation between AGE levels and leptin85 days
Correlation between AGE levels and c-reactive protein (CRP)85 days
Correlation between AGE levels and sRAGE (soluble receptor for AGE)85 days
