Study of Pharmacologic Manipulation of AGE (Advanced Glycation Endproducts) Levels in Prostate Cancer Patients Receiving Androgen Deprivation Therapy
- 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
Name Time Method AGE level reduction 85 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
Name Time Method Correlation between changes to AGE level and changes to PSA 85 days Correlation between changes to AGE level and changes to BMI 85 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 IL6 85 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 life 85 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. 4 85 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 leptin 85 days Correlation between AGE levels and c-reactive protein (CRP) 85 days Correlation between AGE levels and sRAGE (soluble receptor for AGE) 85 days
