Phase 2
Completed
Conditions
Prostatic Neoplasms
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01759836
Lead Sponsor
Asan Medical Center
Brief Summary

Biochemical recurrence develops in approximately 30-40% of men with locally advanced prostate cancer who undergo radical prostatectomy. To date, the effect of statins on prostate cancer recurrence has been investigated in several retrospective studies with inconsistent results. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of statin on biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy for locally advanced prostate cancer.

Detailed Description

Estimated Enrollment: 354

Study start date: October 2012

Estimated Study Completion Date: October 2015

Statin Group: Treatment with Atorvastatin 20mg daily after radical prostatectomy during 1 year.

Control Group: Treatment with Placebo daily after radical prostatectomy during 1 year.

Follow up: every 3 months for the first year. Check PSA, Total/LDL-cholesterol and Triglyceride.

Primary End Point Rate of Biochemical recurrence

Secondary End Point Clinical progression of prostate cancer Change of Total/LDL- cholesterol and Triglycerides 5 year-Biochemical recurrence free survival
