Study Overview

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Dietary supplementation with soy may keep prostate cancer from growing in patients planning to undergo surgery.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase II trial is studying a soy supplement to see how well it works compared to a placebo in treating patients undergoing surgery for localized prostate cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Compare the effect of dietary supplementation with soy vs placebo on biomarkers of cell cycle regulation, proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, and signaling pathways in patients with localized prostate cancer scheduled to undergo radical prostatectomy.

Secondary

  • Compare the toxicity and side effects of these regimens in these patients.
  • Compare the dietary patterns of these patients.

Arms & Interventions

Arm I

Experimental

Patients receive oral soy supplementation daily for 4 weeks. Patients undergo radical prostatectomy within 21 days after completion of soy supplementation.

Intervention: soy isoflavones (Dietary Supplement)

Arm I

Experimental

Patients receive oral soy supplementation daily for 4 weeks. Patients undergo radical prostatectomy within 21 days after completion of soy supplementation.

Intervention: soy protein isolate (Dietary Supplement)

Arm II

Placebo Comparator

Patients receive oral placebo supplementation daily for 4 weeks. Patients undergo radical prostatectomy within 21 days after completion of placebo supplementation.

Intervention: placebo (Other)

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Correlation of pretreatment ER-β expression with response to soy supplementation

Time Frame: within 21 days after completetion of supplement regimen

after a 4 week therapy, within 21 days, a Radical Prostatectomy will be performed, and after that ER-β expression will be measured.

Secondary Outcomes

No secondary outcomes reported
