S0000 Selenium and Vitamin E in Preventing Prostate Cancer

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Prostate Cancer
Interventions
Other: selenium placebo
Other: Vitamin E placebo
Registration Number
NCT00006392
Lead Sponsor
SWOG Cancer Research Network
Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Chemoprevention therapy is the use of certain drugs to try to prevent the development of cancer. It is not yet known which regimen of selenium and/or vitamin E may be more effective in preventing prostate cancer.

PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to determine the effectiveness of selenium and vitamin E, either alone or together, in preventing prostate cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

* Compare the effect of selenium and vitamin E administered alone vs in combination on the clinical incidence of prostate cancer.

* Compare the effect of these prevention regimens on the incidence of lung cancer, colorectal cancer, and all cancers combined in participants on this study.

* Compare the effect of these prevention regimens on prostate cancer-free survival, lung cancer-free survival, colorectal cancer-free survival, cancer-free survival, overall survival, and serious cardiovascular events in these participants.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Prostate CancerEvery six months for 7 to 12 years depending on when the participant was randomized.

Participants are seen at the study site every six month for an update of medical events. Prostate cancer diagnosis is based on participant report followed by the submission of a pathologic sample to central pathology review for confirmation.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Lung CancerParticipants are assessed for medical every six months for 7 to 12 years depending on when he was randomized . Upon diagnosis of prostate cancer, updates are annual.

Participants are seen at the study site every six month for an update of medical events. Cancer diagnoses are based on participant report. Medical records for non-prostate cancers were collected but they were not pathologically confirmed. If the participant has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, study site visits are once a year. Follow-up was planned for seven to 12 years depending on when the participant was randomized.

Number of Participants With Colorectal CancerParticipants are assessed for medical every six months for 7 to 12 years depending on when he was randomized . Upon diagnosis of prostate cancer, updates are annual.

Participants are seen at the study site every six month for an update of medical events. Cancer diagnoses are based on participant report. Medical records for non-prostate cancers were collected but they were not pathologically confirmed. If the participant has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, study site visits are once a year. Follow-up was planned for seven to 12 years depending on when the participant was randomized.

Number of Participants With Any Diagnosis of CancerParticipants are assessed for medical every six months for 7 to 12 years depending on when he was randomized . Upon diagnosis of prostate cancer, updates are annual.

Participants are seen at the study site every six month for an update of medical events. Cancer diagnoses are based on participant report. Medical records for non-prostate cancers were collected but they were not pathologically confirmed. If the participant has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, study site visits are once a year. Follow-up was planned for seven to 12 years depending on when the participant was randomized.

Prostate Cancer Free Survival; Lung Cancer-free Survival, Colorectal Cancer-free Survival, Cancer-free Survival, Overall SurvivalParticipants are assessed for medical every six months for 7 to 12 years depending on when he was randomized . Upon diagnosis of prostate cancer, updates are annual.

Participants are seen at the study site every six month for an update of medical events. If the participant has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, study site visits are once a year. Prostate cancer diagnosis is based on participant report followed by the submission of a pathologic sample to central pathology review for confirmation. Other cancer diagnoses are based on participant report. Medical records for non-prostate cancers were collected but they were not pathologically confirmed. Follow-up was planned for seven to 12 years depending on when the participant was randomized.

Number of Participants With Serious Cardiovascular EventsParticipants are assessed for medical every six months for 7 to 12 years depending on when he was randomized . Upon diagnosis of prostate cancer, updates are annual.

Participants are seen at the study site every six month for an update of medical events. If the participant has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, study site visits are once a year. Cardiovascular events are based on self-report and are not confirmed. Follow-up was planned for seven to 12 years depending on when the participant was randomized.
