简要总结

No treatments have been shown to slow prostate cancer progression after radical prostatectomy. We hypothesize that a carbohydrate restricted diet will slow prostate cancer growth. A total of 60 men with a rising prostate-specific antigen (PSA) after failed primary treatment will be recruited and randomized to either a low-carbohydrate diet (<20 grams carbohydrates/day) or a no-diet control (standard of care) for 6 months. The primary outcome is PSA doubling time.

入选标准

  • Received prior radical prostatectomy or definitive local radiation for prostate cancer (either external beam radiation, brachytherapy, or combination)
  • PSA within the past 3 months is between 0.4 and 20 if prior radical prostatectomy, or between 3 and 20 ng/ml if prior radiation therapy.
  • PSA doubling time (PSADT) >3 months and <36 months
  • Calculated based at least 2 values (at least 0.2) in the prior 2 years with the first and last PSA separated by at least 3 months
  • Use all values in the last 2 years to calculate PSADT
  • PSADT calculated while NOT on androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).
  • If prior ADT use, then documented either A) normal testosterone or B) a testosterone within 50 points of normal and stable (defined as a second testosterone at least 6 weeks later that is equal or lower than the first testosterone) is required before starting to calculate PSADT.
  • BMI >=24 kg/m2
  • Willing to be randomized to a no-diet control or a low-carbohydrate diet
  • Reads, writes, and understands English

排除标准

  • Anticipate needing secondary prostate cancer therapy within the next 6 months (i.e. radiation, or hormonal therapy)
  • Current use of weight loss medications including herbal weight loss supplements or enrolled in a diet/weight loss program
  • Currently on therapy aimed at lowering testosterone levels (includes gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist/antagonist, prior bilateral orchiectomy, oral anti-androgens, or 5-alpha reductase inhibitors). Testosterone replacement is allowed but treatment should be stable during the entire study.
  • Known distant metastatic disease
  • Already consuming a carbohydrate-restricted or vegetarian diet
  • Unable or unwilling to adhere to a carbohydrate-restricted dietary intervention
  • Weight loss >5% of body weight in the last 6 months
  • Medical comorbidities that in the opinion of the investigator limits the patient's ability to complete this study

研究组 & 干预措施

Low carbohydrate, lifestyle counseling

Active Comparator

干预措施: Low carbohydrate diet (Behavioral)

Control

No Intervention

The control arm will receive no dietary intervention.

结局指标

主要结局

PSA doubling time (change in PSA over time)

时间窗: Baseline, 3 and 6 months

PSA doubling time will be estimated from PSA measured at baseline, 3 and 6 months post randomization.
