简要总结

RATIONALE: Pomegranate extract may keep prostate cancer from growing in patients with rising prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels after surgery or radiation therapy for localized prostate cancer.

PURPOSE: This randomized trial is studying how well pomegranate extract works in treating patients with rising PSA levels after surgery or radiation therapy for localized prostate cancer.

详细描述

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Evaluate the effects of pomegranate extract in patients with and rising prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels after surgery or radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer.
  • Determine the effect of a daily oral dose of pomegranate extract on the absolute value of PSA and on the change in PSA doubling time in these patients.

Secondary

  • Assess toxicities associated with daily oral dosing of pomegranate extract in these patients.
  • Determine the effect of pomegranate extract on positive PSA doubling-time outcome, defined as greater than 150% baseline or a negative post-treatment PSA doubling time (i.e., declining PSA).

入选标准

  • DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:
  • Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate
  • Must have completed prior surgery, cryotherapy, or radiotherapy for the primary tumor
  • Documented rising prostate-specific antigen (PSA)
  • Absolute level of PSA > 0.2 ng/mL after surgery
  • Absolute level of PSA > 1.0 ng/mL after radiation or cryotherapy
  • Absolute level of PSA ≥ 0.4 ng/mL after multiple treatment modalities (e.g., surgery with radiotherapy or radiotherapy with cryotherapy)
  • PSA must be ≥ 100% above best nadir achieved
  • PSA doubling time > 3 months or ≤ 24 months
  • Patients must have ≥ 3 rising PSA time points above the minimum nadir achieved over ≥ 6 months
  • The interval between PSA time points must be > 2 weeks
  • PSA ≤ 7.0 ng/mL
  • Patients who underwent radical prostatectomy and never achieved undetectable serum PSA after surgery are not eligible
  • Gleason score ≤ 7
  • No histologically positive lymph nodes
  • No evidence of metastatic disease by physical examination, CT scan, or bone scan
  • PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:
  • Life expectancy ≥ 6 months
  • ECOG performance status 0 or 1
  • No significant concomitant medical or psychiatric conditions that would limit study compliance
  • No known allergies to pomegranate extract
  • No known diabetes with hemoglobin A_1c level > 7.0% in the past 3 months
  • Diabetic patients entering study who have not had hemoglobin A_1c level measured in the past 3 months must have levels measured at study initiation
  • No clinically abnormal laboratory values > 2 times the upper limit of normal
  • PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:
  • See Disease Characteristics
  • More than 4 weeks since prior and no concurrent experimental drugs, high-dose steroids, or other cancer treatment
  • No hormonal therapy, with the exception of neoadjuvant androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT), prior to or concurrent with primary therapy
  • Patients who received prior neoadjuvant ADT must have serum testosterone ≥ 150 ng/dL
  • No prior or concurrent hormonal therapy for rising PSA after primary therapy for prostate cancer
  • No finasteride or dutasteride at any time point after primary therapy and during study therapy
  • No other concurrent commercial pomegranate products
  • No other concurrent systemic or local therapy for prostate cancer
  • Concurrent dietary/herbal supplements (e.g., saw palmetto or selenium) allowed provided dose has been stable for ≥ 2 months prior to study entry and there are no plans to change or stop the supplements during study therapy
