Trial Information

ProDiet - Prostate and Diet Study


OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- To assess serum lycopene and epigallocatechin-3-gallate (green tea) levels at 6 months
following randomization in patients with prostate cancer previously enrolled on
RADCLIFFE-PROTECT and currently enrolled on CRUK-ProMPT treated with lycopene versus
green tea.

Secondary

- To evaluate trial recruitment and randomization rates of patients treated with this
regimen.

- To evaluate intervention tolerability in patients treated with this regimen.

- To evaluate compliance of patients treated with this regimen.

- To evaluate trial retention of patients treated with this regimen.

- To assess PSA values in patients treated with this regimen.

- To evaluate dietary compliance with recommendations of patients treated with this
regimen.

- To assess weight and body mass index of patients treated with this regimen.

- To evaluate attitudes and views of men and their spouses about dietary modification and
participation in long-term study.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to PSA test levels
obtained from RADCLIFFE-PROTECT study recruitment clinic (< 3.0 ng/mL vs 3.0-19.99 ng/mL).
Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

- Arm I (lycopene): Patients receive 1 of the following treatment regimes.

- Regimen 1: Patients receive dietary advice regarding a daily portion of cooked
tomatoes rich in lycopene. Patients also receive oral placebo capsules once daily.

- Regimen 2: Patients also receive dietary advice recommending 5 daily portions of
fruit and vegetables. Patients also receive tomato-derived lycopene supplement
capsules once daily. .

- Regimen 3: Patients receive healthy dietary advice. Patients also receive oral
placebo capsules once daily.

- Arm II (green tea): Patients receive 1 of the following treatment regimes.

- Regimen 1: Patients receive oral green tea capsules once daily.

- Regimen 2: Patients receive oral placebo capsules once daily.

- Regimen 3: Patients receive dietary advice regarding drinking green tea. Patients
complete quality-of-life questionnaires on urinary symptoms (ICSmaleSF
questionnaire/FTQ1), general health status [Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale
(HAD) and Profile of Moods States], and current diet (Food Frequency
Questionnaire/FTQ1a) periodically.

Patients are followed at 1 and 6 months after randomization.
