Summary
Study start date: November 1, 2001
Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.OBJECTIVES: * Compare blood/prostate biomarkers of oxidative stress and prostate cancer risk in patients with stage I or II adenocarcinoma of the prostate treated with 3 different dose levels of soy isoflavones before radical prostatectomy. * Compare prostatic tissue biomarkers of proliferation and apoptosis in patients treated with these regimens. * Determine the potential response, in terms of tumor and prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia grade and volume, extraprostatic extension, and serum prostate-specific antigen level, in patients treated with soy isoflavones and in those treated with placebo. * Determine the safety of soy isoflavone supplementation in these patients. OUTLINE: This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study. Patients are stratified according to tumor stage (T1c vs T2). Patients are randomized to 1 of 4 treatment arms. * Arm I (control group): Patients receive oral placebo once daily. * Arm II: Patients receive oral soy isoflavones and oral placebo once daily. * Arm III: Patients receive a higher dose of oral soy isoflavones and oral placebo once daily. * Arm IV: Patients receive a higher dose (higher than arm III) of oral soy isoflavones once daily. In all arms, treatment continues for 2-6 weeks (depending on the time from study entry to planned surgery) in the absence of unacceptable toxicity. All patients then undergo radical prostatectomy. Patients are followed at 1 week. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 100 patients (25 per treatment arm) will be accrued for this study within 12.5 months.
