SWOG-S0437
NCT00288106, SWOG-S0437

Objectives

  1. Compare the time to metastases in patients who were diagnosed with high grade or low grade prostate cancer on or before December 31, 2003 and were treated with finasteride or placebo while enrolled on the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial (SWOG-9217).
  2. Compare the difference in time to secondary therapy after definitive therapy with radiotherapy or radical prostatectomy in these patients.
  3. Compare the difference in time to prostate-specific antigen recurrence after definitive therapy with radiotherapy or radical prostatectomy in these patients.
  4. Compare the difference in all-cause and prostate cancer mortality in these patients.

Entry Criteria

Disease Characteristics:

  • Diagnosed with prostate cancer on or before December 31, 2003


  • Previously randomized in the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial SWOG-9217 to receive either finasteride or a placebo


Prior/Concurrent Therapy:

  • See Disease Characteristics

Patient Characteristics:

  • Not specified

Expected Enrollment

2397

Approximately 2,397 patients will be accrued for this study.

Outline

This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to survival status (alive vs deceased).

Patients provide information about their general health, prostate cancer treatment history, prostate cancer status (i.e., disease progression and metastases data), and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test results at baseline and then every 6 months for up to 8 years. Next of kin of deceased patients are asked to release the patients' medical records in order to obtain information about the patients' prostate cancer treatment history, prostate cancer progression and metastases, PSA test results, and cause of death.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol.
