About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Prostate Cancer focused on measuring intermittent androgen deprivation therapy, curcumin
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- patients diagnosed with prostate cancer in biopsy
- among patients with biochemical recurrence after treatment(radical prostatectomy, radiation therapy, focal therapy, etc.) for localized prostate cancer or metastatic prostate cancer at the time of diagnosis, who received intermittent androgen deprivation therapy(IAD)
- patients who off-treatment for the first time by receiving androgen deprivation therapy(ADT) for more than 6 months and PSA nadir remained stable for more than 3 months
Exclusion Criteria:
- previous history of IAD
- patient with other serious or ongoing medical or psychiatric disease other than prostate cancer
- hypersensitivity or suspicious of curcumin
- history of taking health supplements containing curcumin for prostate cancer treatment before 6 months of clinical trial participation

Placebo Comparator
Arm Label
curcumin
control
Arm Description
Curcumin extracted from curcuma longa linn. formulation : curcumin powder 240mg/capsule general name : Diferuloylmethane Taking curcumin 3 times a day(1,440mg/day) for 6 months at the first off treatment in patients with prostate cancer receiving intermittent androgen deprivation therapy
The control group Take a placebo containing lactose and vitamin B2. Reddish brown capsules with the same shape as curcumin.
Outcomes
Primary Outcome Measures
Duration of treatment interruption with or without curcumin
To determine whether the period from the first interruption of the androgen deprivation therapy to the time when androgen deprivation therapy needs to be retreated differ between curcumin group and placebo group
Secondary Outcome Measures
Mean change in PSA(ng/ml) from baseline between curcumin group versus placebo
Measure the mean change of PSA at each point from the baseline and compare differences between the two groups
Mean change in testosterone(ng/ml) from baseline between curcumin group versus
Measure the mean change of testosterone at each point from the baseline and compare differences between the two groups
Adverse events
Adverse events were recorded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events(CTCAE). Vital sign, blood test and urine analysis were also performed.

Brief Summary
This was a placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomized trial designed with the aim of establishing whether curcumin influenced the duration of treatment interruption and rate of prostatic specific antigen(PSA) progression, compared with placebo among men with prostate cancer receiving intermittent androgen deprivation therapy.
