Sponsor

University of California, Los Angeles

Enrollment

70 participants

Start Date

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Prostate Cancer Metastatic Disease

Summary

There is a well-documented association between androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and cardiovascular morbidity. A majority of men on ADT gain weight contributing to an increase in cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) and cardiovascular morbidity. Dietary intervention combined with exercise have shown success in reducing weight/fat mass and improving cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF). There is little data on whether African American men would respond to diet and exercise interventions differently from non-Hispanic white men. We will conduct a pilot, controlled two-phase intervention study stratified by race to investigate the following objectives: 1. Compare effect of a hypocaloric, anti-inflammatory diet on changes in fat mass between African- American vs non-Hispanic white men with metastatic prostate cancer on ADT therapy. 2. Compare effect of a hypocaloric, anti-inflammatory diet on changes in cardiovascular risk factors (body weight, lean body mass, waist-to-height ratio, blood pressure, lipids and HbA1C) and inflammatory markers (hs-CRP and cytokines) between African-American vs non-Hispanic white men with metastatic prostate cancer on ADT therapy. 3. Compare effect of a hypocaloric, anti-inflammatory diet on changes in cancer-related fatigue and quality of life between African-American vs non-Hispanic white men with metastatic prostate cancer on ADT therapy. We will enroll 35 African American and 35 non-Hispanic white men with prostate cancer undergoing ADT therapy. In phase 1, after baseline assessment, men will consume their habitual diet and continue their habitual activity level for 3 months. During phase 2, participants will be instructed to consume a hypocaloric (-500 kcal), anti- inflammatory diet and walk for 1 hour on 3 days per week for 3 months. At baseline, after phase 1 and 2 primary outcome (fat mass) and secondary outcomes (CVRF and inflammatory markers) and tertiary outcomes (cancer-related fatigue and quality of life) will be determined.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study explores how race influences the way nutrition and diet affect health outcomes in men with prostate cancer who are receiving androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) — a hormone-suppressing treatment that can cause weight gain and metabolic changes. **You may be eligible if...** - You are a male (African American or non-Hispanic White) over 18 years old - You have been on ADT (hormone therapy for prostate cancer) for more than 12 months - You are expected to continue ADT for at least 6 more months - Your testosterone level is below 50 ng/dL (indicating ADT is working) - Your BMI is above 25 **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are female - You have diabetes or serious heart, liver, or kidney disease, or uncontrolled high blood pressure - You are currently receiving radiation or chemotherapy - Your life expectancy is less than 1 year Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

BEHAVIORALHypocaloric anti-inflammatory diet

The anti-inflammatory hypocaloric diet combines the exclusion of pro- inflammatory constituents and inclusion of anti-inflammatory nutrients. Excluded food items will be refined carbohydrates, soda and alcoholic beverages, ultra- processed foods, smoked foods, fatty foods, packaged foods, canned products, preservatives, emulsifiers, and sauces. Reduce or eliminate red/processed meats. Included food items will be a defined minimum diversity of fruits, vegetables, and nuts based on complementary phytonutrient contents, particularly those rich in phenolic compounds such as ellagitannins and sulforaphanes. Selected herbs (e.g., turmeric, ginger, garlic, black pepper, rosemary, cardamon, cinnamon), green tea, fermented foods, fats (e.g., avocado), and oils (e.g., olive oil) will be encouraged. The goal is to have 5 servings of vegetables, 2 fruits per day, and 5 vegetable color groups per week. Participants will also be asked to reduce their kcal by 500/day and walk for 1 gr 3x per week.
