Prostate Cancer Clinical Trial
Trial of Quercetin, Bromelain, Rye Flower Pollen & Papain on Reducing Severity of Radiation-Induced Prostatitis
Summary
This study will assess the difference in prostatitis symptoms in men with localized prostate cancer following brachytherapy taking Q-Urol relative to placebo.
Full Description
This is a Phase 2, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial assessing the safety of Q-Urol use after brachytherapy placement in patients with localized prostate cancer. Patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receiveQ-Urol/Placebo twice daily for 6 weeks after brachytherapy placement. Questionnaires will be administered pre- and post-treatment to assess the change in prostatitis symptoms and quality of life measures. The mean values between groups will be compared.
Eligibility Criteria

aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 3 × institutional ULN
Renal:
