Scientific titleThe feasibility of a randomised controlled trial of dietary interventions for men at high risk of prostate cancer: the ProDiet study
Study acronymProDiet
Study objectivesThis study aims to investigate the feasibility of recruiting men identified with an increased risk of prostate cancer into a randomised trial of dietary modification. Secondly, to investigate whether dietary modification results in elevated serum levels of the biological active dietary agents.
Ethics approval(s)Trent Multi-centre Research Ethics Committee (MREC), approved on 16/12/2008 (ref: 08/H0405/61)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedProstate cancer
InterventionParticipants will each be randomly allocated to one of three lycopene-based/matched placebo interventions, and one of three green-tea-based/placebo interventions. Men will be asked to follow their allocated interventions for six months.

Lycopene-based interventions:
1. Dietary advice regarding a daily portion of cooked tomatoes (rich in Lycopene) plus matched placebo tablets
2. Tomato-derived lycopene supplement capsules (oral) daily (30 mg) with control dietary advice recommending five daily portions of fruit and vegetables
3. Control dietary advice recommending five daily portions of fruit and vegetables plus matched placebo tablets

Green-tea-based interventions:
A. Green tea capsules (oral) at 800 mg daily
B. Matched placebo supplement capsules
C. Advice to increase consumption of green tea
Intervention typeSupplement
Primary outcome measureSerum lycopene and epigallocatechin-3-gallate (green tea) levels at six months following randomisation
Secondary outcome measures1. Trial recruitment and randomisation rates (measured at each stage of the study flowchart)
2. Intervention tolerability (adverse event reporting during the six months of follow-up)
3. Compliance (returned tablet counts and self reported counts at six months)
4. Trial retention (participants completing the six month follow-up and the questionnaires)
5. PSA values (measured at one and six months)
6. Dietary compliance with recommendations (dietary questionnaire completed at six months and participant data reporting dietary change)
7. Weight and body mass index (measured at one and six months) to assess whether the interventions have beneficial or deleterious effects on weight
8. Blood pressure (measured at one and six months) to assess whether there are any overall health benefits to the healthy diets
9. Attitudes and views of men and their spouses about dietary modification and participation in long term trials. Only a subset of participants will be included in this part of the study (one qualitative interview per participant; conducted throughout the study).
10. Anxiety, depression and pschycological state - measured by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and the Profile of Moods States at enrolment, one month and six months
11. Urinary symptoms - measured at enrolment, one month and six months by the International Continence Society 'male short-form' (ICSmaleSF) questionnaire, which includes voiding and incontinence scores, nocturia, frequency and urinary-specific quality of life care data sources
