Official Title: R01 CA90759: The Effects of Lycopene on High Risk Prostatic Tissue
Study ID: NCT01443026
Brief Summary: The purpose of this research study is to compare the effects of a lycopene supplement made from tomatoes to a placebo (a capsule with no active ingredients) in men who have abnormal cells in the prostate, but have not yet had cancer detected. This study will allow us to see if taking lycopene for six months leads to favorable changes in abnormal prostate tissue and in chemicals measured in the blood that go along with a higher risk of developing cancer.
