This research is being done to test an investigational product called Muscadine Plus in the treatment of men who have received initial therapy (surgery and or radiation, cryotherapy or brachytherapy) for prostate cancer and are experiencing a rise in their prostate-specific antigens (PSA) level.

In phase I the investigators are evaluating the safety of the product and checking blood levels of the active components. In phase II the investigators are evaluating the effect of MPX on PSA doubling time

Arm 1: participants in dose-escalation phase (Phase 1) Arms 2-4: Randomized, double-blind (Phase 2); control, low-dose, high-dose

Phase 1 (Arms 1) - open label Phase 2 (Arms 2-4) - randomized, double-blind

Effects of Two Doses of MPX Capsules on Rising Prostate-specific Antigen Levels in Men Following Initial Therapy for Prostate Cancer

Phase I/II Study of Safety and Efficacy of Muscadine Plus (MPX) in Men With Prostate Cancer: a Randomized,Double-blind,Placebo Controlled Study of the Effects of Two Doses of MPX Capsules on Rising Prostate-specific Antigen Levels in Men Following Initial Therapy for Prostate Cancer

To determine the recommended dosing for Muscadine Plus and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Muscadine Plus in prostate cancer patients with rising PSA following definitive therapy.

To define the effects of placebo and two different daily doses of MPX on PSADT in men who have rising PSA after initial definitive therapy for localized prostate cancer.

Adverse events reported verbally by patient and documented in study notes.

Change in PSA values drawn over study period, taken every 3 months. PSA is measured in ng/mL

Region of Enrollment

The Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) scale is a measure of performance status with 0 (fully active) as the best score and 1 being restricted to physically strenuous activity.

Baseline characteristics were not collected for subjects who withdrew from the study. ECOG was not analyzed in the dose-escalation phase.

The gleason score is an indication of prognosis based on prostate pathology. The score ranges from 2 to 10 with a higher score reflecting less-differentiated tumors with worse prognosis. The total score is a sum of two numbers which are based on the microscopic appearance of cells. The first number is the score based on the dominant, cell morphology (scored 1-5) and the second number is based on the highest grade of the non-dominant cell pattern (scored 1-5).

Gleason score was recorded differently in the dose-escalation phase and phase 2.

Baseline PSADT was recorded as a mean in the dose-escalation phase, versus as number of participants with greater than or less than 9 months PSADT in Phase 2.

Number of Participants With Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability

Data was not collected for this secondary outcome measure.
