Phase II Clinical Trial of Purified Isoflavones in Prostate Cancer: Comparing Safety, Effectiveness

Patients will need to take two (2) capsules daily, one with their breakfast and one with their dinner. On the day prior or the day that patients are coming in for their pre-operative surgery blood work, we ask that they take the second dose with lunch, if their appointment is in the afternoon. At the start of the study and at the end of the study (3-6 weeks), patients will undergo interviews, complete questionnaires, and have lab tests to determine if this drug is effective to reduce progression of prostate cancer and is safe to use. Patients will also receive a multivitamin/mineral supplement for the 3-6 weeks that they are on this study and will be required to take one (1) every day. It is required that patients not take any other vitamin/mineral or herbal preparation containing isoflavones and avoid eating or drinking soy products. We anticipate that most patients will be scheduled for a prostatectomy 3-6 weeks (+/- 3 days) from start of study agent. In addition to their first visit, patients will be required to come in the day of the surgery for prostatectomy.
