Long-Term Follow-Up in Patients With Prostate Cancer After Surgery

December 10, 2025 updated by: City of Hope Medical Center

Long-term Follow-up After Prostate Cancer

This clinical trial studies how well a long-term follow-up works in patients with prostate cancer after surgery. Long-term follow-up data may serve as a resource to help ask clinical questions, describe health-related quality of life and long-term complications related, and facilitate future studies focusing on interventions to improve health status and health-related quality of life in prostate cancer survivors.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Active, not recruiting

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To provide comprehensive long-term follow-up care to prostate cancer survivors at the City of Hope who underwent definitive surgical therapy.

II. To use the information obtained from follow-up of prostate cancer survivors who underwent definitive surgical therapy to serve as a resource that will help answer clinical questions, generate and test hypotheses, describe the incidence of long-term complications, and facilitate future studies focusing on interventions for long-term complications of prostate cancer and its therapy.

III. To use the information gained from follow-up of prostate cancer survivors who underwent definitive surgical therapy to describe health-related quality of life (HRQL) concerns and to serve as a resource to facilitate future studies focusing on interventions to improve health status and HRQL in prostate cancer survivors.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo long-term follow-up and receive a written survivorship care plan including comprehensive health evaluation and health education beginning 1 year post surgery.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Child
  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

  • Currently stable disease or no evidence of disease
  • No prior treatment of prostate cancer with radiation or chemotherapy

  • No history of other urologic cancer (e.g., bladder cancer, renal cell carcinoma) in addition to prostate cancer

    • Note: Patients who develop recurrence while participating in the Prostate Cancer Survivorship Clinic will be referred back to their urologist and may resume participation in the Survivorship Clinic when deemed appropriate by their treating physician

Exclusion Criteria:

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
HRQL assessed using Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite
Time Frame: Up to 10 years
Linear mixed effects models can be used to estimate long-term trends and examine the effects of baseline and concomitant factors on these trends.
Up to 10 years
HRQL assessed using Sexual Health Inventory for Men
Time Frame: Up to 10 years
Linear mixed effects models can be used to estimate long-term trends and examine the effects of baseline and concomitant factors on these trends.
Up to 10 years
Incidence rates of the study end-points
Time Frame: Up to 10 years
Incidence rates of the study end-points that may be associated with original diagnosis or treatment received, and delineation of temporal changes in serial measurements and their relationship to time-invariant characteristics such as original diagnosis, race, and education and time-varying characteristics such as age and body mass index will be estimated. Incidence rates may be compared with national standards adjusted for key demographic variables and between patient subgroups.
Up to 10 years
