Clinical Trial Summary

This phase II trial studies how well pentoxifylline, atorvastatin, and vitamin E (PAVE) work in treating patients with erectile dysfunction after radiation therapy for prostate cancer. Atorvastatin may reduce high cholesterol. Pentoxifylline and vitamin E may enhance blood flow. Giving PAVE may work better in treating prostate cancer patients with post-radiation therapy erectile dysfunction.


Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To estimate the proportion of patients who achieve a clinically significant improvement in erectile dysfunction (ED) when treated with a combination of atorvastatin or patient's currently prescribed statin, vitamin E, and pentoxifylline (PAVE). SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To report the safety profile of PAVE. II. To report the rate of choosing other ED treatments after PAVE. OUTLINE: Patients receive atorvastatin orally (PO) once daily (QD) for up to 6 weeks in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Beginning week 7, patients receive atorvastatin PO QD, vitamin E PO QD, and pentoxifylline PO thrice daily (TID) for up to 12 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
