Moffitt is Looking for Green Tea Study Participants

We know how green tea has become popular for its anti-cancer ingredients.

Now, Moffitt Cancer Center is looking for volunteers/participants in a green tea study:

Moffitt Cancer Center is looking to recruit and treat 240 men and evaluate safety and effectiveness of Polyphenon E, a drug developed from green tea, in preventing the progression of early signs of prostate cancer.

The goal is to also assess if Polyphenon E reduces urinary tract symptoms that men experience with this condition.

The following male participants are needed:

• between the ages of 30 and 80
• have had a biopsy-proven high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN)
• have no prior history of other cancers (other than nonmelanoma skin cancer)
• have no history of liver disease
• have the ability to take the study drug and comply with scheduled monthly visits for one year
