Can a natural supplement tame prostate cancer? new trial investigates

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants who have pathologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate with formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) biopsy tissue available for analysis, including those on active surveillance. Most recent biopsy can be any time in the six months prior to registration/randomization * Participants \>= 18 years will be enrolled. Because no dosing or adverse event (AE) data are currently available on the use of urolithin A in participants \< 18 years of age, children and adolescents are excluded from this study * Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected participants on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible for this trial * For participants with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the HBV viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated * Participants with a history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection must have been treated and cured. For patients with HCV infection who are currently on treatment, they are eligible if they have an undetectable HCV viral load * Participants on chronic suppressive antiviral therapy for herpes simplex virus (HSV) are eligible * Scheduled to undergo RP in the next 3-6 weeks * Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document Exclusion Criteria: * Participants with prior primary treatment or hormonal therapy for prostate cancer (PC) * Participants with documented active alcohol and illegal substance dependency * Participants already receiving urolithin A (Mitopure, commercially available in the United States), or pomegranate supplements. Note: Other supplements are allowed but must be documented * Participants receiving any other investigational agents * History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to urolithin A * Uncontrolled intercurrent illness, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements
