- description
- Participants will be administered a standardized formulation of whole Green Tea Catechin for 24 months. The daily dose of Green Tea Catechin will be taken in divided doses, three capsules in the morning and 3 capsules in the evening, with food (within one hour of eating a substantial meal). On the day of monthly follow-up visit, capsules should be taken within 4 hours of visit and blood draw for required lab work. If the participant is scheduled to come in the afternoon, dose should be taken with lunch that day instead of with dinner for that day.

Exclusion Criteria: * Have had prior treatment for PCa by surgery, irradiation, local ablative (i.e., cryosurgery or high-intensity focused ultrasound), or androgen-deprivation therapy) * Men who are currently treated or those treated in the past 3 months prior to day of randomization with 5- alpha-reductase inhibitors (e.g., finasteride, dutasteride) * Participants who have PCa with distant metastases * Participants who have been treated with: hormone therapy, immunotherapy, chemotherapy and/or radiation, for any malignancies within the past 2 years prior to registration.Patients with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen are eligible for this trial. All patients with metastatic disease will be excluded * Participants may not be receiving any other investigational agents * History of allergic reactions attributed to tea or compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to green tea extracts.
