Trial Outcomes & Findings for Randomized Trial of Ciprofloxacin Versus Observation for Men With Elevated Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) (NCT NCT00840294)

NCT ID: NCT00840294

Last Updated: 2014-08-01

Results Overview

To assess the impact of ciprofloxacin on the change in PSA from baseline/randomization to prostate biopsy which occurs 21-45 days after randomization. Due to the skewness of the data, the log transformation was used and the outcome used was the log(PSA level post-treatment, at time of biopsy) - log(PSA level baseline).
