NCT02090114

Brief Summary

Single-arm, single site, open label study of the effects of parenteral testosterone followed by enzalutamide, abiraterone or castration-only therapy in men with metastatic CRPC who previously progressed on one of these forms of therapy. The study will enroll four cohorts of patients: men with metastatic CRPC who have progressed on enzalutamide (Cohort A; n=30); men with metastatic CRPC who have progressed on abiraterone acetate (Cohort B; n=30); men with metastatic CRPC who have progressed on first line castration-only therapy (Cohort C; n=30); men with metastatic CRPC with inactivating somatic or germline mutations in ≥2 of the genes TP53, PTEN, or RB1 (Cohort D; n=20).

Study Arms (4)

Cohort A:Post-enzalutamide

EXPERIMENTAL

Men with castration-resistant prostate cancer who have progressed on enzalutamide will be enrolled to this cohort. These patients will then receive intramuscular injections with testosterone cypionate 400 mg every 28 days or testosterone enanthate 400 mg every 28 days. Upon progression on testosterone cypionate or enanthate, men will be retreated with enzalutamide 160 mg by mouth daily.

Drug: Testosterone cypionateDrug: Testosterone EnanthateDrug: Enzalutamide

Cohort B: Post-abiraterone

EXPERIMENTAL

Men with castration-resistant prostate cancer who have progressed on abiraterone will be enrolled to this cohort. These patients will then receive intramuscular injections with testosterone cypionate 400 mg every 28 days or testosterone enanthate 400 mg every 28 days. Upon progression on testosterone cypionate or enanthate, men will be retreated with abiraterone 1000 mg by mouth daily.

Drug: Testosterone cypionateDrug: Testosterone EnanthateDrug: Abiraterone acetate

Cohort C: Castration Only

EXPERIMENTAL

Men with metastatic prostate cancer who have only received first line hormone therapy with LHRH agonist alone or LHRH agonist plus an anti-androgen. Patients who have developed castrate resistance to first line therapy and have then received second line hormone therapy of any kind (including flutamide, bicalutamide, nilutamide, ketoconazole, abiraterone, enzalutamide, ARN-509 and investigational anti-androgens) are not eligible for enrollment in this cohort.

Drug: Testosterone cypionateDrug: Testosterone Enanthate

Cohort D: Mutation

EXPERIMENTAL

Men with metastatic prostate cancer who have castrate resistant prostate cancer with inactivating somatic or germline mutations in the genes TP53, RB1 or PTEN identified using clinical grade sequencing of tumor tissue performed by qualified laboratory. Patients must have mutations in ≥2 of these genes to be eligible. Eligible patients must have progressed on first line hormone therapy with LHRH agonist alone and must have received at least one but not more than two second generation androgen ablative therapy (i.e. Abiraterone, Enzalutamide or Apalutamide).

Drug: Testosterone cypionateDrug: Testosterone Enanthate

Interventions

DEPO-Testosterone Injection, for intramuscular injection, contains testosterone cypionate which is the oil-soluble of the androgenic hormone testosterone. Testosterone cypionate is a white or creamy white crystalline powder, odorless or nearly so and stable in air. DEPO-Testosterone Injection is available in two strengths, 100 mg/mL and 200 mg/mL testosterone cypionate and will be administered at 400mg IM every 28 days.

Also known as: DEPO-Testosterone Injection
Cohort A:Post-enzalutamideCohort B: Post-abirateroneCohort C: Castration OnlyCohort D: Mutation

Testosterone Enanthate Injection, for intramuscular injection, contains testosterone enanthate which is the oil-soluble ester of the androgenic hormone testosterone. Enanthate Injection is available as a colorless to pale yellow solution. Each mL contains 200 mg testosterone enanthate in sesame oil with 5 mg chlorobutanol as a preservative. Will be administered at 400mg IM every 28 days.

Also known as: Delatestryl
Cohort A:Post-enzalutamideCohort B: Post-abirateroneCohort C: Castration OnlyCohort D: Mutation

Abiraterone is an inhibitor of CYP17 (17α-hydroxylase/C17,20-lyase). Each ZYTIGA tablet contains 250 mg of abiraterone acetate.

Also known as: Zytiga
Cohort B: Post-abiraterone

XTANDI is provided as liquid-filled soft gelatin capsules for oral administration. Each capsule contains 40 mg of enzalutamide as a solution in caprylocaproyl polyoxylglycerides.

Also known as: Xtandi
Cohort A:Post-enzalutamide

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexmale
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Performance status ≤2
  • Age ≥18 years
  • Histologically-confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate
  • Progressing on continuous androgen ablative therapy (either surgical castration or LHRH agonist).
  • Documented castrate level of serum testosterone (\<50 ng/dl).
  • For Cohorts A and B, patients must have progressed on prior treatment with enzalutamide or abiraterone acetate + prednisone (by PSA criteria or radiographically).
  • For castration-only Cohort C, patients must have developed castrate resistant prostate cancer after progressing on first line hormone therapy with either surgical castration or LHRH agonist or LHRH agonist plus an anti-androgen.
  • For Cohort D patients must have inactivating somatic or germline mutations in ≥2 of the genes TP53, PTEN, RB1
  • Patients progressing on LHRH agonist plus an anti-androgen as first line therapy must be off anti-androgen for 4 weeks prior to first treatment with testosterone.
  • Patients with rising PSA on two successive measurements at least two weeks apart.
  • For Cohort A (enzalutamide) and Cohort B (abiraterone acetate):
  • Prior treatment with up to 2 additional second line hormone therapies, including ketoconazole is allowed.
  • Patients who have progressed on both enzalutamide and abiraterone acetate are eligible and post-BAT will be retreated with the last second line agent they had received (e.g. patient receiving abiraterone then enzalutamide would receive retreatment with enzalutamide post-BAT).
  • Patients must be withdrawn from enzalutamide or abiraterone acetate for ≥ 4 weeks and have documented PSA increase after the withdrawal period.
  • Patients receiving prednisone in conjunction with abiraterone acetate must be weaned off prednisone prior to starting BAT.
  • +20 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Pain due to metastatic prostate cancer requiring opioid analgesics.
  • \>5 sites of visceral disease in lung or liver (nonspecific lung nodules ≤1 cm in diameter are permitted).
  • Prior treatment with docetaxel or cabazitaxel for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer is prohibited.
  • Prior treatment with one line of chemotherapy for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer is allowed for Cohort D
  • Requires urinary catheterization for voiding due to obstruction secondary to prostatic enlargement thought to be due to prostate cancer or benign prostatic hyperplasia
  • Evidence of disease in sites or extent that, in the opinion of the investigator, would put the patient at risk from therapy with testosterone (e.g. femoral metastases with concern over fracture risk, spinal metastases with concern over spinal cord compression, lymph node disease with concern for ureteral obstruction).
  • Evidence of serious and/or unstable pre-existing medical, psychiatric or other condition (including laboratory abnormalities) that could interfere with patient safety or provision of informed consent to participate in this study.
  • Active uncontrolled infection, including known history of AIDS or hepatitis B or C.
  • Any psychological, familial, sociological, or geographical condition that could potentially interfere with compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule.
  • Prior history of a thromboembolic event within the last two years and not currently on systemic anticoagulation.
  • Hematocrit \>50%, untreated severe obstructive sleep apnea, uncontrolled or poorly controlled heart failure \[per Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guidelines (67)\].
