Brief Summary

This phase II trial compares the effect of time-restricted eating (TRE) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP1) receptor agonists (RA), semaglutide and tirzepatide, to an American Heart Association (AHA) heart healthy diet (HHD) intervention on heart and blood vessel health (cardiovascular system) and how the body processes food for energy (metabolic system) in prostate cancer patients undergoing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). Prostate cancer patients who are receiving hormonal therapy (ADT) are at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. This is thought to be due to treatment-related metabolic changes which may result in increased weight, body fat, insulin resistance and an increased risk of heart attack, stroke or other heart and blood vessel problems. TRE (also known as intermittent fasting) is an eating plan that alternates between fasting and non-fasting periods. This approach limits calorie intake to a specific window of time each day. GLP1-RAs, semaglutide and tirzepatide are in a class of medications called incretin mimetics. They work by helping the pancreas to release the right amount of insulin when blood sugar levels are high. Insulin helps move sugar from the blood into other body tissues where it is used for energy. They also slow the movement of food through the stomach and may decrease appetite and cause weight loss. The AHA HHD guidelines may be an effective method to help people learn about following a heart healthy eating plan. This may lower their risk of cardiovascular disease. Metabolic interventions, TRE and GLP1-RA, may be more effective than an AHA HHD intervention alone in improving cardiovascular and metabolic health in prostate cancer patients undergoing ADT.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Changes in the 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease

    The changes in the American Heart Association Predicting Risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) EVENTs (AHA PREVENT) risk score will be compared between glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP1-RA) versus (vs.) AHA heart healthy diet (AHA HHD) interventions using a 2-group t-test with a 0.050 one-sided significance level.

    At completion of 6 months of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) and at 12 months follow up after completion of ADT

  • Changes in the 10-year risk of cardiovascular disease

    The changes in the AHA PREVENT risk score will be compared between time-restricted eating (TRE) vs. AHA HHD interventions using a 2-group t-test with a 0.050 one-sided significance level.

    At completion of 6 months of ADT and at 12 months follow up after completion of ADT

Study Arms (3)

Arm 1 (TRE)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients receive RT and ADT per SOC, as well as participate in an overnight fast over 16 hours on at least 5 days weekly for 6 months. Patients also receive TRE reminders, dietary education, and complete survey and food diary collection via the Oncpatient Companion Mobile app. In addition, patients receive diet/lifestyle counseling as per AHA HHD guidelines and AHA Life Essential 8 recommendations with personalized caloric intake for 6 months. Patients may may optionally wear an activity tracker throughout the trial. Additionally, patients undergo CT, blood sample collection throughout the study and may optionally undergo a coronary computerized tomography angiography throughout the study.

Arm 2 (semaglutide, tirzepatide)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients receive RT and ADT per SOC for 6 months. Patients receive a referral to an endocrinologist and receive semaglutide or tirzepatide SC QW for 6 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients also receive dietary education and complete survey and food diary collection via the Oncpatient Companion Mobile app. In addition, patients receive diet/lifestyle counseling as per AHA HHD guidelines and AHA Life Essential 8 recommendations with personalized caloric intake for 6 months. Patients may may optionally wear an activity tracker throughout the trial.
