A Selective Androgen Receptor Modulator for Symptom Management in Prostate Cancer
Trial Description
This research study is studying the use of a targeted therapy called LY SARM, which is an
investigational drug from a new class of molecules called Selective Androgen Receptor
Modulators (SARMs) as a possible improvement in quality of life for participants who have
undergone radical prostatectomy. Androgens are a group of hormones that play a role in
male traits and reproductive activity.
The names of the study interventions involved in this study are:
- LY2452473
Eligibility Requirements
Inclusion Criteria
- Age 19 years of age or older
- History of prostate cancer
- Stage pathological tumor-2 (pT2) N0, M0 lesions (If American Joint Committee on
Cancer (AJCC) staging is not available in medical records, the investigators
will infer the staging based on extensive review of the pathology report)
- Combined Gleason score < 7 (3+4)
- Radical prostatectomy two or more years ago
- Preoperative prostate-specific antigen (PSA)<10 ng/ml (if pre-operative PSA is
not available in medical records, low-risk subjects with a Gleason score of
6(3+3) and who are at least 5 years out of surgery will be considered for
enrollment)
- PSA <0.1 ng/mL using an assay that has a functional sensitivity of 0.1 ng/mL
for at least two years after radical prostatectomy
- Serum testosterone, measured by Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry
(LC-MS/MS), <300 mg/dL and/or free testosterone by equilibrium dialysis <60 pg/mL.
* Derogatis Index of Sexual Function Male II (DISF-M-II) score ≤20, fatigue (FACIT-F
score <30), or physical dysfunction (self-reported difficulty in walking a 1/4 mile
or climbing two flights of stairs, short physical performance battery score 4 to 9).
- Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent
document.
- Agree to use adequate contraception prior to receiving the study drug, for the
duration of study participation, and 4 months after completion of LY SARM
administration.
