Trial Review

Did you know?

The ANZCTR now automatically displays published trial results and simplifies the addition of trial documents such as unpublished protocols and statistical analysis plans.

These enhancements will offer a more comprehensive view of trials, regardless of whether their results are positive, negative, or inconclusive.

The safety and scientific validity of this study is the responsibility of the study sponsor and investigators. Listing a study does not mean it has been endorsed by the ANZCTR. Before participating in a study, talk to your health care provider and refer to this information for consumers

Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Treatment: Drugs - Testosterone Enanthate 100 MG/ML Injectable Solution
Treatment: Drugs - Testosterone Enanthate 100 MG/ML Injectable Solution / Carboplatin AUC 5

Experimental: High dose testosterone + Carbolplatin - 500mg IM enanthate every 4 weeks in combination with ongoing LHRH agent (unless post-orchidectomy) plus Carboplatin AUC 5


Treatment: Drugs: Testosterone Enanthate 100 MG/ML Injectable Solution
Testosterone Enanthate is the oil-soluble ester of the androgenic hormone testosterone. Testosterone Enanthate is a clear to pale yellow solution for intramuscular injection. Each pre-filled syringe contains 250mg testosterone enanthate/1mL.

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
1. Males with histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate
2. Confirmed HRD (Homologous recombination defect) in germline and/or somatic DNA analysis (tumour or blood), by a validated assay (see Appendix 1). Mutations in HR genes not listed in appendix 1 will be considered in literature suggests pathogenicity. A maximum of 10 uncharacterised or heterozygous mutations will be included.
3. Age = 18 years
4. ECOG performance status = 1
5. Rising PSA confirmed on two sequential tests =1 week apart and a minimum value of 2 ug/L despite castrate levels of testosterone
6. Serum testosterone < 1.7 nmol/L and on an LHRH agent or post orchidectomy = 1 year.
7. Washout of = 4 weeks from prior line of treatment, radiotherapy or surgery (aside from LHRH agent)
8. Adequate bone marrow function (platelets > 100 x 109/L, ANC > 1.5 x 109/L, Hb >100)
9. Adequate liver function (ALT/AST < 1.5 x ULN, bilirubin < 2 x ULN)
10. Adequate renal function (creatinine clearance > 50 ml/min)
11. Adequate cardiac function and reserve after cardiology assessment
12. Archived tissue sample available or willingness to undergo fresh biopsy
13. Willing and able to comply with all study requirements, including treatment, timing and/or nature of required assessments
14. Signed, written informed consent
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Males
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
1. Contraindications to investigational product
2. Pain due to metastatic prostate cancer requiring opioid analgesics
3. Evidence of disease progression in sites or extent that, in the opinion of the investigator, would put the patient at risk from testosterone therapy and its potential for initial tumour flare (eg: femoral metastasis at risk of fracture, ureteric obstruction due to nodal disease or cord compression due to spinal metastases).
4. Previous treatment with platinum chemotherapy and/or a PARP inhibitor. However up to 8 men with prior treatment to these agents will be included as an exploratory cohort.
5. Life expectancy of less than 3 months.
6. Brain metastases or leptomeningeal disease
7. History of thromboembolic event and not currently on anticoagulation
8. Prior myocardial infarction or unstable angina within 2 years of study entry
9. Haematocrit = 50%, untreated severe obstructive sleep apnoea or poorly controlled heart failure (NYHA >1)
10. History of another malignancy within 5 years prior to registration. Patients with a past history of adequately treated carcinoma-in-situ, basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or superficial transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder are eligible. Patients with a history of other malignancies are eligible if they have been continuously disease free for at least 5 years after definitive primary treatment.
11. Concurrent illness, including severe infection that may jeopardize the ability of the patient to undergo the procedures outlined in this protocol with reasonable safety.
12. Presence of any psychological, familial, sociological or geographical condition potentially hampering compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule, including alcohol dependence or drug abuse.
