Summary

Dutasteride inhibits the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) the male hormone that leads to benign prostate growth. By blocking the conversion of testosterone to DHT, dutasteride could allow bicalutamide to be a more effective anti-androgen thus prolonging bicalutamide's efficacy.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion criteria

  • Men ≥40 and ≤90 years of age
  • Must have asymptomatic prostate cancer that has progressed during androgen deprivation therapy (rising PSA). PSA progression must have occurred after first-line treatment with GnRH analogues ( e.g. leuprolide, goserelin) or orchiectomy. PSA progression is defined by three rises in PSA each measured at least 4 weeks apart within the previous year.
  • Serum PSA ≥2 and ≤20ng/ml from central laboratory. One PSA retest from central laboratory is allowed if the value is 20ng/ml; or if the PSA value is not consistent with the previous rising PSA values that determined progression while on a GnRH analogue.
  • Serum Testosterone 50mg/day, flutamide, bicalutamide*, ketoconazole**, progestational agents)

*The use of an antiandrogen during GnRH analogue induction for 2.0 times the upper limit of normal.

  • History of another malignancy within five years that could affect the treatment of prostate cancer or survival of the subject.
  • History or current evidence of drug or alcohol abuse within the last 12 months.
  • History of any illness (including psychiatric) that, in the opinion of the investigator, might confound the results of the study or pose additional risk to the subject.
  • Known hypersensitivity to any 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor or to any drug chemically related to dutasteride.
