Study subjects will be randomized to one of the study arms: 2.5 mg of Androderm®.

Study subjects will be randomized to one of the study arms: 5.0 mg of Androderm®.

Study subjects will be randomized to one of the study arms: 7.5 mg of Androderm®.

Subjects will be asked to replace the study drug patch every 24 hours at night following the written and verbal instructions you will receive. The study drug patch should be placed over a small amount of a steroid cream on the skin to reduce irritation.

The purpose of this study is to see how safe Androderm® (the study drug) is at three different doses in subjects with early hormone refractory prostate cancer. In addition, information about hormonal levels and the effects of testosterone on quality of life including sexual functioning and muscle strength will be collected.

Most hormone-refractory disease is currently defined by rising PSA following androgen ablation and an antiandrogen. These patients are typically asymptomatic and have minimal or no radiologically evident disease by standard bone and CT scans. Therapeutic options are limited, with 3rd line hormonal treatments generally providing only brief durations of benefit in a small minority of patients. Chemotherapy is effective, but the role of this somewhat toxic approach in the asymptomatic patient is debatable. In addition, patients suffer from the long-term side effects of androgen ablation such as muscle wasting, decreased strength, decreased sexual functioning, and impaired cognition. If the hypothesis that androgen replacement can inhibit cancer growth in androgen insensitive patients is correct, such treatment would not only delay disease progression but could also improve quality of life. If the hypothesis is incorrect and androgens actually stimulate growth, the consequences are unlikely to be catastrophic since the selected population has only a minimal disease burden.
