Brief Title: Testosterone Therapy in Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer
Official Title: Square Wave Testosterone Therapy in Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer
Study ID: NCT03734653
Brief Summary: This is an open-labeled, single-arm, interventional pilot study. It is being done to determine the feasibility of the administration of transdermal testosterone alternating with enzalutamide, as well as the safety and efficacy.
Detailed Description: The primary endpoint of this trial is to determine the feasibility of the administration of transdermal testosterone alternating with enzalutamide. High dose testosterone has shown activity in phase II studies of patients with castration resistant metastatic prostate cancer; however, these studies have generally employed the intramuscular formulation. It has been hypothesized that the transdermal formulation will show activity but will have less potential for toxicity due to extremely high levels of circulating testosterone (i.e. thrombotic events). In addition, this will allow for a steady state of elevated testosterone, rather than the peaks and troughs seen with the IM approach.
