Who can join

Age: 18 and older, up to 100. Sex: male. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Willing and able to provide written informed consent.
• Age ≥ 18 years
• Eastern cooperative group (ECOG) performance status ≤2
• Documented histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate (minimum 12 core prostate biopsy completed within 90 days of screening)
• Very low-risk prostate cancer as defined by:
• Gleason score ≤ 6
• PSA density ≤ 0.15 ng/mL/mL
• PSA < 10 ng/mL
• Clinical tumor stage T1 (cT1) (i.e., no palpable nodule by digital rectal exam)
• ≤2 prostate cores positive for prostatic adenocarcinoma
• ≤50% of any given core involved by prostatic adenocarcinoma
• Willing and qualified for active surveillance at Johns Hopkins
• Presence of at least one MRI significant visible prostate tumor (i.e., ≥5 mm in at least one dimension) that has been biopsy proven to be prostatic adenocarcinoma Note: MRI may occur pre- or post-prostate biopsy. If done post-biopsy, the MRI must not occur <8 weeks post-prostate biopsy.
• Serum testosterone ≥150 ng/dL
• Able to swallow the study drugs whole as a tablet

You may not qualify if…

• Prior local therapy to treat prostate cancer (e.g., radical prostatectomy, radiation therapy, brachytherapy)
• Prior use of bicalutamide
• Prior use of finasteride within the past year
• Prior or ongoing systemic therapy for prostate cancer including, but not limited to:
• Hormonal therapy (e.g., leuprolide, goserelin, triptorelin)
• CYP-17 inhibitors (e.g., abiraterone, ketoconazole)
• Antiandrogens (e.g., bicalutamide, flutamide, nilutamide)
• Second generation antiandrogens (e.g., enzalutamide, ARN-509)
• Immunotherapy (e.g., sipuleucel-T, ipilimumab)
• Chemotherapy (e.g., docetaxel, cabazitaxel)
• Evidence of serious and/or unstable pre-existing medical, psychiatric or other condition (including laboratory abnormalities) that could interfere with patient safety or provision of informed consent to participate in this study.
• Any psychological, familial, sociological, or geographical condition that could potentially interfere with compliance with the study protocol and follow-up schedule.
• Abnormal bone marrow function [absolute neutrophil count (ANC)<1500/mm3, platelet count <100,000/mm3, hemoglobin <9 g/dL]
• Abnormal liver function (bilirubin, AST, ALT ≥ 3 x upper limit of normal)
• Abnormal kidney function (serum creatinine ≥ 2 x upper limit of normal)
• Abnormal cardiac function as manifested by NYHA (New York Heart Association) class III or IV heart failure or history of a prior myocardial infarction (MI) within the last five years prior to enrollment in the study.
