Brief Summary:
Determine the effect of enzalutamide and dutasteride or finasteride on the time to prostatic-specific antigen level increase in patients age 65 or older.

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Prostate Cancer Drug: Enzalutamide and Dutasteride or finasteride Phase 2

Detailed Description:

The primary objective of this study is to determine the effect of enzalutamide and dutasteride or finasteride on the time to prostatic-specific antigen progression in patients aged 65 or older receiving this combination as first line treatment for systemic prostate cancer.

To determine the safety and toxicities of the study drug combination.

To determine the time to prostatic-specific antigen nadir from the start of study treatment and to evaluate the absolute prostatic-specific antigen nadir as a result of the study drug combination

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Enzalutamide and dutasteride or finasteride
Use of either 1. Enzalutamide and dutasteride or 2. Enzalutamide and finasteride.
Drug: Enzalutamide and Dutasteride or finasteride

Use of either two oral drugs together

  1. Enzalutamide by mouth daily and dutasteride by mouth daily or
  2. Enzalutamide by mouth daily and finasteride by mouth daily




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. PSA Progression Free Survival [ Time Frame: up to approximately 36 months ]
    Time (months) from initiation of study treatment to PSA progression, defined by Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group 2 criteria.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Change in lowest PSA level compared to baseline PSA level (Absolute PSA response) [ Time Frame: up to approximately 36 months ]
    Change in lowest PSA level at follow up compared to baseline PSA level

  2. Time to PSA Nadir [ Time Frame: up to approximately 36 months ]
    Time (months) to achieve the lowest PSA value compared to baseline PSA level

  3. Number of participants who experience a treatment-related adverse events. [ Time Frame: up to approximately 36 months ]
    Adverse events will be defined according to CTCAE version 4.0.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. Change in bone density [ Time Frame: Week 1 to Week 97 ]
    Change in bone density at week 97 compared to baseline bone density, measured using DEXA study

  2. mean quality of life [ Time Frame: Week 1 to approximately 36 months ]
    Change in quality of life score at follow up compared to baseline score, using FACT-P survey. The FACT-P survey is a 39 item questionnaire with a score that ranges from 0-156 with higher scores indicating better quality of life.

  3. Comprehensive geriatric assessment domains [ Time Frame: Week 1 to approximately 36 months ]
    Change in comprehensive geriatric assessment domains at follow up compared to baseline evaluation.

Ages Eligible for Study:   65 Years to 85 Years   (Older Adult)
Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Histologically or cytologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate without neuroendocrine differentiation or small cell features.

Patients with systemic prostate cancer as defined by either a) hormonal naïve metastatic prostate cancer with radiographic evidence of visceral or osseous metastasis or b) biochemical recurrence prostate cancer that fulfills all of the following criteria:

A minimum of three rising prostatic-specific antigen levels with an interval of =/> 1 week between each test, The prostatic-specific antigen (PSA) value at the screening visit should be =/> 2 ng/ml prostatic-specific antigen doubling time ≤ 9 months.

Patients should be 65 years or older. Patients who are deemed "not fit" by comprehensive geriatric assessment or at high risk for side effects as determined by the treating physician. A case report form will be used to document the specifics of why each eligible patient is not considered an ideal candidate.

Serum testosterone level > 1.7 nmol/L (50 ng/dL) at the screening visit (non- castrate).

Patients could have received hormonal therapy as part of definitive treatment for previous localized prostate cancer. However, they should be off any hormonal therapy for greater than six months prior to entry to clinical trial.

Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 to 2. Able to swallow the study drug and comply with study requirements.

Exclusion Criteria:

Severe concurrent disease or infection that, in the judgment of the investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for enrollment.

Known brain metastases. Brain imaging studies are not required for eligibility if the patient has no neurologic signs or symptoms suggestive of brain metastasis. However, if brain imaging studies are performed, they must be negative for disease.

Patient is receiving treatment for another active malignancy excluding localized cutaneous squamous or basal cell carcinoma.

Prior treatment for systemic prostate cancer. Prior treatment with enzalutamide. Treatment with androgen receptor antagonists (bicalutamide, flutamide, nilutamide,), ketoconazole, abiraterone, finasteride, dutasteride, estrogens, or chemotherapy in an adjuvant setting within 6 months of enrollment (Day 1 visit) or plans to initiate treatment with any of these treatments.

Treatment with therapeutic immunizations for prostate cancer (e.g., PROVENGE®) or plans to initiate treatment with any of these treatments during the study period.

Clinically significant cardiovascular disease including:

Myocardial infarction within 6 months, Uncontrolled angina within 3 months, Congestive heart failure New York Heart Association class 3 or 4, or patients with history of congestive heart failure NYHA class 3 or 4 in the past, unless a screening echocardiogram or multigated acquisition scan performed within 3 months results in a left ventricular ejection fraction that is =/> 45%, hypotension (systolic blood pressure < 86 millimeters of mercury [mmHg] or bradycardia with a heart rate < 50 beats per minute, uncontrolled hypertension as indicated by a resting systolic blood pressure of 170 mmHg or diastolic blood pressure > 105 mmHg at the Screening or Study Day 1 visit.

Gastrointestinal disorder affecting absorption (e.g., gastrectomy, active peptic ulcer within last 3 months).

Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to enrollment (Day 1 visit). Absolute neutrophil count < 1,500/µL, platelet count < 100,000/µL, and hemoglobin < 5.6 mmol/L (9 g/dL) at the Screening visit; (NOTE: patients may not have received any growth factors or blood transfusions within 7 days of the hematologic laboratory values obtained at the Screening visit).
