High-dose Testosterone in Men With Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer and ATM or CDK12 Deficiency
Condition: Metastatic Prostate Cancer
Study Type: Interventional
Clinical Trials Identifier NCT 8-digits: NCT05011383

- Castration resistant prostate cancer as defined by serum testosterone < 50 ng/ml and one of the following:
- PSA level of at least 2 ng/ml that has risen on at least 2 successive occasions at least 1 week apart.
- Evaluable disease progression by modified RECIST 1.1 (Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors)
- Progression of metastatic bone disease on bone scan with > 2 new lesions
- Presence of metastatic disease on bone or CT scan
- Patients must have progressed on 1 next-generation AR-signaling inhibitor (e.g. abiraterone, enzalutamide, apalutamide, darolutamide, etc.).
- Asymptomatic or minimal cancer related symptoms
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of < 2
- Presence of inactivating mutations in ATM, CDK12 or CHEK2 as determined by a CLIA level assay for DNA sequencing.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Currently receiving active therapy for other neoplastic disorders will not be eligible.
- Histologic evidence of small cell carcinoma (morphology alone
- immunohistochemical evidence of neuroendrocrine differentiation without morphologic evidence is not exclusionary)
- Known parenchymal brain metastasis
- Liver metastases
- Active or symptomatic viral hepatitis or chronic liver disease AST or ALT > 2.5 x ULN or total bilirubin > ULN (unless Gilbert's syndrome is the etiology of hyperbilirubinemia).
- Clinically significant heart disease as evidenced by myocardial infarction, or arterial thrombotic events in the past 6 months, severe or unstable angina, or New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II-IV heart disease or cardiac ejection fraction measurement of <35 % at baseline
- Patients with pain attributable to their prostate cancer and requiring the use of opioids.
- Tumor causing urinary outlet obstruction that requires catheterization for voiding. Patients that require catheterization to void secondary to benign strictures or other non-cancer causes will be permitted to enroll.
- Presence of dementia, psychiatric illness, and/or social situations limiting compliance with study requirements or understanding and/or giving of informed consent.
- Any condition(s), medical or otherwise, which, in the opinion of the investigators, would jeopardize either the patient or the integrity of the data obtained.
