Study Overview

Official Title: A Randomized Placebo-Controlled Phase IIb Clinical Trial of 2-Difluoromethylornithine DFMO Versus Bicalutamide CASODEX Alone and in Combination in Patients With Prostate Cancer in the Period Prior to Radical Prostatectomy or Brachytherapy Modulation of Tissue and Molecular Biomarkers in Human Prostate Tissue Serum

Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy such as eflornithine work in different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Androgens can stimulate the growth of prostate cancer cells Drugs used in hormone therapy such as bicalutamide may fight prostate cancer by stopping the adrenal glands from producing androgens Combining eflornithine with bicalutamide may kill more tumor cells

PURPOSE Randomized phase II trial to compare the effectiveness of neoadjuvant eflornithine and bicalutamide with that of eflornithine alone bicalutamide alone and no neoadjuvant therapy in treating patients who are undergoing brachytherapy or radical prostatectomy for localized prostate cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Compare levels of polyamine spermine polyamine putrescine and spermidine in patients with localized prostate cancer undergoing brachytherapy or radical prostatectomy and treated with neoadjuvant eflornithine and bicalutamide vs eflornithine alone vs bicalutamide alone vs no neoadjuvant therapy
Compare the expression of surrogate biomarkers ie serum prostate-specific antigen tissue levels of proliferating cell nuclear antigen Ki67 and TGF-alpha apoptosis assays ICH-PARP and TUNEL and cytomorphometric indices in patients treated with these regimens
Compare the toxicity of these regimens in these patients

OUTLINE This is a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study Patients are stratified according to Gleason score 7 vs 7 Patients are randomized to 1 of 4 treatment arms

Arm I Patients receive oral eflornithine and oral bicalutamide once daily
Arm II Patients receive oral eflornithine and oral bicalutamide placebo once daily
Arm III Patients receive oral eflornithine placebo and oral bicalutamide once daily
Arm IV Patients receive oral eflornithine placebo and oral bicalutamide placebo once daily

In all arms treatment continues for 28 days in the absence of unacceptable toxicity Patients then undergo either prostatectomy or brachytherapy as determined by the patient on day 29

Patients are followed at 4 weeks

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 44 patients 11 per treatment arm will be accrued for this study within 11 months
