Brief summary

Reproduced verbatim from the official ClinicalTrials.gov record. Not medical advice.

This study investigates the pathologic effects of the combination of enzalutamide, abiraterone acetate, dutasteride, and degarelix when given for 12 weeks prior to prostatectomy in men with localized prostate cancer. Enzalutamide, an androgen receptor (AR) antagonist, blocks binding of testosterone to the AR as well as preventing nuclear translocation of the AR and DNA binding. Abiraterone acetate inhibits the CYP17 pathway, which is involved in the formation of androgens. Dutasteride is a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor which blocks conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone. Degarelix, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist, binds to GnRH receptors on the pituitary gland thus suppressing testosterone release from the testes. Therefore it is hypothesized that the combination of enzalutamide, abiraterone acetate, dutasteride, and degarelix will result in near-complete AR inhibition and produce favorable pathologic changes after 12 weeks of therapy.
