High Dose Testosterone for ATM, CDK12 or CHEK2 Altered Prostate Cancers

High-dose Testosterone in Men With Metastatic Castration-resistant Prostate Cancer and ATM or CDK12 Deficiency


Sponsor

VA Office of Research and Development

Enrollment

51 participants

Start Date

Aug 31, 2021

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This study will determine whether the presence of DNA repair deficiency in the form of alterations in the genes ATM, CDK12 or CHEK2 predicts for a high likelihood of responding to the use of intermittent high dose testosterone. This therapy may result in responses in tumors which are genetically unstable because of DNA repair deficiency and this is a prospective study to test that hypothesis


Eligibility

Sex: MALEMin Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests whether high-dose testosterone can treat advanced prostate cancer in men whose tumors have specific genetic mutations — in the ATM, CDK12, or CHEK2 genes — and whose cancer has stopped responding to hormone-lowering therapy. **You may be eligible if...** - You are a male over 18 with confirmed prostate cancer - Your cancer has a confirmed mutation in ATM, CDK12, or CHEK2 genes - You are currently on hormone deprivation therapy (medication or surgery to lower testosterone) - Your cancer has progressed despite prior hormone treatments - Your overall health is good enough to tolerate treatment **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your tumor does not have ATM, CDK12, or CHEK2 mutations - You have uncontrolled heart disease or high blood pressure - You have had a stroke or blood clot recently - You are on blood thinners that cannot be paused - You have widespread bone metastases causing significant symptoms Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
