Restore Trial Summary

This trial is testing whether giving testosterone then enzalutamide, abiraterone, or castration-only therapy to men with metastatic CRPC who have progressed on one of these forms of therapy, will be effective. There will be four groups of patients, each with a different previous treatment.

Restore Trial Design

4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Cohort D: MutationExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Men with metastatic prostate cancer who have castrate resistant prostate cancer with inactivating somatic or germline mutations in the genes TP53, RB1 or PTEN identified using clinical grade sequencing of tumor tissue performed by qualified laboratory. Patients must have mutations in ≥2 of these genes to be eligible. Eligible patients must have progressed on first line hormone therapy with LHRH agonist alone and must have received at least one but not more than two second generation androgen ablative therapy (i.e. Abiraterone, Enzalutamide or Apalutamide).
Group II: Cohort C: Castration OnlyExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Men with metastatic prostate cancer who have only received first line hormone therapy with LHRH agonist alone or LHRH agonist plus an anti-androgen. Patients who have developed castrate resistance to first line therapy and have then received second line hormone therapy of any kind (including flutamide, bicalutamide, nilutamide, ketoconazole, abiraterone, enzalutamide, ARN-509 and investigational anti-androgens) are not eligible for enrollment in this cohort.
Group III: Cohort B: Post-abirateroneExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Men with castration-resistant prostate cancer who have progressed on abiraterone will be enrolled to this cohort. These patients will then receive intramuscular injections with testosterone cypionate 400 mg every 28 days or testosterone enanthate 400 mg every 28 days. Upon progression on testosterone cypionate or enanthate, men will be retreated with abiraterone 1000 mg by mouth daily.
Group IV: Cohort A:Post-enzalutamideExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
Men with castration-resistant prostate cancer who have progressed on enzalutamide will be enrolled to this cohort. These patients will then receive intramuscular injections with testosterone cypionate 400 mg every 28 days or testosterone enanthate 400 mg every 28 days. Upon progression on testosterone cypionate or enanthate, men will be retreated with enzalutamide 160 mg by mouth daily.
