Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as MRI and magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging, may help in learning how well dutasteride works in patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy and low-risk pr...

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES: Primary * To determine whether there is a decrease in the extent of prostate cancer as measured by endorectal MRI and magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging in patients with symptomatic...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Inclusion criteria:
  • Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate
  • Clinical stage T1b, T1c, or T2a disease
  • Gleason score ≤ 6
  • Maximal prostate-specific antigen (PSA) \< 10 ng/mL
  • Demonstrates intra-prostatic metabolite abnormalities, consistent with adenocarcinoma of the prostate (i.e., ≥ 3 voxels with magnetic resonance spectroscopy imaging \[MRSI\] scores 4-5) by baseline MRI and MRSI
  • Has symptomatic benign prostatic hypertrophy and is currently undergoing watchful waiting OR opting to undergo permanent seed implant (i.e., brachytherapy), but requires neoadjuvant androgen suppression for prostate shrinkage
  • No regional lymph node involvement
  • No evidence of distant metastases
  • Zubrod performance status 0-1
  • Able to swallow and retain oral medications
  • Exclusion Criteria:
  • Other prior or concurrent invasive cancer, other than localized basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of the skin
  • Contraindications to MRI/MRSI, including any of the following:
  • Prostate biopsy (within the past 8 weeks) and any continued post-biopsy bleeding
  • Rectal bleeding
  • Anal fissures
  • Rectal surgery (end-to-end anastomosis)
  • Inflammatory bowel disease
  • Prior radical prostatectomy
  • Hip replacement
  • Certain types of penile implants
  • Vascular clips
  • Known anaphylactic reaction to latex compounds
  • Anticoagulant drugs
  • Severe claustrophobia
  • Cardiac pacemaker
  • Metal in eye
  • Any other metallic or foreign object in the body
  • Unstable serious co-morbidities including, but not limited to, myocardial infarction, coronary artery syndrome, cardiac arrhythmias, symptomatic congestive heart failure, or cerebrovascular accident
  • Major medical or psychiatric illness that, in the investigator's opinion, would preclude the completion of treatment and interfere with follow up
  • Known hypersensitivity to any 5α-reductase inhibitor or drug chemically related to the study drug
  • Prior radical surgery (prostatectomy) or cryosurgery for prostate cancer
  • Prior pelvic irradiation, prostate brachytherapy, or bilateral orchiectomy
  • Prior or concurrent cytotoxic chemotherapy for prostate cancer
  • Prior hormonal therapy, such as luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonists (e.g., goserelin or leuprolide acetate), antiandrogens (e.g., flutamide or bicalutamide), or estrogens (e.g., diethylstilbestrol)
  • Prior or concurrent finasteride, dutasteride, other drugs with known antiandrogenic properties (e.g., spironolactone or progestational agents), or any dietary or herbal supplement (e.g., selenium, vitamin E, saw palmetto, or PC-SPES)
