简要总结
This is a multi-centre, double-blind, randomized phase III trial comparing metformin to placebo in patients with advanced prostate cancer starting (or have recently started) androgen deprivation therapy (ADT).
详细描述
The primary objective of this study will determine if there are differences between arms with respect to the proportion of participants who meet the diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome after 18 months of study treatment.
The investigators will also compare arms with regards to severity of individual metabolic syndrome components following 18 months of study treatment. Other objectives are outlined below, and will include quality of life assessments, metabolic and anthropomorphic measurements at additional time points and correlative laboratory studies.
It is estimated that one in seven Canadian men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. In 2015, approximately 23,600 Canadian men were estimated to be diagnosed with prostate cancer and 4,000 died of this disease.
Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is a standard first-line treatment for men with incurable prostate cancer and has long been known to improve overall survival.
Although the effectiveness of ADT is well established in participants with advanced prostate cancer, it is associated with important adverse effects as outlined below. The development of metabolic syndrome in particular is clinically important as it is associated with worsened quality of life and increased all-cause morbidity and mortality.

入选标准
- •Participants must fulfill all the following criteria to be eligible for admission to the study:
- •Pathologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate
- •Eligible for initiating androgen deprivation therapy with either:
- •(Neo-)Adjuvant therapy for localized prostate cancer that is planned continuously for at least 9 months; or
- •Metastatic disease: or
- •Biochemical recurrence of prostate cancer as defined as EITHER:
- •A rising PSA after prior curative intent surgical therapy (e.g., prostatectomy with or without adjuvant/ salvage radiotherapy). Since an absolute consensus for this value has not been established, if a rising PSA has been documented by at least two PSA values at least 2 weeks apart, the criteria for biochemical recurrence are deemed to have been met. Or,
- •PSA ≥ 2ng/mL above their nadir if previously treated with definitive radiotherapy
- •Serum testosterone > 5nmol/L (except for participants who have already started androgen deprivation therapy (within no more than 45 days of commencing study treatment)).
- •The choice of androgen deprivation therapy is at the investigators discretion but must include at minimum the use of luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist/antagonist therapy. The addition of other hormonal agents (e.g., non-steroidal antiandrogens, abiraterone, enzalutamide, apalutamide) is allowed.
- •The androgen deprivation therapy undertaken can be intermittent or continuous, but the treatment intent must be declared prior to randomization.
- •Participant is able (e.g., sufficiently fluent) and willing to complete the quality of life questionnaires in either English or French. The baseline assessment must be completed within required timelines, prior to registration/randomization. Inability (lack of comprehension in English or French, or other equivalent reason such as cognitive issues or lack of competency) to complete the questionnaires will not make the participant ineligible for the study. However, ability but unwillingness to complete the questionnaires will make the participant ineligible.
- •Participant consent must be appropriately obtained in accordance with applicable local and regulatory requirements. Each participant must sign a consent form prior to enrolment in the trial to document their willingness to participate.
- •Participant must be accessible for treatment and follow up. Participants registered on this trial must be treated and followed at the participating centre. Investigators must assure themselves that the participants registered on this trial will be available for complete documentation of the treatment, adverse events, and follow-up.
- •Protocol treatment is to begin within 7 working days of participant randomization.
排除标准
- •Participants who fulfill any of the following criteria are not eligible for admission to the study:
- •Prior androgen deprivation therapy within 12 months of enrolment (except for participants who have started androgen deprivation therapy within 45 days of commencing study treatment)
- •Prior androgen deprivation therapy associated with definitive treatment is permitted, if it has been completed at least 12 months prior to enrolment (e.g., last injection or tablet taken 12 months prior to study enrolment)
- •Participant that meet ≥ 1 of the Canadian Diabetes Association criteria for the diagnosis of diabetes within 28 days of enrolment:
- •Fasting plasma glucose of ≥ 7mmol/L; or
- •HbA1C ≥ 6.5%.
- •Participant currently taking metformin (or other diabetic medications) or who have taken metformin (or other diabetic medications) within 28 days of enrolment.
- •History of lactic acidosis or conditions that predispose to lactic acidosis:
- •Impaired Renal Function (eGFR <45mL/ minute/ 1.73 m^2); or
- •Liver disease, including alcoholic liver disease, as demonstrated by any of the following parameters:
- •AST > 1.8 x the upper limit of normal
- •ALT > 1.8 x the upper limit of normal
- •Alkaline Phosphatase >2x the upper limit of normal
- •Serum total bilirubin > 1.5x the upper limit of normal (except for participant with Gilbert's Disease who are eligible despite elevated serum bilirubin levels).
- •Alcohol abuse (habitual intake of ≥ 3 alcoholic beverages per day) sufficient to cause hepatic toxicity; or
- •Severe infection; or
- •Congestive heart failure (defined as New York Heart Association Class III or IV functional status).
- •Participant with a history of other invasive malignancies, except adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or other solid tumours curatively treated with no evidence of disease for ≥ 5 years.

结局指标
主要结局
Proportion of participants who meet the diagnostic criteria for metabolic syndrome after 18 months of study treatment
时间窗: 18 months
A diagnosis of metabolic syndrome will be made according to the harmonized definition of the metabolic syndrome as defined in the joint statement of the International Diabetes Federation Task Force on Epidemiology and Prevention; National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute; American Heart Association; World Heart Federation; International Atherosclerosis Society; and the International Association for the Study of Obesity. A patient will be classified as having metabolic syndrome if he possesses ≥3 of the aforementioned criteria: Increased waist circumference, elevated triglycerides, reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, elevated blood pressure, and elevated fasting blood glucose. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome at 18 months post randomization will be calculated and compared between treatment arms using the two-sample t-test.
