简要总结

This is a prospective, single-center, two-arm Phase 1 safety and feasibility trial evaluating anti-estrogen therapy in men age 50 years and older with symptomatic unilateral inguinal hernias. Participants will be randomized to receive Fulvestrant 250 mg intramuscularly or anastrozole 1 mg orally for 6 months. The study will evaluate safety, tolerability, feasibility, hormone changes, hernia size, patient-reported outcomes, bone density, and imaging-based hernia classification.

入选标准

  • Age ≥ 50 years at time of enrollment
  • Symptomatic unilateral inguinal hernia confirmed on physical examination
  • Hernia visible / confirmed on groin ultrasound
  • Non-recurrent inguinal hernia (primary hernia only)
  • Willing and able to provide written informed consent
  • Able and willing to comply with all protocol-required visits, laboratory assessments, imaging, and follow-up
  • Willing to use contraception and avoid fathering a child during study participation and for 12 months after last dose
  • Willing to be counseled regarding vitamin D and calcium supplementation Bone safety mitigation measure per PIND response.

排除标准

  • Hernia Characteristics
  • Scrotal hernia (any)
  • Bilateral inguinal hernia
  • Recurrent inguinal hernia (prior repair at same site)
  • Renal & Hepatic
  • Clinically significant renal dysfunction judged by investigator to increase study risk
  • Clinically significant hepatic dysfunction at baseline
  • Hematologic
  • ■ Clinically significant baseline hematologic abnormality (including elevated hematocrit or polycythemia)
  • Urologic / Prostate
  • Symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) requiring active medical or procedural treatment
  • Clinically significant untreated prostate disease
  • Skeletal / Bone
  • Baseline osteoporosis (T-score ≤ -2.5 on DEXA at any site)
  • Recent fragility fracture (within prior 12 months or as judged by investigator)
  • Other clinically significant skeletal vulnerability judged to increase risk from estrogen suppression
  • Immunosuppression ■ Active immunosuppression (e.g., systemic corticosteroids, biologic agents, post-transplant regimens)
  • Psychiatric
  • ■ Unstable or uncontrolled psychiatric illness that, in the investigator's judgment, would interfere with safe study participation
  • Reproductive / Fertility ■ Actively pursuing fertility or planning conception during study participation
  • Prior / Concomitant Therapy
  • Current use of androgen replacement therapy, exogenous estrogen, or other endocrine-active agents that would confound study interpretation
  • Prior or current use of aromatase inhibitor or selective estrogen receptor modulator / degrader within 6 months of enrollment
  • ■ Any other clinically significant medical condition, laboratory abnormality, or circumstance that, in the investigator's judgment, would place the participant at unacceptable risk or compromise study integrity
