Brief Title ICMJE | Metformin Hydrochloride in Treating Patients With Prostate Cancer Undergoing Surgery | ||||
Official Title ICMJE | Phase II Study of Metformin in a Pre-prostatectomy Prostate Cancer Cohort | ||||
Brief Summary | This randomized phase II trial studies how well metformin hydrochloride works compared to placebo in treating patients with prostate cancer undergoing surgery. Metformin hydrochloride may make some enzymes active. These enzymes may block other enzymes needed for cell growth and stop the growth of tumor cells |

Detailed Description | PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the effect of 4-12 weeks of metformin (metformin hydrochloride) intervention on cell proliferation in the prostatectomy tissue. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the prostate tissue bioavailability of metformin. II. To determine apoptosis and angiogenesis in the prostatectomy tissue. III. To determine potential molecular targets of metformin including AMPK activation, mTOR regulation, and cell cycle regulation in the prostatectomy tissue. IV. To determine changes in systemic hormones and growth factors that have been shown to be modulated by metformin in other patient populations including fasting glucose, fasting insulin, insulin-like growth factor axis, testosterone, and sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG). V. To determine changes in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels. OUTLINE: Patients are stratified by whether or not the institution will provide fresh frozen tissue for measurement of tissue metformin hydrochloride concentrations. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms. ARM I: Patients receive extended-release metformin hydrochloride orally (PO) once daily (QD) for 4-12 weeks. ARM II: Patients receive placebo PO QD for 4-12 weeks. Patients in both arms undergo surgery one day after completion of treatment. Paraffin-embedded blocks or slides from diagnostic biopsy and tumor tissue samples from prostatectomy are collected for cell proliferation and biomarker studies by sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric, and immunohistochemistry. Patients also undergo serum sample collection at baseline and after completion of study treatment for PSA, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1, IGFBP3, and SHBG), testosterone, and SHBG by ELISA and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry assay. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up within 30 days of surgery. |
