Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) treatment for prostate cancer decreases the natural hormone called testosterone. This type of therapy is very effective for the treatment of prostate cancer. However, one of the side effects is bone loss or thinning of the bones that can lead to osteoporosis and an increased risk of bone fractures (breaking of the bones). The purpose of the study is to determine whether or not the addition of toremifene citrate (the study drug) to therapy can prevent or decrease the number of bone fractures and to evaluate its impact on side effects associated with testosterone reduction therapy.

Exclusion Criteria

* Have been on:

* ADT treatment (either luteinizing hormone-releasing agonist \[LHRHa\] or orchiectomy) for at least 6 months; Or
* Intermittent LHRHa for at least the preceding 12 months is acceptable, but subjects must be maintained on uninterrupted treatment for the duration of this study once they are randomized into the study.
* Be aged ≥ 70 years or have BMD of lumbar spine or femoral neck at or below the specified thresholds for study entry:

* Hologic BMD (g/cm2): L1-L4 - 0.926; Femoral neck - 0.717
* Lunar BMD (g/cm2): L1-L4 - 1.050; Femoral neck - 0.840
* Serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) ≤ 4 ng/mL
* Have a Zubrod performance status ≤ 1
* Subject weight \< 300 lbs (weight limitation of DEXA equipment)
* Agree to complete a daily diary of medication intake and to provide tablet containers for accurate counts
* Agree to use an effective method of contraception, if the partner is of childbearing age, while on study
* Have adequate bone marrow, liver and renal function:

* White blood cell (WBC) count ≥ 3,000/mm3;
* Platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm3;
* Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 mg/dL;
* AST and ALT \< 2x upper limit of normal;
* Serum creatinine ≤ 2.0 mg%.


Subjects with any of the following will not be eligible for enrollment:

* Taking bisphosphonates, selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs), parathyroid hormone (PTH), Forteo® (teriparatide), calcitonin, or oral glucocorticoids within 45 days of randomization

* Have \> 4 vertebral fragility fractures
* Have any history of other carcinomas within the last 5 years (except nonmelanoma cutaneous malignancies and superficial bladder cancer with no evidence of recurrence which will not be excluded). NOTE: Patients with cancers other than nonmelanoma cutaneous malignancies and superficial bladder cancer with no evidence of tumor recurrence for at least 5 years after definitive treatment will not be excluded from this study.
* Have Paget's disease of bone
* Have active systemic viral, bacterial or fungal infections requiring treatment
* Have, in the judgment of the investigator, a clinically significant concurrent illness or psychological, familial, sociological, geographical or other concomitant condition that would not permit adequate follow-up and compliance with the study protocol for the full 24-month duration of the study
* Received treatment with other investigational agents within 30 days prior to randomization
* Taking finasteride (e.g., Proscar®), dutasteride (e.g., Avodart®), Danocrine® (danazol) or testosterone-like supplements, such as dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) \[subject is eligible if he stops these agents for a total washout of 45 days prior to randomization and agrees not to use these agents for the duration of the study\]
* Taking herbal medicine or dietary supplements for prostate health, such as PC SPES and saw palmetto (also known as Serenoa repens) \[subject is eligible if he stops these agents for a total washout of 45 days prior to randomization and agrees not to use these agents for the duration of the study\]. Lycopene and selenium are not prohibited and no washout is required.
