PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 15 post-intervention

Population: Only 10 participants from the low-dose arm and 8 participants from the control arm had adequate paired tissue for evaluation, due to the lack of availability or inadequacy of either biopsy or radical prostatectomy. The 2 patients from the high-dose arm did not complete due to dose-limiting toxicity.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Change from baseline to 15 days post-intervention

Population: Only 9 participants from the control group and 13 participants in the low-dose arm had evaluable tissue for analysis. Participants in the high dose arm did not complete the study due to serious adverse events.

Pharmocodynamic response was taken as ≥60% decrease in the H-score for S6 phosphorylation in the radical prostatectomy tumor tissue compared with the pretreatment (baseline) biopsy tumor tissue. The H-score is a semiquantitative measure of the percentage of cells scoring positive (0-100) multiplied by the intensity of staining (0-3).
