Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study is to determine whether prostate cancer growth can be slowed in patients who receive Androgel® 1% at 10 gram dose.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The primary objective of the study is to determine the effect of testosterone replacement on time to disease progression and time to clinical cancer progression.

The secondary objectives are to describe the effect of testosterone replacement on patient-reported quality of life (FACT-P, FACT-fatigue and specific measures from the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index (EPIC): Sexual and Hormonal Assessments), and hand-grip strength; to describe changes in total testosterone, free testosterone, and PSA levels; to explore AR levels in circulating tumor cells as a marker of treatment benefit.
