Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Intervention / Treatment

Experimental: Pilot Trial: Osanetant 28 Days; Pilot Trial: A single dose level (200mg twice daily, oral) will be provided for men with prostate cancer undergoing curative intent surgery. Men will undergo serum testing at baseline, days 2, 3, 7, 14, and 28 as well as 6 weeks post-treatment in order to evaluate efficacy. All men enrolled will be subject to the same study procedures and assessments, regardless of completion of the study protocol, and analysis will occur via intent-to-treat principles.

Drug: Osanetant; To evaluate the effect of Osanetant on the testosterone levels.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
To evaluate the effect of Osanetant on the testosterone levels.	We will test the ability of Osanetant to suppress testosterone production. A single arm pilot study of Osanetant at 200mg twice daily will be performed. Testosterone levels at baseline will be compared to levels at day 2, 3, 7 ,14, and 28 days of therapy. The overall effect of Osanetant on testosterone levels and the proportion of men achieving castrate levels of testosterone (<50ng/ml) will be assessed. Additionally, the reversibility of this effect will be assessed by evaluating the testosterone levels at 6-8 weeks posttreatment.	28 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
To evaluate the effect of Osanetant on LH levels.	Levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) will be measured at baseline and days 2, 3, 7 ,14, and 28. These will be compared at each time point in order to assess the impact of NK3RA on these hormonal parameters.	28 days
To evaluate the effect of Osanetant on FSH levels.	Levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) will be measured at baseline and days 2, 3, 7 ,14, and 28. These will be compared at each time point in order to assess the impact of NK3RA on these hormonal parameters.	28 days
To evaluate the effect of Osanetant on estradiol levels	Levels of estradiol will be measured at baseline and days 2, 3, 7 ,14, and 28. These will be compared at each time point in order to assess the impact of NK3RA on these hormonal parameters.	28 days
To evaluate the effect of Osanetant on PSA levels.	PSA will be compared at baseline and 28 days of therapy in order to evaluate the end biochemical efficacy of Osanetant on men with prostate cancer undergoing curative intent therapy.	28 days
