Metformin in Preventing Androgen Deprivation Therapy Induced Insulin Resistance and Metabolic Syndrome

Overview[ - collapse ][ - ]

Purpose The main purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of metformin in abrogating androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) induced insulin resistance as measured by homeostasis model assessment (HOMAIR) in men with non-metastatic prostate cancer.

Current Primary Outcome MeasuresThe percentage change in insulin resistance measured by homeostasis model assessment (HOMAIR) from baseline to 12 and 24 weeks [Time Frame: 12 and 24 weeks] [Designated as safety issue: No]
Current Secondary Outcome Measures
  • To assess the efficacy of metformin in abrogating ADT-induced insulin resistance as measured by whole-body insulin sensitivity index(ISI) at 3 and 6 months [Time Frame: 12 and 24 weeks] [Designated as safety issue: No]
  • To assess the efficacy of metformin in reducing the incidence of ADT-induced metabolic syndrome at 3 and 6 months [Time Frame: 12 and 24 weeks] [Designated as safety issue: No]
  • To assess the efficacy of metformin in reducing ADT-induced percentage body fat mass gain 6 months [Time Frame: 24 weeks] [Designated as safety issue: No]
  • To assess the efficacy of metformin in reducing ADT-induced hypercholesterolemia at 3 and 6 months [Time Frame: 12 and 24 weeks] [Designated as safety issue: No]
  • To validate measurement of insulin resistance by HOMAIR with euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp in a subgroup group of participants [Time Frame: 24 weeks] [Designated as safety issue: No]

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

- ≥ 18 years of age

- ECOG ≤ 1

- Histologically confirmed prostate cancer of early or locally advanced stage, or
metastatic prostate cancer with bone involvement only (≤ 5 sites of bone metastases
only)

- Plan to receive ≥ 6 months continuous androgen deprivation therapy by a GnRH agonist

- Patients who are to receive antiandrogens with GnRH agonists are not excluded from
the study. But the form, dose and duration of antiandrogen treatment should be
recorded.

- Adequate renal function (Creatinine ≤ 177mMol/L and GFR >30 mls/min )

- Adequate hepatic function (Bilirubin must be ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal range, ALT
and ALP must be ≤ 2.5 x upper limit of normal)

Exclusion Criteria:

- Visceral involvement

- > 5 sites of bone metastases

- History of confirmed diabetes mellitus (patients with impaired fasting glucose or
impaired glucose intolerance will not be excluded) 12

- Treatment with medications that may alter glucose or insulin level within 3 months
(including insulin, oral hypoglycemic agents, systemic corticosteroid of any dosage,
atypical antipsychotic drugs of any dose)

- Malignant disease other than prostate cancer at the time of enrolment

- Bilateral orchiectomy

- Previous androgen deprivation therapy by a GnRH agonist or anti-androgen within last
12 months(patient who had a GnRH agonist more than 12 months ago are allowed if their
testosterone levels are in the normal range at the time of recruitment)

- Chemotherapy within 6 months

- History of lactic acidosis

- Cardiac or respiratory insufficiency, severe infection that is likely to increase the
risk of lactic acidosis

- Medical or psychiatric conditions that compromise the patient's ability to give
informed consent
