- Tumor specimen obtained prior to treatment initiation by interventional radiology
guided biopsy will be interrogated per immunohistochemistry (IHC) and features should
be as follows for a patient to be eligible
- Overexpression of androgen receptor (AR)-C terminal and AR-N terminal and PTEN
with lack of ARV7 expression along with and ki67 =<10%
- No combined RB loss and p53 mutation and
- No expression of neuroendocrine markers CD56 and chromogranin (all markers
assessed by standardized IHC protocols)

birth control if he is having sex with a woman of childbearing potential or agrees to
use a condom if he is having sex with a woman who is pregnant while on study drug and

as a diaphragm or cervical/vault caps) with a spermicidal agent. Your female
partner can choose to use an intrauterine device or system (intrauterine device
[IUD] or intrauterine system [IUS]) or use birth control pills, injections, or
implants instead of a barrier method

5-alpha reductase inhibitors (finasteride, dutasteride), estrogens, chemotherapy, or
biologic therapy within 4 weeks of enrollment (day 1 visit)
