Bicalutamide With or Without Metformin for Biochemical Recurrence in Overweight or Obese Prostate Cancer Patients (BIMET-1)
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Observation and Bicalutamide and Metformin and Bicalutamide for Cancer of Prostate. Completed, enrolled 29 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
Obesity and metabolic syndrome are prevalent among prostate cancer patients. Having an elevated insulin level in the blood is associated with a shorter median time to cancer progression and median overall survival in patients with an elevated PSA after prior treatment. Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with drugs like bicalutamide is frequently used in this patient population,with no proven benefit, which may increase mortality and morbidity.This study evaluates how metformin in combination with bicalutamide affects prostate cancer.
