About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Prostate Cancer
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Histologically confirmed prostate cancer
- At least one biopsy core with Gleason 7 or higher disease
- The patient has decided to undergo brachytherapy plus androgen suppression as treatment modality for his prostate cancer (with or without supplemental external beam radiation)
- Suitable volume of disease for biopsy:
- clinically palpable disease corresponding to (ipsilateral to) any involved core on biopsy
- Signed study-specific consent form prior to registration
Exclusion Criteria:
- Known hypersensitivity or allergic response to flutamide
- Severe hepatic impairment
- Major medical or psychiatric illness which, in the investigator's opinion, would prevent completion of treatment and would interfere with follow up.

5. Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a prospective, single-center, two-phase study to assess the efficacy of single pulsed-dose flutamide in creating double strand breaks (DSBs) in prostate cancer within patients receiving central androgen suppression and brachytherapy.
Detailed Description
This is a prospective, single-center, two-phase study to assess the efficacy of single pulsed-dose flutamide in creating DSBs (double strand breaks) in prostate cancer within patients receiving central androgen suppression and brachytherapy. The initial phase is a 6-patient single-arm run-in phase to test feasibility and rule out futility of the intervention. All patients within the run-in phase will receive 50mg flutamide prior to brachytherapy and prostatic biopsy. If futility is ruled out (>1 patients with DSBs on biopsy), then accrual will continue in the randomized, double-blind phase. Subjects will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio (12:6 patients), for an all-trial total of 18 patients receiving flutamide vs 6 patients receiving placebo.
