1. OBJECTIVES 
 
Androgen deficiency is common and associated with bothersome symptoms of sexual dysfunction, physical 
dysfunction, and fatigue in men with organ-localized prostate cancer who have undergone radical 
prostatectomy and have undetectable PSA levels for 2 or more years after their surgery. LY2452473 (LY 
SARM), a highly selective SARM, is particularly attractive for the treatment of symptoms of androgen 
deficiency in these patients because it displays agonist activities on sexual function and muscle but 
antagonist activity in the prostate in preclinical models and in human trials of up to 6 months duration. Our 
overall objective is to conduct a double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, randomized dose ranging 
trial to determine the efficacy and safety of a SARM in improving the symptoms of androgen deficiency 
(sexual symptoms, fatigue/low vitality, and physical dysfunction) in men with prostate cancer who have 
undergone radical prostatectomy for organ-localized prostate cancer (pT2,N0,M0), Gleason score < 7 (3+4) 
, who have undetectable PSA (<0.1 ng/mL using a sensitive PSA assay) for > 2 years after radical 
prostatectomy, and who have androgen deficiency. In addition to demonstrating its safety, our first aim is to 
compare  0, 1,5 or 15 mg of LY SARM in men, who have undergone radical prostatectomy for organ-
localized prostate cancer, have symptomatic androgen deficiency and very low risk of disease recurrence, 
with regard to sexual function (sexual activity score, sexual desire, erectile function, distress and sexual life 
quality). The second aim is to compare the effects of 0, 1, 5 or 15 mg of SARM on fatigue, well-being and 
affectivity balance, and disease-specific quality of life. Our third aim is to determine whether SARM 
administration improves muscle mass and strength, and self-reported and performance-based measures of 
physical function, and aerobic capacity (VO2max , VO2 peak, and lactate threshold)more than placebo.   
 
1.1 
Study Design 
 
This will be a staged phase IIA randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel group, double blind trial in men, 19 
years of age or older, who have undergone radical prostatectomy for organ-localized prostate cancer, have 
low testosterone levels and associated symptoms, and are deemed to be at low risk of recurrence. At the end,  
114 subjects will have been randomized to placebo (n=36), 1 mg (n=28), 5 mg (n=36), and 15 mg (n=14) 
doses.  A target sample size of 114participants from three trial sites will have 90% power to test the primary 
hypothesis. 
 
1.2 
Primary Objectives 
 
Our overall objective is to conduct a double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, randomized dose 
ranging trial to determine the efficacy and safety of a SARM in improving the symptoms of androgen

who have undergone radical prostatectomy for organ-localized prostate cancer (pT2,N0,M0), Gleason score 
<7 (3+4) who have undetectable PSA (<0.1 ng/mL using a sensitive PSA assay) for > 2 years after radical 
prostatectomy, and who have androgen deficiency. In addition to demonstrating its safety, our first aim is to 
compare  0, 1, 5 or 15 mg of LY SARM in men, who have undergone radical prostatectomy for organ-

2. BACKGROUND 
 
2.1 
Study Disease(s) 
 
Prostate cancer is the most common malignancy in American men, accounting for 29% of all diagnosed 
cancers and approximately 13% of all cancer deaths; its incidence is on the rise, partly due to increased 
screening with PSA52. In 2010, approximately 217,730 new cases of prostate cancer were diagnosed in the 
United States, and there were 32,050 deaths related to prostate cancer53. The majority of these men have 
low-grade, organ-confined prostate cancer and excellent prospects of long term survival54-57. Substantial 
improvement in survival in men with prostate cancer has focused attention on the high prevalence of sexual 
dysfunction, physical dysfunction, and low vitality in these men11-25, 58-61, which are important contributors 
to poor quality of life among these patients11-18, 23. The pathophysiology of these symptoms - sexual 
dysfunction, fatigue/low vitality, and depressed mood - after radical prostatectomy is multifactorial, but 
androgen deficiency is an important remediable contributor to these symptoms.

Preclinical and Phase I and II Experience with LY SARM 
LY SARM, an oral, tissue-specific SARM, displays agonist effects on sexual function, anabolic effects on the 
muscle and bone, with antagonist effect on the prostate. Because of its AR antagonist properties on the prostate, 
its application is also being explored for the treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy and prostate cancer.  
There were no potentially serious or life threatening toxicities for LY SARM in preclinical toxicology 
studies. LY SARM-induced pharmacological effects consistent with androgen receptor agonism in repeat dose 
toxicological studies. The primary adverse effects in rats and dogs involved changes in reproductive organs 
consistent with the expected effects of an androgen receptor agonist. Safety pharmacology studies of up to 6-
month duration indicate a high safety margin for the drug.  In toxicological studies, LY SARM demonstrated no 
drug-related effects at doses up to 1000 mg/kg in gastrointestinal (GI), renal, pulmonary, and cardiovascular 
function studies.  
In gonadectomized rodent model, LY SARM demonstrated anabolic effects on muscle and 
osteoanabolic properties on bone mass and biomechanical strength at doses that had no significant effect on 
prostate and seminal vesicles. Its nearly complete selectivity for AR has been demonstrated in preclinical 
models, and in phase I and II human trials. LY SARM has demonstrated agonistic activity on sexual function 
(stimulated mating behavior, sexual arousal, NOS, and PDE5 expression).  
LY SARM has shown high degree of tissue selectivity. In a canine model, the administration of LY 
SARM was associated with a 40% reduction of prostate volume, consistent with its AR antagonist properties in 
the prostate. In mice bearing explants of AR+ prostate cancer, LY SARM suppressed the growth of explants.

LY SARM has undergone testing in multiple phase I and II trials, which have established its safety in 
doses of up to 75 mg daily in humans. Clinical trials of up to 6-month duration have been conducted. In phase I 
dose ranging studies of 21 day duration (figure 1), LY SARM increased muscle volume by pQCT (figure 1, left 
panel) and suppressed PSA levels (figure 1, right panel), and exhibited no grade 2 or 3 toxicity.  LY SARM 
shares with other oral androgens the property of lowering HDL cholesterol as well as total cholesterol modestly. 
These data demonstrate LY SARM’s safety and tissue selectivity; it is an agonist on the skeletal muscle and an 
antagonist on the prostate. Consequently, unlike testosterone or other androgens, LY SARM would not be 
expected to promote the growth of prostate cancer. This is analogous to the use of tamoxifen, a selective 
estrogen receptor modulator (SERM), which acts as an agonist on the uterus and bone but as an antagonist in 
the breast tissue.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
In phase II efficacy trials of 12 week duration, 5 mg LY SARM daily was demonstrated to be safe 
and increased lean body mass by ~1.5 kg and muscle volume (by CT) by 4-6%, and significantly 
reduced fat mass in line with other SARMs and replacement doses of testosterone.  There was an 
expected decrease in total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol. No grade 2 or 3 toxicity was recorded.     
 
 
 
Several other SARM molecules have undergone phase I and II trials and one has undergone a 
phase III trial in patients with cancer cachexia. These trials have shown these SARM molecules to be 
generally safe. The class effects include a modest reversible decrease in total and HDL cholesterol, 
and mild transaminase elevations in a small fraction of subjects.

Androgen deficiency in men who have undergone prostatectomy for organ-localized prostate cancer is 
common1-12 and often associated with bothersome symptoms13-17 and other adverse health effects that 
contribute to poor health-related quality of life (HRQOL)18-23. Improved survival of men with prostate 
cancer has focused attention on strategies to treat symptoms and improve the overall HRQOL18-23.  
Androgen signaling plays an important role in prostate cancer growth24-31. Testosterone therapy promotes 
the growth of metastatic prostate cancer and androgen deprivation causes regression of metastatic prostate 
cancer32-34. Not surprisingly, the expert guidelines of many professional societies list prostate cancer as a 
contraindication for androgen supplementation24-25. This proscriptive guidance does not fully reflect our 
new understanding of the complex relationship between testosterone and prostate cancer1-5, 34-42. 
Epidemiologic studies have revealed no consistent relationship between testosterone levels and prostate 
cancer risk34-40.  
Several elegant studies have found little or no effect of testosterone administration on intraprostatic 
androgen concentrations or on androgen-dependent gene expression in the prostate41-42. Several open-label 
trials of testosterone have reported very low rates of disease recurrence in men with prostate cancer who 
have undergone radical prostatectomy1-11,43-44. Consequently, testosterone use among men who have 
undergone radical prostatectomy has been increasing, even though neither the safety nor the efficacy of 
testosterone therapy in improving outcomes has been established in these patients. A confluence of 
historical factors – improved survival of men with prostate cancer, a growing recognition of the importance 
of symptom control in the lives of cancer survivors, increasing off-label use of testosterone in patients who 
have undergone radical prostatectomy, and accumulation of clinical experience from nonrandomized trials - 
has highlighted the need for randomized trials of androgen therapy in men with a history of prostate cancer, 
particularly for those, who experience symptoms of androgen deficiency – sexual dysfunction, fatigue, and 
physical dysfunction.  
Selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) are a new class of ligands that displays tissue-selective 
anabolic activity in the muscle, anti-resorptive and anabolic activity in bone, androgenic activity in 
maintaining sexual behavior, and robust selectivity for muscle versus prostate45-51. LY2452473 (LY 
SARM), a highly selective SARM, is particularly attractive in men with prostate cancer because it displays 
agonist activity on sexual function and muscle but antagonist activity in the prostate in preclinical models 
and in human trials of up to 6-month duration. Unlike testosterone, LY SARM induces prostate atrophy in 
dogs and lowers PSA in men. Consequently, the administration of Lilly SARM would not be expected to 
increase the risk of disease recurrence; it is, in fact, possible that it may reduce prostate cancer recurrence 
risk. This is analogous to the use of tamoxifen in women with breast cancer; tamoxifen, a selective estrogen 
receptor modulator (SERM), is an estrogen antagonist in the breast but an agonist on the endometrium and 
bone.  Thus, we believe that the clinical application of such a selective, prostate sparing SARM would be a 
very major scientific breakthrough.

This will be a phase IIA randomized, placebo-controlled, parallel group, double blind trial in men, 19 years 
of age or older, who have undergone radical prostatectomy for organ-localized prostate cancer, have low 
testosterone levels and associated symptoms, and are deemed to be at low risk of recurrence. At the end, a 
total of 135 subjects will have been randomized; 36, 28, 26 and 14 men to placebo, 1 mg, 5 mg and 15 mg 
doses, respectively.   
 
3.1 
Eligibility Criteria 
 
3.1.1 Age 19 years or older.   
3.1.2 Prostate cancer, with organ-localized disease with very low risk of disease recurrence, as indicated by 
Stage pT2, N0, M0 lesions(if AJCC staging is not available in medical records, the investigators will 
infer the staging based on extensive review of the pathology report),combined Gleason score of 7 (3+4) 
or less, and preoperative PSA<10 ng/ml.The rationale for selecting men with these criteria is that this 
group of men has <0.5% disease recurrence rate over ten years [if pre-operative PSA is not available in 
medical records, low-risk subjects with a Gleason score of 6(3+3) and who are at least 5 years out of 
surgery will be considered for enrollment]. 
3.1.3 Stable and undetectable PSA level (PSA<0.1 ng/mL using an assay that has a functional sensitivity of 
0.1 ng/mL) for at least two years after radical prostatectomy  
3.1.4 Serum testosterone, measured by LC-MS/MS, <300 ng/dL and/or calculated free testosterone ≤70 
pg/mL.  
3.1.5 Self-reported sexual dysfunction (DISF-M-II score ≤20 in the sexual desire domain), and/or fatigue 
(FACIT-F score<30), or physical dysfunction (self-reported difficulty in walking a 1/4 mile or climbing 
two flights of stairs, and short physical performance battery score (SPPB) between 4 to 9).  
3.1.6 Ability to understand and willingness to sign a written informed consent document. 
3.1.7 Agreeing to use adequate contraception prior to receiving the study drug, for the duration of study 
participation, and 4 months after completion of LY SARM administration. The effects of LY2452473 
(LY SARM) on the developing human fetus are unknown.  For this reason and because SARM agents are 
known to be teratogenic, women of child-bearing potential and men must agree to use adequate 
contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control, or abstinence) prior to study entry and for 
the duration of study participation.  Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while 
her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.   
 
3.2 
Exclusion Criteria 
3.2.1 Men who have undergone radiation therapy alone will be excluded because defining biochemical 
recurrence can be difficult in these men due to fluctuating PSA levels.  
3.2.2 Prior or current androgen deprivation therapy 
3.2.3 Hematocrit > 50% 
3.2.4 Severe untreated sleep apnea (treatment is defined as therapy with CPAP, BiPAP, ASV, or other 
positive air pressure device) 
3.2.5 Uncontrolled heart failure as defined by New York Heart Association(NYHA)class 3 or 4 
3.2.6 History of HIV (protease inhibitors can have interaction with the SARM)  
3.2.7 Myocardial infarction, acute coronary syndrome, revascularization surgery, or stroke within 3 months

3.3 
Screening, Recruitment, and Enrollment 
 
Participant Screening 
 
Participants identified through institutional urology groups will be prescreened using medical records to 
determine if they are potentially eligible.  The potentially eligible subjects will be contacted for further 
screening.  If participants are interested, verbal consent will be obtained via an IRB approved script prior to 
administering a telephone screening with a standardized script and questionnaire.  
 
At the Brigham and Women’s Hospital site (BWH), use of EPIC and at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical 
Center (BIDMC) subject referring site, use of the PIMS will be utilized to identify potential study subjects. 
 
After obtaining consent, to determine eligibility, a directed medical history will be obtained and blood 
count, chemistries, total and free testosterone, and PSA will be measured. The pathological stage and 
pretreatment PSA level will be obtained from medical records. Subjects meeting eligibility criteria will be 
scheduled for baseline studies. 
 
Participant Recruitment and Enrollment 
Participants will be enrolled from the urology clinics at BWH and BIDMC (subject referring site only), 
from the oncology clinics at Dana Farber Cancer Center at the Boston site, from the Brady Urological 
Research Institute at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institute at the Baltimore site, and from the urology clinics 
and from the general community at the UFL site. At BWH we also will employ direct mailings to patients 
with prostate cancer identified through the institutional urology groups and medical records, institutional 
portals such as the Research Patient Data Registry (RPDR) and Research Study Volunteer Program (RSVP), 
whose use for subject recruitment has been IRB-approved.  
 
RPDR is a centralized clinical data registry, or data warehouse. The RPDR gathers data from various 
hospital legacy systems and stores it in one place. The RPDR has two related but separate functions. First, 
an online Query Tool provides users with aggregate numbers of patients with user-defined characteristics 
such as diagnoses, procedures and/or laboratory results. Patient identifiers are not available at this function 
level. Secondly, the RPDR Data Acquisition Engine (DAE) allows the user to receive more detailed medical 
record information about the queried patients. 
 
Research Study Volunteer Program (RSVP for Health) is a database that allows researchers to search by 
disease area, age, race, gender, and ethnicity. Once the researcher identifies the population they'd like to 
contact, RSVP for Health sends potential volunteers an email containing the IRB-approved study 
announcement and prepares letters for those who wish to be contacted through US mail. The identity of 
potential volunteers is maintained until they choose to contact the research team.

4. REGISTRATION PROCEDURES 
 
4.1 
General Guidelines for DF/HCC and DF/PCC Institutions 
 
Institutions will register eligible participants with the DF/HCC Office of Data Quality (ODQ) central 
registration system. Registrations must occur prior to the initiation of protocol therapy. Any participant not 
registered to the protocol before protocol therapy begins will be considered ineligible and registration will 
be denied. 
 
An investigator will confirm eligibility criteria and a member of the study team will complete the (ODQ) 
protocol-specific eligibility checklist. 
 
Patients are randomized at the time of registration, and treatment assignment will be communicated to each 
respective site investigational pharmacy so that the proper treatment assignment can be allocated to each 
patient. The biostatistician will provide the (ODQ) Registrars with the treatment assignment list prior to 
study activation. At the time of registration, the confirmation of registration would be sent to the study team, 
while the treatment assignment would be sent directly to pharmacy. 
 
Following registration, participants may begin protocol therapy. Issues that would cause treatment delays 
should be discussed with the Overall Principal Investigator (PI). Notify the (ODQ) Registrar of registration 
cancellations as soon as possible. 
 
4.2 
Registration Process for DF/HCC and DF/PCC Institutions 
 
The (ODQ) registration staff is accessible on Monday through Friday, from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Eastern 
Standard Time. In emergency situations when a participant must begin protocol therapy during off-hours or 
holidays, call the (ODQ) registration line at 617-632-3761 and follow the instructions for registering 
participants after hours. 
 
The registration procedures are as follows: 
 
• Obtain written informed consent from the participant prior to the performance of any protocol 
specific procedures or assessments.  
 
• Complete the (ODQ) protocol-specific eligibility checklist using the eligibility assessment 
documented in the participant’s medical record and/or research chart. To be eligible for registration 
to the protocol, the participant must meet all inclusion and exclusion criterion as described in 
the protocol and reflected on the eligibility checklist. 
 
• Reminder: Confirm eligibility for ancillary studies at the same time as eligibility for a treatment 
protocol. Registration to both treatment and ancillary protocols will not be completed if eligibility 
requirements are not met for all studies.  
 
• Fax the eligibility checklist(s) and all pages of the consent form(s) to the (ODQ) at 617-632-2295. 
For Phase I protocols, attach participant dose level assignment confirmation from the sponsor. 
 
• The (ODQ) Registrar will (a) review the eligibility checklist, (b) register the participant on the 
protocol, and (c) randomize the participant when applicable.

• An email confirmation of the registration will be sent to the Overall PI, study coordinator(s) from the 
Lead Site, treating investigator and registering person immediately following the registration. 
Treatment assignment will be sent directly to pharmacy via fax. 
 
4.3 
General Guidelines for Other Investigative Sites 
 
Eligible participants will be entered in to the study centrally at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital by the 
Study Coordinator.   
 
Following registration, participants should begin protocol therapy within 5 days. Issues that would cause 
treatment delays should be discussed with the Overall PI.  The Study Coordinator should be notified of 
cancellations as soon as possible. 
 
Research activities for participants originating from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center will occur at 
Brigham and Women’s Hospital and will be registered by the Brigham and Women’s Hospital study 
coordinator.  Participants referred from BIDMC will continue their routine clinical care outside of the 
research protocol. 
 
4.4 
Registration Process for Other Investigative Sites 
 
The registration process for other investigative sites is located in the DSMP in section 15.7.1. 
 
 
5. TREATMENT AND/OR IMAGING PLAN 
 
5.1 
Criteria and Process for Unblinding 
In both urgent and non-urgent situations: Only the trial’s Data and Safety Monitoring Board is authorized to 
request unblinding of participant-level intervention assignment in one or more subjects in non-urgent 
situations should a safety concern so warrants. In urgent situations, the Principal Investigator may direct the 
study physician to unblind the intervention assignment should this information be deemed necessary by the 
patient’s primary care provider or emergency department clinician to manage an urgent medical condition.  
 
5.2 
Treatment Regimen 
 
LY SARM or Placebo will be administered daily for a period of 12 weeks.  LY SARM or Placebo will be 
dispensed to the subject in pill form in four week supplies.  The drug or placebo will be dispensed at 
baseline (Visit 2b), week 4, and week8.   Reported adverse events and potential risks are described in 
Section 7.  No investigational or prohibited therapies other than those described below may be administered 
during the course of this study. 
 
The study medication should be taken daily in the morning on an empty stomach at about the same time 
each day.  The medication should be swallowed whole with water.  The bottle containing the medication 
should be stored at room temperature.  The medication does not need refrigeration.  If the subject vomits 
after taking the dose and sees the study drug capsule in the emesis, he should wait for an hour and then 
retake a new capsule of the medication.  If the subject does not see the study drug capsule in the emesis, he 
should not take another dose.  If the subject forgets to take the drug in the morning and remembers it later 
during the day including bedtime, he should go ahead and take the drug for that day as soon as it is

remembered.  The medication is best taken in the morning on a fasting stomach at least 30 minutes before 
any meal, although if the participant forgets to take a dose but remembers later in the day, he should take the 
medication at that time. It may not be practical for many individuals, who are employed, to fast during the 
day.   Breakfast can be eaten 30 minutes or later after taking the study medication.  There are no prohibited 
foods.  The drug is supplied in capsules. At one time, subjects will be provided sufficient medicine for a 
period of 4 weeks. At the end of the 4 week period, they should return any unused medication to the study 
staff along with the filled–in drug diary.  
 
We will measure compliance using medication logs and pill counts, which provide the best trade-off 
between accuracy and cost283-284. The participant will be requested to maintain a medication diary of each 
dose of medication that will be provided to them by the study staff.  The medication diary will be returned 
to clinic staff at the end of each cycle.  Furthermore, pill counts will be done to measure compliance.  
Medication logs will be collected and unused pills will be counted. Adherence will be assessed as number of 
pills used divided by number of days.  
 
1. LY2452473 is supplied as an oral capsule drug product in size 2 opaque white gelatin capsules. Each 
capsule contains 1 mg, 5 mg or 15 mg of LY2452473 and the inactive ingredients pregelatinized starch 
and dimethicone. LY2452473 is intended to be supplied for the proposed clinical trial as capsules 
packaged in 30 count white, induction sealed high density polyethylene (HDPE) bottles with child-
resistant closures.  
2. The drug product will be packaged and supplied to the IDS by Catalent Pharma Solutions, Kansas 
City, Missouri, USA. 
3. The drug product will be stored at room temperature (25°C) with allowable excursions between 15 - 
30°C. 
4. The drug will be dispensed by the IDS in an amount sufficient for 30 days.  
5. The IDS will release the study medication to an authorized study staff upon receipt of a prescription 
written and signed by a study clinician. The study staff will dispense the study medication to the 
participant in accordance with the study protocol along with a set of written instructions on how to 
take the medication. 
6. The study staff will retrieve the unused medication from the participant for the purpose of assessing 
adherence.    
 
Subject Intervention  
The study intervention includes placebo and three doses of LY SARM (1, 5 and 15 mg daily). Subjects who 
meet the eligibility criteria, will be randomized, to either placebo, 1 mg SARM, 5 mg SARM or 15 mg 
SARM daily.  The subject assignment will be based on the randomization tables, using permuted blocks 
with varying blocks sizes. Subjects will be stratified by age (19-50 and >50) and use of phosphodiesterase 5 
inhibitors (PDEIs); PDEIs may influence sexual function (and mood and HRQOL) independently228-231. 
Stratification variables will be included as covariates in analyses. 
 
SARM Doses and Regimen 
The participants will be randomly assigned to receive either placebo, 1 mg LY SARM, 5 mg LY SARM, or 
15 mg LY SARM daily for 12 weeks. In phase II trials of up to 6-month duration, these doses were safe and 
effective in increasing lean body mass. 5 mg dose increased fat-free mass by an average 1.5 kg in men.  
 

NCI Protocol #: Not Applicable 
DF/HCC Protocol #:15-120 
Protocol Version Date: 02/05/2019 
14 
 
Intervention Duration 
The effects of SARM as well as testosterone on sexual function, muscle mass, strength, well being and 
mood become apparent within 3 months48, 171-177; PSA levels rise within 3-4 weeks and reach a plateau by 
12-weeks109-110. Thus, 3-month duration will be sufficient to detect meaningful changes in outcomes and 
PSA. 
 
Phosphodiesterase Inhibitors Use 
PDEIs may independently affect sexual function (and HRQOL)226-231. To minimize confounding due to 
PDEI use, we will stratify randomization based on PDEI use. PDEI use will be used as a covariate in 
analyses. 
 
5.3 
Pre-Treatment Criteria 
 
Prior to subject’s enrollment, the study coordinators will explain the purpose of the study, the study 
procedures, and potential risks and benefits of participation in this trial, and answer any questions. The 
subjects will be asked to sign the IRB-approved consent form. To determine eligibility, a directed medical 
history will be obtained, and blood count, chemistries, total and free testosterone, and PSA will be 
measured. The pathological stage and pretreatment PSA level will be obtained from medical records. 
Subjects meeting eligibility criteria will be scheduled for baseline studies. Subjects, who meet the eligibility 
criteria will undergo baseline studies, which include baseline complete blood count, blood chemistries, and 
baseline assessment of physical function, sexual function, fatigue, as described in the protocol. The subjects 
who are eligible and have completed the baseline assessments will be randomized.  
 
5.4 
Agent Administration 
 
Administration –The dose will be 0 mg (placebo), 1 mg, 5 mg, or 15 mg of LY SARM depending upon 
which study group that the subject is randomly assigned to.  LY SARM or Placebo will be taken orally, 
once per day.  The intervention period is twelve weeks.  Subjects will be given the drug in four week 
supplies at baseline (Visit 2b), week 4 and week 8.  Their compliance will be measured by pill counts at 
week 4, week 8 and week 12.  In addition, medication logs will be given to subjects. 
 
Protocol specific procedures –A study physician will obtain consent. The safety laboratory results will be 
reviewed by one of the study physicians. During each visit, a research coordinator will ask the participants 
about any adverse events. A study clinician will perform a physical examination at screening and during 
weeks 6 and 12.A study physician will be available if an issue arises at the study visits with the research 
coordinator. 
 
The research staff will take interim status during baseline, weeks 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12.  During interim status, 
the subject will be asked questions about any changes in health or medication.  Blood tests will be done at 
screening, baseline, as well as during weeks 2, 4, 6, and 12.  DXA and strength assessments will be 
performed at baseline and during week 12.   
 
Infusion Reactions – Subjects will be monitored for PSA level, hematocrit, hemoglobin, HDL level, and 
liver enzymes. 
 
Sometimes due to scheduling issues, staff availability, inclement weather or subject availability, we may ask 
the subject to return to our research clinic in order to complete a visit or a specific procedure at a different 
time or day. This may affect some of the procedures at any visit. In case of such an event, if the subject

parks in our valet parking area, their parking will be validated.  
 
The investigators may omit any strength assessments (muscle performance or physical function procedures) 
for safety purposes. In such instances, the investigators will determine which procedures will be omitted and 
this will be documented in the subject’s study file.   
 
Caregiver Precautions -  
Nurse’s/ Study Staff’s Instructions to Patients  
1. The medication should not be dispensed by a woman who is pregnant or may become pregnant. 
Women who are pregnant or may become pregnant must use caution when cleaning up vomited 
matter.

The case report form will be developed to capture the concurrent use of all other drugs, over-the-counter 
medications, or alternative therapies.   
 
• The use of the following medications if not allowed during the course of the study: testosterone, 
DHEA, estrogens, GnRH analogs, antiandrogens, spironolactone, ketoconazole, rhGH, megesterol 
acetate, prednisone 20 mg daily or equivalent doses of other glucocorticoids 
 
5.6 
Criteria for Taking a Participant Off Protocol Therapy 
 
Treatment will continue for 12 weeks or until one of the following criteria applies: 
 
• An increase in PSA to 0.2 ng/mL or higher, if confirmed by a repeated test, will result in treatment 
discontinuation and referral to a urologist. An increase in PSA will be confirmed by a repeat test which 
may result in removal from the study. The study team will contact the participant within a week after 
test result becomes available for scheduling the repeat test if the first test revealed an increase in PSA. 
If the repeat test confirms the elevation, the intervention will be stopped and the participant will 
continue to be followed in the study per intent-treat analytical design. The study medication will 
continue until the results of the repeated test become available. The participant will also be referred to 
a urologist, medical oncologist, or a primary care provider depending on the nature of the problem. If 
the repeat test does not confirm the elevation, the participant will continue in the study and have the 
next set of lab tests per study protocol. 
• Any other sign of disease recurrence (e.g., evidence of bone metastasis detected by the subject’s 
oncologist) 
• Myocardial infarction or stroke   
• Unacceptable adverse event(s) 
• Participant demonstrates an inability or unwillingness to comply with the oral medication regimen 
and/or documentation requirements 
• Participant decides to withdraw from the protocol therapy 
• General or specific changes in the participant's condition render the participant unacceptable for 
further treatment in the judgment of the treating investigator 
• Other DLTs include hematocrit increase above 54% and transaminase elevation above 1.25 times the 
upper limit of normal, confirmed by repeating these tests. An increase in hematocrit and transaminase 
will be confirmed by a repeat test which may result in removal from the study. The study team will 
contact the participant within a week after test result becomes available for scheduling the repeat test 
if the first test revealed an increase in hematocrit or transaminases. If the repeat test confirms the 
elevation, the intervention will be stopped and the participant will continue to be followed in the study 
per intent-treat analytical design. The study medication will continue until the results of the repeated 
test become available. The participant will also be referred to a urologist, medical oncologist, or a 
primary care provider depending on the nature of the problem. If the repeat test does not confirm the 

NCI Protocol #: Not Applicable 
DF/HCC Protocol #:15-120 
Protocol Version Date: 02/05/2019 
17 
 
elevation, the participant will continue in the study and have the next set of lab tests per study protocol. 
Any abnormal liver function test, defined by a value that is greater than 1.25 times the upper limit of 
normal, will also require a repeat blood test within 3-7 days, to confirm the result and observe the 
trend. If the participant’s levels do not exceed 1.25 times the upper limit of normal, they will continue 
on the study medication and transaminases will be monitored.  
 
 
Note that for an abnormal lab value to meet the DLT definition, the lab test must be repeated and the repeat 
test must confirm the elevation.  
 
If the participants experience a grade 4 non-hematological toxicity, the study medication will be stopped and 
the participant will be referred to his medical oncologist, urologist, or the primary care provider depending 
on the nature of the toxicity. However, study assessments will continue per study’s intent-to-treat design. 
 
Participants will be removed from the protocol therapy when any of these criteria apply.  The reason for 
removal from protocol therapy, and the date the participant was removed, will be documented in the case 
report form (CRF). Alternative care options will be discussed with the participant. 
 
A ODQ Treatment Ended/Off Study Form will be filled out when a participant is removed from protocol 
therapy. This form can be found on the ODQ website or obtained from the ODQ registration staff. The 
QACT Treatment Ended/Off Study Form will be completed by each site and then sent the Coordinating 
Center for all study participants. 
 
In the event of unusual or life-threatening complications, treating investigators must immediately notify the 
Overall PI, Shalender Bhasin, MD at 617-525-9040.  
 
5.7 
Duration of Follow Up 
 
The subjects who come off the study medication for disease recurrence or adverse events will be referred to 
their urologist or medical oncologist or primary care provider for further evaluation and treatment, 
depending on the nature of the problem. Because of the intent-to-treat analytical design, they will continue 
to be followed in the study for further study assessments per protocol. 
 
5.8 
Criteria for Taking a Participant Off Study 
 
Participants will be removed from study when any of the following criteria apply: 
• Lost to follow-up 
• Withdrawal of consent 
• Death 
Consistent with the intent-to-treat primary analytical strategy, we will encourage all participants, including 
those in whom the study medication is discontinued because of the reasons listed above, to continue with 
their follow-up study assessments.  
 
The reason for taking a participant off study, and the date the participant was removed, will be documented 
in the case report form (CRF). 
 

NCI Protocol #: Not Applicable 
DF/HCC Protocol #:15-120

A ODQ Treatment Ended/Off Study Form will be filled out when a participant comes off study. This form 
can be found on the ODQ website or obtained from the ODQ registration staff.  
 
The ODQ Treatment Ended/Off Study Form will be completed by each site and then sent to the 
Coordinating Center for all study participants. 
 
5.9 
Study Stopping Rules 
 
In light of the phase I and II trials data, we anticipate very low rates of grade II or III toxicity. The main 
reason for trial’s early termination would be unexpectedly high rates of PSA recurrence. By virtue of the 
eligibility criteria, this population should have very low recurrence rates (<0.5% over 5 years).  
 
Among the first 50 enrolled subjects, we assume that we should have about 16 in placebo and about 34 or so 
in the two SARM arms.   
 
In the control group, we expect a recurrence rate of <0.5% over 5 years (for the purpose of this calculation, we 
assumed a recurrence rate of 0.5% over 5 years). We will accept a difference of no more than 3 between the 
placebo and the   SARM arms in aggregate after 50 subjects have been randomized. If the PSA recurrence 
occurs in 3 or more cases in the two SARM arms in aggregate or 3 or more cases in any one SARM arm, the 
DSMB may stop the trial. The probability of a single recurrence is 0.005 (probability of 'not recurrent' is 
0.995 at 5 years). Thus, if the bar is set at 3 recurrences, the probability of making an error and stopping early 
when in fact there is no extra risk conferred by SARM is only 1 in 1250.   
 
At 4 or more recurrences, the chance of erroneous early stoppage is 1 in 25000, which seems large. Therefore, 
we submit that a difference of 3 recurrences between the placebo arm and the 2 SARM arms in aggregate is 
reasonable as a stopping rule that DSMB will consider in its decision. The DSMB has the discretion of 
stopping the trial for other reasons.  
 
6. DOSING DELAYS/DOSE MODIFICATIONS 
 
No dose modifications are allowed. Dose modification is not planned in the context of this double blind 
phase II randomized trial for several reasons. One aim of the trial is to assess the dose response relationship 
of dose with the study’s outcomes, which could be compromised if the dose adjustment were to occur. The 
study is blinded; dose adjustment may unblind the study. Also, the drug will be manufactured in either 1 
mg, 5 mg or 15 mg capsules. Therefore, we do not have any mechanism for administering intermediate 
doses.  Furthermore, based on the preclinical animal data, and phase I and II previous human studies, we 
anticipate very low frequency of DLT. Also, we do not have any previous data to guide rational dose 
adjustment. 
 
If the subject forgets to take one or more doses, he will be asked to record the missed doses in the 
medication log and re-initiate the usual daily dosing. Study staff will encourage all participants to take all 
the pills as specified in the protocol. We will also perform pill counts and use drug logs to monitor 
compliance. However, because of the intent-to-treat analytical plan, the participants will continue in the 
study for their assessments per protocol. 
 
7. ADVERSE EVENTS:  LIST AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS 
 
Adverse event (AE) monitoring and reporting is a routine part of every clinical trial.  The following list of 

NCI Protocol #: Not Applicable 
DF/HCC Protocol #:15-120 
Protocol Version Date: 02/05/2019 
19 
 
reported and/or potential AEs (Section 7.1) and the characteristics of an observed AE (Section 7.2) will 
determine whether the event requires expedited reporting in addition to routine reporting. 
 
7.1 
Adverse Event List(s) for LY SARM 
In previous phase I and II studies of LY SARM, the drug was well tolerated and no drug-related grade II or III 
toxicities were recorded. A modest decrease in total cholesterol and HDL cholesterol was noted, which is a 
class effect of oral androgens. There were no clinically significant changes in liver function. No significant 
changes in hemoglobin and hematocrit were noted. In phase I studies, a decrease in PSA was noted. The class 
effects of oral androgens and SARMs include a decrease in total and HDL cholesterol, increase in hematocrit 
(not observed with this SARM), and mild increases in AST and ALT. There may also be a risk of disease 
recurrence although that risk would be very small because of LY SARM’s selectivity. 
 
7.2 
Adverse Event Characteristics 
 
• CTCAE term (AE description) and grade:  The descriptions and grading scales found in the revised 
NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0 will be utilized for AE 
reporting.  All appropriate treatment areas should have access to a copy of the CTCAE version 4.0.  A 
copy of the CTCAE version 4.0 can be downloaded from the CTEP web site 
http://ctep.cancer.gov/protocolDevelopment/electronic_applications/ctc.htm. 
 
• For expedited reporting purposes only:   
- 
AEs for the agent(s) that are listed above should be reported only if the adverse event varies in 
nature, intensity or frequency from the expected toxicity information which is provided. 
- 
Other AEs for the protocol that do not require expedited reporting are outlined in the next 
section(Expedited Adverse Event Reporting) under the sub-heading of Protocol-Specific Expedited 
Adverse Event Reporting Exclusions. 
 
• Attribution of the AE: 
- 
Definite – The AE is clearly related to the study treatment. 
- 
Probable – The AE is likely related to the study treatment. 
- 
Possible – The AE may be related to the study treatment. 
- 
Unlikely – The AE is doubtfully related to the study treatment. 
- 
Unrelated – The AE is clearly NOT related to the study treatment. 
 
7.3 
Expedited Adverse Event Reporting 
 
7.3.1 Investigators must report to the Overall PI any serious adverse event (SAE) that occurs after the initial 
dose of study treatment, during treatment, or within 30 days of the last dose of treatment on the local 
institutional SAE form.  
 
7.3.2 For multi-institution studies where a DF/HCC investigator is serving as the Overall Principal 
Investigator, each participating institution must abide by the reporting requirements set by the DF/HCC. 
This applies to any medical event equivalent to an unexpected grade 2 or 3 with a possible, probable or 
definite attribution, unexpected grade 4 toxicities, and grade 5 (death) regardless of study phase or 
attribution.

A list of the adverse events and potential risks associated with the investigational agent administered in this 
study can be found in Section 7.1. 
 
8.1 
LY SARM 
 
8.1.1 
Description 
 
LY2452473 is a white to practically white solid. The chemical name is: carbamic acid, N-[(2S)-7-cyano-
1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-4-(2-pyridinylmethyl)cyclopent[b]indol-2-yl]-,1-methylester. The alternate chemical 
name is: (S)-(7-cyano-4-pyridin-2-ylmethyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-cyclopenta[b]-carbamic acid isopropyl 
ester. The molecular formula is C22H22N4O2 and the molecular weight is 374.45 gmol-1. LY2452473 is 
practically insoluble in water, has a pKa of 3.17, pH of 9.2 and is stable when stored at room temperature. 
The chemical structure of LY2452473 is presented below: 
 
 
The plasma concentration-time profiles for LY2452473 after single dose up to 1000 mg showed 
measurable concentrations from 1 hour postdose, with maximum observed drug concentrations Cmax 4 to 
5 hours following dosing. The LY2452473 concentrations appeared to decline in a biexponential fashion 
characterized by a short distribution phase and a long terminal phase, with median terminal half-lives (t1/2) 
ranging between 26.6 and 55.1 hours across doses. Mean apparent oral clearance was low to moderate, 
ranging from 10.9 to 41.5 L/h across dose levels. The mean apparent volume of distribution at steady state 
(Vss/F) ranged from 388 to 2290 L across doses. Multiple dosing at 1 mg and 5 mg of LY2452473, also 
showed decline in a biexponential fashion characterized by a short distribution phase and a long terminal 
phase, with median terminal t½ ranging between 23.3 and 44.4 hours across doses The variability of Cmax 
at steady state (Cmax,ss) ranged from 14% to 84% across dose levels. The variability of AUC over the 
dosing interval at steady state (AUC[τ,ss]) ranged from 9% to 70% across dose levels. The pharmacokinetic 
characteristics observed supported once daily (QD) dosing.

for Drug Accountability and Storage.) 
 
The site study staff, designated by the investigator, will maintain a record of the inventory and 
disposition of the drug using the drug accountability form. The BWH Investigational Drug Services will 
also maintain a record of the study medication received from the manufacturer, the amount of study drug 
dispensed, and the amount returned or destroyed. 
 
8.1.11 Destruction and Return 
 
The unused supplies of the study drug will be returned by the study staff to BWH Investigational Drug 
Services, recorded, and destroyed by the BWH IDS. 
 
8.2 
Placebo 
 
The capsules containing the placebo and the LY SARM will be identical and they will be packaged in 
identical bottles and the label will not indicate whether the bottle contains active medication or placebo. 
Each capsule contains inactive ingredients pregelatinized starch and dimethicone similar in amount to that in 
active drug-containing capsules.  
 
The manufacturer will provide bulk supplies of placebo and active LY SARM 1 mg, 5 mg and 15 mg 
capsules. Although the placebo and LY SARM capsules will be identical in appearance and will have 
identical packaging, the pharmacy will have information on which bottles contain placebo and which 
contain active drug.  The BWH Investigational Drug Service utilizes the Investigational Drug Service 
Informatics System (IDSIS) to dispense placebo and investigational products in numerous clinical trials. 
The Investigational Drug Service Informatics System (IDSIS) employs bar scanning technology to verify 
the investigational medications dispensed against the subject’s treatment assignment in the clinical trials.

10. MEASUREMENT OF EFFECT 
10.1 
Primary Outcome 
Our primary outcome is change in sexual activity score, assessed by the Harbor-UCLA 7-day Sexual Function 
Questionnaire, because sexual dysfunction is one of the most prevalent symptoms in men, who have undergone 
radical prostatectomy, and it affects HRQOL. This scale has been used widely in testosterone trials, and sexual 
activity scores, assessed by this instrument, are responsive to therapy. The scale covers 3domains: 1) sexual desire 
and enjoyment;2) sexual activity; and 3) mood.  
 
10.2 
Secondary outcomes 
Other measures of sexual function. Erectile function will be assessed by IIEF, SAID, and DISF-M-II.  
The IIEF which has been validated in many trials of ED therapies, and shown to be responsive to androgen therapy 
in men with ED and low testosterone. The IIEF is a 15-item questionnaire that evaluates 5 response domains, 
including erectile function, intercourse satisfaction, and overall satisfaction. It has been shown to have high degree 
of specificity and sensitivity, reliability, internal consistency, and construct validity.  
The DISF-M-IIis a 25-item questionnaire that provides an estimate of perceived quality of sexual activities in 5 
response domains: sexual desire/drive, sexual arousal, sexual activity, orgasm, and sexual satisfaction/partner 
relationship. It comprehensively evaluates sexual desire and has been shown to have androgen-treatment sensitivity. 
The DISF-M was the main sexual function questionnaire in the NIA-funded The Testosterone Trial which is a trial of 
800 men evaluating the role of androgens on sexual function.  
The SAID is an 8-item questionnaire that evaluates 3 response domains, including sexual thinking, sexual arousal, 
and sexual activity. This questionnaire was validated using separate qualitative studies and provides an assessment 
of items associated with hypogonadism291, 292. 
Sexual desire will be assessed by Men’s Sexual Health Questionnaire (MSHQ) and by libido-related questions in 
IIEF, SAID, and DISF-M-II. MSHQ, a25-item questionnaire, provides a more robust assessment of libido than IIEF, 
especially in men with urogenital symptoms240, has high degree of internal consistency, reliability, and ability to 
discriminate between men with and without lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and sexual dysfunction.  
We will measure the impact of androgen deficiency and sexual dysfunction on HRQOL using the hormonal and 
sexual domains of the Expanded Prostate Cancer Index Composite (EPIC). The EPIC is a 50-item, disease-
specific HRQOL questionnaire designed to evaluate the impact of treatments on HRQOL in men with prostate 
cancer. Of its four domains, we will utilize the sexual and hormonal domains, which are affected by androgen 
deficiency and expected to improve with SARM therapy, and which are important to men with prostate cancer but 
are not weighed appropriately in generic HRQOL instruments. This instrument has been used in numerous prostate 
cancer trials, and shown to have high Cronbach alpha coefficient, construct validity, and excellent sensitivity to 
change in response to hormonal treatment.  
Fatigue will be assessed by the 13-item Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy fatigue scale(FACIT-F) 
and by the 4-item Hypogonadism Energy Diary (HED).  
The FACIT-F has been well-validated and responsive to treatment. SF-36 Vitality scale has also been used to assess 
vitality, but the FACIT-F is more sensitive to change in those with low vitality/high fatigue than SF36. Another 
reason for selecting FACIT-F is its inclusion as “legacy instrument” for the NIH Roadmap PROMIS Fatigue item 
bank. This will ensure comparability to PROMIS.  
The HED has been validated using separate qualitative studies and provides an assessment of low energy related to 
hypogonadism291, 292. 
Mood and well-being will be assessed by PANAS affectivity balance scale, which includes 10 questions each for 
Positive Affect and Negative Affect. Many behavioral scientists consider affectivity balance as the cleanest window 
on an individual’s wellbeing. The affectivity balance incorporates negative affects (e.g., anxiety, depression) as well 

NCI Protocol #:Not Applicable 
DF/HCC Protocol #:15-120 
Protocol Version Date: 09/12/2018 
 
27 
as positive affects (e.g., joy).Testosterone has been reported to improve mood and affect in hypogonadal men. 
Alphas for negative and positive affect scales are 0.85 and 0.88, respectively; one-week test-retest reliabilities are 
0.81 and 0.79. The instrument can detect changes in well being related to chronic illnesses and cancer. 
Muscle Performance and Physical Function. We will assess physical function by measuring walking speed in the 
6-min walk, stair climbing power, and load carrying time, self-reported physical function by the PF10 (physical 
function domain of MOS SF-36), maximal voluntary strength in the leg press exercise by the 1-RM method, and 
skeletal muscle mass by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). We have used these measures in many previous 
trials and they have been shown to be androgen-responsive.  
Hormone Levels. Total testosterone, DHT and estradiol will be measured by LC-MS/MS, free testosterone by 
equilibrium dialysis, and LH by an IFMA. These methods have been used in PI’s lab for >25 yrs.  
Safety measures: We will measure PSA, complete blood counts, plasma lipids, AST, ALT, bilirubin and alkaline 
phosphatase levels for safety monitoring.  A structured evaluation of cardiovascular adverse events will be 
performed using a form, developed for NIA-funded T trials. 
Physiologic measures. We will measure lean body mass using dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and 
maximal voluntary strength as mediators of improvements in physical function. VO2max and to a lesser extent VO2 
peak are markers of a person’s aerobic capacity. The lactate threshold is a marker of one’s capacity for prolonged, 
submaximal work without lactate accumulation and fatigue. We recognize that relationships of these physiologic 
mechanisms for aerobic energy production to fatigue are complex because in addition to these physiologic 
mechanisms, psychological factors, such as depressive symptoms, mood and wellbeing affect an individual’s 
perception of fatigue; accordingly, we will also assess mood and depressive symptoms. We propose to split the 
assessments for muscle performance and physical function into two non-consecutive days of testing in order to 
reduce subject burden and ensure more accurate data. 
At baseline, we propose to perform the cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPXT) alone on the first day of baseline 
testing. It is a longer test requiring progressively increasing subject effort to volitional fatigue and requires about 60 
minutes to administer. It also provides valuable safety data that may be used prior to other physical function 
assessments. The remainder of the tests (the 6-minute walk test, the stair climb power tests, the 50-m walk tests, and 
the leg press strength test)will be administered on the second day of baseline testing with appropriate and 
standardized rest periods between tests.

For the Week-12 (end of study) assessments, efforts will be made to repeat the test procedures in the same sequence 
and time of day; however, they could be altered to accommodate subject convenience and scheduling.

Protocol Version Date: 09/12/2018 
 
29 
STATISTICAL ANALYSIS 
 
12.1 
Descriptive Analyses 
 
Descriptive measures for each outcome and potential covariate will be computed. Graphical and tabular displays 
will be used to establish the distributional properties of outcomes and assess need for transformation. Preliminary 
assessments of association between covariates and outcomes will be obtained using semiparametric penalized 
likelihood approach implemented in generalized additive models256. We will use summary statistics and graphical 
techniques to compare baseline characteristics of groups.  
 
12.2 
Compliance Analysis 
 
Subject’s compliance will be assessed in terms of the number of doses used, based on pill counts, expressed as a 
percent of the total number of doses that should have been used.  
 
12.3 
Analytic plan 
 
Following appropriate variable transformations, the primary analysis will utilize mixed effects regression controlling 
for baseline values, randomization, and stratification. Primary inferential targets of interest will be difference in 
outcomes measures between the 4 arms, estimated using treatment contrasts. Secondary analyses will incorporate 
control for additional factors based on the results of exploratory analyses mentioned above. We will consider the 
possibility of potential bias due to three stages of enrollment by performing sensitivity analyses with stage effect 
adjustment293,294.Missing data will be accommodated using multiple imputation, with imputed values generated in 
accordance with the mixed effects model as implemented in the mice library in R257-259. Point estimates will be 
accompanied by 95% confidence intervals, and type-I error probability for hypothesis testing set at 0.05. Statistical 
analyses will be conducted using SAS version 9.3 or higher and R version 2.15.0.  
Specific Aim 1 is concerned with change in sexual function as measured by the Harbor-UCLA 7-day Sexual 
Function Questionnaire (SFQ) and other outcomes measured at baseline and during weeks 6 and 12. Six and 12 
week data will be analyzed simultaneously using mixed effects linear regression controlling for baseline measures as 
well as stratification factors (age and PDEI use), with site and subject treated as random effects. The primary 
analysis will be supplemented by comparisons of 12 week change in function, estimated via treatment contrast with 
statistical significance evaluated via likelihood ratio test. We will also compare the proportion of men achieving 
increase of >1 point on sexual function score (thought to approximate the minimal clinically important difference on 
the SFQ) using generalized estimating equations256 and modified Poisson regression approach257-259, which can 
accommodate repeated measurements and is preferable to odds ratio in prospective designs. If the rate of 
improvement is very low, a zero-inflated alternative will be considered210.  
 
Secondary Hypotheses. Specific Aim 2 is concerned with estimation of the effects of SARM administration on 
well-being, affectivity balance, fatigue and HRQOL. These will be obtained at randomization and at 6 and 12 
weeks. We will follow an analytic plan parallel to that described for Aim 1. Aim 3 is concerned with the effects of 
SARM on strength and physical function. As in Aims 1 and 2 we will utilize mixed effects regression. 
We will also consider further exploratory analyses of the primary endpoint. For example, we will use linear 
regression to determine whether changes in muscle strength and measures of physical function correlate with 
changes in muscle mass and whether improvements in aerobic capacity are associated with improved fatigue scores. 
Appropriate techniques will assess assumptions of linearity and homoscedasticity.

12.4 
Missing data 
 
All subjects who are randomized will be included in the analyses. We will use multiple imputation using chained 
equations (MICE) to accommodate missing data. Further, our analyses will use simple linear mixed models that use 
additional intermediate time points when available. These methods use available information more efficiently, thus 
reducing type II error. We recognize that missingness may be associated with outcome, in which case there exists 
the potential for biased estimates of treatment effect. Sensitivity analyses will be employed to assess this possibility.  
 
12.5 
Sample Size Estimates and Power Considerations 
 
Initially, we had estimated that 126 men will be needed to test the primary hypothesis based on assumptions of two 
sided type I error rate of 0.05, attrition rate of 20% and 90% power. Our primary outcome is change in sexual 
activity score derived from Harbor-UCLA Seven Day Sexual Function Questionnaire221. The primary targets of 
estimation was overall dose effect as well as the direct comparison of highest dose group (15 mg) to placebo, 
however due to stoppage of 15-mg dose group, the primary aim of this study will be comparison of 5-mg group to 
placebo. There are no randomized trial data on the effects of SARM on sexual function in men with prostate cancer. 
In several trials in hypogonadal men178, 183-184, testosterone therapy increased sexual activity score by an average of 
1.5 points. Here we assume that the difference of interest in the change in sexual activity score between the 15 mg 
dose and placebo over 3 months is 1.5 points with a standard deviation of 1.8 (1.27 within each group). We estimate 
that the difference between 1 mg and placebo is 0.3 points with SD 1.2 and, as previously assumed, between 5 mg 
and placebo is 1.2 with SD 1.8. Under these assumptions, group allocation of 36:28:36:14 (for placebo, 1mg, 5 mg 
and 15 mg groups, respectively) subjects per arm will achieve more than 95% power to reject the null hypothesis of 
no overall dose effect, and to detect the difference between the 15 mg group and placebo. As enrollment to 15-mg 
group has been stopped and insufficient number of participants were randomized to this group (N=14), there will not 
be any formal analysis testing difference between 15-mg arm to placebo. 
 
We will similarly obtain good power to detect clinically meaningful effects on other measures of sexual function. 
We hypothesize that the mean difference in change in sexual desire scores between the 15 mg and placebo groups is 
1.8 (SD 2.1). The proposed sample size has >95% power to detect this difference. Similarly, we will obtain >95% 
power to detect between group differences of 4 points in change in erectile function domain (EFD) of International 
Index of Erectile Dysfunction (IIEF) (assumed SD 6 points), a threshold deemed clinically significant222-225. The 
average increase in EFD score in trials of PDE5 inhibitors is 7153, 226-228. 
 
Assuming mean (SD) LBM changes of 0 (1) kg in placebo, 0.8 (1.2) at 1 mg, 1.5 (2.1) kg at 5 mg and 1.8 (2.1) kg at 
15 mg dose, simulation results indicate that this design achieves more than 90% power to demonstrate an overall 
dose-response relationship and to detect the advantage of 15 mg dose over placebo, where both tests are performed 
at the 0.05 level. Using the Holm-Bonferroni correction for these two non-independent hypotheses (both hypotheses 
must be rejected at the 0.05 level, and at least one at the 0.025 level, preserving the overall type-I error rate of 0.05), 
results indicate that the design achieves more than 80% power to reject both nulls simultaneously. Recent SARM 
trials have reported average gains of ~1.5 kg in lean body mass45, 48,116. In a testosterone trial in HIV-infected men, a 
difference of 2.9 kg in fat-free mass was observed between testosterone and placebo groups173. Testosterone trials in 
older men that used smaller doses of testosterone observed an increase of ~1.5 kg186.  
 
We anticipate that the change in leg press strength at 15 mg dose will be 15 kg (SD 18), at 5 mg dose 12 kg (SD 18 
kg) and at the 1 mg dose 4 kg (SD 6 kg), while placebo group is assumed to have no increase (SD 6). This 
assumption is based on testosterone trials in older men175,195, HIV-infected men173, and in men with COPD185. A 15

 kg increase in leg press strength is deemed clinically significant because a 10 kg increase in leg strength was 
associated with improvements in walking speed232. Under these assumptions, simulation results demonstrate that the 
planned randomization will provide >90% power to jointly detect an overall dose-response pattern and a significant 
difference between the5 mg and placebo groups. In a SARM trial48, the increase in stair climbing power in men 
receiving enobosarm averaged 15% (SD 20%). The proposed sample size provides >80% power to detect a similar 
difference between 5 mg and placebo arms. For physical function domain of MOS-SF36, the difference of interest 
between 5 mg and placebo group is 4 points (SD 7 points), which is a moderate effect.  
 
In randomized trials in older men with low testosterone, the difference in change in physical function domain score 
between testosterone and placebo groups was 4 points186. Ware et al233 have determined that a 4-point change in the 
physical function domain of the MOS SF36 score is clinically meaningful. A proposed sample size provides >80% 
power to detect this effect size between placebo and 5 mg dose group.   
 
Absent intervention, the clinical PSA recurrence rate in this group of men should be <1% over 10 years54-57, so that 
few, if any clinical recurrences, are expected in the placebo arm over the three-month trial duration. We likewise 
anticipate few if any recurrences among subjects randomized to SARM. To insure that analyses are sensitive to even 
limited evidence of safety concerns, we will conduct a one-sided comparison of the proportion of subjects 
experiencing events in each arm using a Fisher’s exact test with type-I error probability set at 0.20, as recommended 
by some FDA panels. Assuming recurrence risk on placebo is 1%, this comparison will have 85% power to detect 
an increased risk of 10% in the 15 mg group.  
 
To accommodate attrition of up to 20%, we will enroll 37:25:37:36 men (for placebo, 1 mg, 5 mg and 15 mg groups, 
respectively) for a total of 135 men. Assumption of 20% attrition rate is conservative; the attrition in our 
testosterone trial in older men was 12%174. Even in a 3-year intervention trial to determine the effects of testosterone 
on atherosclerosis, the loss-to-follow-up has been <20%. The incorporation of 6-week measurement in the mixed 
effects model and the inclusion of all 114 subjects made possible by use of multiple imputation will provide even 
higher power than that claimed here.

DATA MANAGEMENT 
 
The Data Management Center (DMC) will provide data management and statistical programming under the 
supervision of Dr. Travison. A randomization application will be available online. Upon completion of Eligibility 
Form, a subject ID will be generated, and the randomization table will be queried for study arm designation. 
Database will track subjects, provide documentation of eligibility and consent, and provide alerts to study staff 
about due dates. The database will reside on a secure, password protected server, and backed up on a nightly basis. 
The DMC will prepare standardized data collection forms to ensure that all data fields are unambiguous, items are 
easily read, response categories are in standardized units, and the instructions are clearly worded. Validation rules 
including built-in edits such as range and logic checks will be incorporated into the verification process. After forms 
have been verified, programming codes will check across-form internal inconsistencies. The statistical programmer 
will be responsible for cleaning the data, creating analytic data sets, standardized protocols for coding data, and a 
data dictionary of variables, and for writing the analysis code for all analyses. 
 
The target sample size is 114 participants study-wide.  In order to randomize 114 subjects, we estimate that we will 
need 450 subjects to enroll (sign consent).  The study intervention includes placebo and three doses of LY SARM ( 
1, 5 and 15 mg daily).  It is planned for the recruitment to be split among the Brigham and Womens Hospital 
(BWH), the University of Florida (UFL), and Johns Hopkins Medical Institutes (JHMI). Ultimately, it is planned to 
have 68 subjects randomized at BWH, 27 subjects randomized at UFL, and 40 subjects randomized at Johns

32 
Hopkins Medical Institute.  A target sample size of 114 participants from two trial sites will have >90% power to 
test the primary hypothesis. 
 
Randomization: After protocol amendment, last 10 subjects who meet the eligibility criteria will be randomized to 
either the placebo or 5mg SARM daily.  Due to inclusion of new treatment arm (15 mg) in the study and stopping 
enrollment into the 1 mg group, and later stopping enrollment into the 15-mg group, participants will have been 
randomized in three stages. In the first stage, then=80 subjects were randomized to one of 3 groups: placebo, 1 mg 
and 5 mg, with allocation ratio of 1:1:1; this randomization scheme was ended after the amendment was approved. 
In the second stage, (according to protocol amendment, after stopping the enrolment in 1 mg group and inclusion of 
new 15 mg LYSARM dose group) N=24 participants were randomized with allocation ratio of 1:1:3 to placebo, 5 
mg and 15 mg groups, respectively. In the third stage, after stopping the enrollment in 15-mg group, due to safety 
signal, we anticipate to randomize 10 more participants with allocation ratio 3:2 (6 in placebo and and 4 in 5-mg 
dose). At the end of the trial we expect to enroll 114 participants (80 in the first stage, 24 in the second stage and 10 
in the third stage) with group allocation of 36:28:36:14 participants, for placebo, 1 mg, 5 mg and 15 mg groups, 
respectively.. The subject assignment will be based on the randomization tables, using permuted blocks with varying 
blocks sizes. Subjects will be stratified by age (19-50 and >50) and use of phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors (PDEIs); 
PDEIs may influence sexual function (and mood and HRQOL) independently228-231. Stratification variables will be 
included as covariates in analyses. 
 
12.7 
Sample Size, Accrual Rate and Study Duration 
 
The revised planned sample size is114.  Enrollment is targeted to be completed in 3years from start of study 
initiation.  We anticipate that enrollment will average 45 subjects per year over the three years.  If enrollment is 
slower at the start, efforts will be enhanced to meet the 3 year enrollment goal.  There is a 12-week intervention 
period after the screening and baseline measures are obtained.  Section 9 of this document contains the Schedule of 
Events. Women are not eligible for this trial as this is a study of men with prostate cancer.

• Participating Institution’s IRB approval for all amendments. 
• Annual approval letters by the Participating Institution's IRB. 
 
 
3.5 
IRB Re-Approval 
 
Verification of IRB re-approval from the Participating Institutions is required in order to continue research 
activities.  There is no grace period for continuing approvals. 
 
The Coordinating Center will not register participants if a re-approval letter is not receive from the Participating 
Institution on or before the anniversary of the previous approval date.   
 
 
3.6 
Participant Confidentiality and Authorization Statement 
 
The Coordinating Center, with the approval from the DFCI IRB, will provide a consent template, with 
information regarding authorization for the disclosure of protected health information. Subject confidentiality will 
be maintained except as may be required by law. All identifying information will be kept in a secure area at all 
times. Consent form(s) will be maintained in a separate folder from original Case Report Forms at the conclusion 
of the study. Only de-identified data will be used for analyses. 
The DF/HCC Sponsor will use all efforts to limit its use of protected health information in its trials. However, 
because of the nature of these trials, certain protected health information must be collected. DF/HCC has chosen to 
use authorizations, signed by the participant in the trial, rather than limited data sets with data use agreements. 
 
3.6.1 
 DF/HCC Multi-Center Protocol Confidentiality 
 
All documents, investigative reports, or information relating to the participant are strictly confidential. Whenever 
reasonably feasible, any participant specific reports submitted to the Coordinating Center should be de-identified. 
It is recommended that the assigned DF/HCC ODQ case number be used for all participant specific documents. 
Participant initials may be included or retained for cross verification of identification.  
 
3.7 
DF/HCC Multi-Center Protocol Registration Policy 
 
3.7.1 
 Participant Registration and Randomization  
The following documents will be completed by the Participating Institution and e-mailed to the Coordinating 
Center, Maricelle Ramirez (mramirez5@partners.org) 
• Copy of required laboratory tests including: CBC, PSA, chemistry panel, TSH, total and free 
testosterone 
• Copy of the signed informed consent document (original to remain on site)

The Coordinating Center will review the submitted documents in order to verify eligibility and consent. To 
complete the registration process, the Coordinating Center will: 
• Register the participant on the study with the DF/HCC ODQ 
• Upon receiving confirmation of registration by the ODQ, the Coordinating Center will inform the 
Participating Institution and provide the study specific participant case number. The QACT will 
communicate the treatment assignment directly to the site’s research pharmacy.  
 
Treatment may not begin without confirmation from the Coordinating Center that the participant has been 
registered.  
 
• It should be noted that subjects referred through BIDMC to BWH will be registered via the BWH 
registration procedures. 
 
 
3.7.2 
 Initiation of Therapy 
 
Participants must be registered with the DF/HCC ODQ before receiving treatment.  Treatment may not be initiated 
until the Participating Institution receives confirmation of the participant’s registration from the Coordinating 
Center. The DF/HCC Sponsor and DFCI IRB must be notified of any violations to this policy. 
 
3.7.3 
 Eligibility Exceptions 
 
The DF/HCC ODQ will make no exceptions to the eligibility requirements for randomized trials.  
 
3.8 
DF/HCC Protocol Case Number 
 
At the time of registration, ODQ requires the following identifiers for all subjects: initials, date of birth, gender, 
race and ethnicity. Once eligibility has been established and the participant successfully registered, the participant 
is assigned a unique protocol case number.  Participating Institutions should submit all de-identified subsequent 
communication and documents to the Coordinating Center, using this case number to identify the subject.   
 
3.8.1 
Protocol Deviations, Exceptions and Violations 
 
The site investigators are not allowed to initiate changes in approved research without IRB review and approval, 
except when necessary to eliminate apparent immediate hazards to the participant. Any departure from the defined 
procedures set forth in the IRB approved protocol must be reported to the DF/HCC Sponsor, who in turn is 
responsible for reporting to the DFCI IRB. 
 
 
3.8.2 
 Definitions 
 
Protocol Deviation: Any departure from the defined procedures set forth in the IRB-approved protocol which is 
prospectively approved prior to its implementation. 
 
Protocol Exception:  Any protocol deviation that relates to the eligibility criteria, e.g. 
enrollment of a participant who does not meet all inclusion/exclusion criteria.

implementation.  
 
 
3.8.3 
 Reporting Procedures 
 
DF/HCC Sponsor, Shalender Bhasin, MD, is responsible for ensuring that clear documentation is available in the 
medical record and/or regulatory documents to describe all protocol exceptions, deviations and violations. The 
DF/HCC Sponsor will also be responsible for ensuring that all protocol violations/deviations are promptly reported 
per DFCI IRB guidelines.  
 
Participating Institutions: Protocol deviations require prospective approval from the DFCI IRB. The Participating 
Institution must submit the deviation request to the Coordinating Center who will then submit the deviation request 
to the DFCI IRB. Upon DFCI IRB approval the deviation is submitted to the Participating Institution IRB, per 
institutional policy. A copy of the Participating Institution’s IRB report and determination will be forwarded to the 
Coordinating Center within 10 business days after the original submission.  
 
All protocol violations must be sent to the Coordinating Center in a timely manner.  
 
Coordinating Center:  Upon receipt of the violation/deviation report from the Participating Institution, the 
Coordinating Center will submit the report to the DF/HCC Sponsor for review. Subsequently, the Participating 
Institution’s IRB violation/deviation report will be submitted to the DFCI IRB for review per DFCI IRB reporting 
guidelines. DF/HCC will forward all violation reports to CTEP via an internal DF/HCC process, as applicable. 
 
3.9 
Safety Assessments and Toxicity Monitoring 
 
The study teams at all participating institutions are responsible for protecting the safety, rights and well-being of 
study participants. Recording and reporting of adverse events that occur during the course of a study help ensure 
the continuing safety of study participants.  
 
All participants receiving investigational agents and/or other protocol mandated treatment will be evaluated for 
safety. The safety parameters include complete blood counts, blood chemistries, PSA, periodic physical 
examination findings, and spontaneous reports of adverse events reported by participants.  All toxicities 
encountered during the study will be evaluated according to the criteria specified in the protocol. Life-threatening 
toxicities must be reported immediately to the DF/HCC Sponsor via the Coordinating Center.  
 
3.9.1 
Guidelines for Reporting Serious Adverse Events  
 
Guidelines for reporting Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) are detailed in the Data and 
Safety Monitoring Plan (appended to this document). 
 
 
 
 
Participating Institutions must report the SAEs to the DF/HCC Sponsor and the Coordinating Center following the 
DFCI IRB Adverse Event Reporting Policy.  
 
The Coordinating Center will maintain documentation of all Participating Institution Adverse Event reports and be 
responsible for communicating to all participating investigators, any observations reportable under the DFCI IRB

5.1 
Ongoing Monitoring of Protocol Compliance 
 
The Coordinating Center will implement ongoing monitoring activities to ensure that Participating Institutions are 
complying with regulatory and protocol requirements, data quality, and participant safety. Monitoring will occur 
during protocol performance and through study completion. Additional monitoring practices may include but are 
not limited to; source verification, review and analysis of the following: eligibility requirements of all participants, 
informed consent procedures, adverse events and all associated documentation, study drug administration/treatment, 
regulatory files, protocol departures, pharmacy records, response assessments, and data management.  
Monitoring will occur every 6 months during the first year and then annually.  Additional monitoring may occur at 
the discretion of the DF/HCC Sponsor if incidences of non-compliance are discovered. 
Participating institutions will be required to participate in monthly Coordinating Center initiated teleconferences.  
Source documentation verification (SDV) will be conducted by having access to participants’ complete study 
records and source documents. 
 
5.2 
Monitoring Reports

Not applicable 
 
6.2 Audit Plan: DF/HCC Sponsored Trials 
 
One on-site audit will be scheduled by the ODQ, assuming at least three participants have been treated on protocol 
at the site. Approximately 3-4 participants would be audited at the site over a 2 day period.  If violations which 
impact participant safety or the integrity of the study are found, more participant records may be audited.  
 
6.3 
Audit Notification 
 
It is the Participating Institution’s responsibility to notify the Coordinating Center of all scheduled audit dates 
(internal or NCI) and re-audit dates (if applicable), which involve this protocol. All institutions will forward a copy 
of final audit and/or re-audit reports and corrective action plans (if applicable) to the Coordinating Center, within 
12 weeks after the audit date.  
 
6.4 
Audit Reports 
 
The DF/HCC Sponsor, Shalender Bhasin, MD, will review all final audit reports and corrective action plans if 
applicable. The Coordinating Center, will forward these reports to the DF/HCC ODQ per DF/HCC policy for 
review by the DF/HCC Audit Committee. Based upon the audit assessments the DF/HCC Audit Committee could 
accept or conditionally accept the audit rating and final report. Conditional approval could require the DF/HCC 
Sponsor to implement recommendations or require further follow-up.  For unacceptable audits, the DF/HCC Audit 
Committee would forward the final audit report and corrective action plan to the DFCI IRB as applicable. 
 
6.5 
Participating Institution Performance

DATA AND SAFETY MONITORING PLAN 
1RO1NR014502-01A1, PI: Bhasin, Shalender 
 
The Data and Safety Monitoring Plan (DSMP) for this trial, described below, will be reviewed and approved by 
the NINR staff prior to the commencement of any human subjects activities in this trial. The DSMP approved by 
the NINR staff will then be submitted to the local IRB for its review and approval. It is understood that the IRB 
approval of the NINR-approved DSMP is required before human subjects activities can take place within the trial, 
and that the awardee institution is responsible for approving the DSMB. 
The responsibility for compliance with the DSMP rests with the PI. The oversight of the monitoring activity 
described in the DSMP is the responsibility of the NINR staff. NINR will be notified within 7 days if the human 
subjects research or DSMP is changed prior to or during the implementation of the clinical trial. The NINR 
program staff must approve the changes prior to implementation.   
 
The essential components of the DSM Plan are the following: 
a. A Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB), an independent committee charged with reviewing safety 
and trial progress and providing advice with respect to study continuation, modification, and termination, 
will assume oversight of the study, in accordance with NINR policy, once the study is underway. The 
procedures that will be used for data and safety monitoring are outlined below. 
b. The DSMB will include five individuals, including a chair and a separate executive secretary. All five 
members will be voting members. The DSMB members will have expertise in prostate cancer, androgen 
biology, biostatistical analysis of clinical trials data, and the conduct and oversight of clinical trials in 
prostate cancer patients.  These individuals will be approved by the institutional review board for human 
subjects research (IRB) after review of their expertise and potential conflicts of interest. The composition 
of the DSMB will consist of the following:  
• Two nationally or internationally recognized experts in prostate cancer and clinical trials of men with prostate 
cancer  
• An expert with nursing background and experience in symptom management including fatigue and other 
outcomes being assessed in this trial 
• An endocrinologist with expertise in clinical trials of androgens in men 
• A biostatistician with expertise in the design and analysis of clinical trials 
 
Safety Review Procedures: 
1.) 
The DSMB will meet to review the safety data every 6 months.   This review will take place by 
teleconference.  A majority must be present at the DSMB meeting to have a quorum.  
2.) 
Generation of safety reports. The Study’s PI, with the assistance of the Data Management Center 
(DMC) will prepare and submit the safety reports for DSMB review, This will be done in a blinded 
fashion, while protecting the confidentiality of participant data.  The reports will be given to an 
independent third party who will add a code (A, B, or C) to the data for each treatment group.  The 
third party will place the finished report into an envelope, seal the envelope and sign across the seal.  

NCI Protocol #:Not Applicable 
DF/HCC Protocol #:15-120 
Protocol Version Date: 09/12/2018 
 
68 
He/she will place this envelope containing the coded safety report into Fed Ex envelopes, pre-
prepared by the research coordinators, and seal those.  The reports will be sent, by Fed Ex, to the 
various DSMB members.  This will allow the DSMB to review the safety data by individual treatment 
groups.  The third party will store, in a locked cabinet, the code for the trial.  In the event that the 
DSMB requests unblinding of the study, the code will be sent from the third party directly to the 
DSMB. Thus, the DSMB members can have access to the categorized data, while the investigating 
team remains blinded.  
3.) 
Review of all adverse events will be performed by treatment group (coded A, B, or C). 
4.) 
Each safety report will include the enrollment status, including the number of subjects recruited, 
screened, and randomized.  In addition, it will incorporate the number of dropouts and the reason for 
the dropouts.  The investigating team will comply with NIH, FDA, and institutional policies on 
reporting adverse events.  The report will list all adverse events since the previous reporting period.  
In addition, a cumulative list of all adverse events will also be provided to the DSMB members. The 
summary of all adverse events will allow for a comprehensive overview or analysis of the events 
rates.  All AE’s will be evaluated for severity and attribution.  In order to protect participant 
confidentiality, the data provided to the DSMB will be coded so that individual patients cannot be 
identified. 
5.) 
Each DSMB meeting will be comprised of 2 portions.  Research personnel will arrange and be 
present for the “open discussions” at the start of the DSMB meetings.  The initial “open” portion of 
the meeting will have study personnel available to give a brief update on the status of the trial and to 
respond to any questions that the DSMB may have.  The second portion of the meetings will be 
“closed” to study personnel so that DSMB members may have independent deliberations.  Provisions 
will be made for study personnel to be available to the DSMB committee during these deliberations, 
should their input be required. 
6.) 
In addition to these review procedures the DSMB will receive copies of all serious adverse events, 
with study group assignment (A or B), as they occur. 
Transmission of DSMB Recommendations and Summary Reports of Adverse Events to IRBs  
A summary of the DSMB review and recommendations without treatment assignment information will be sent to 
the Principal Investigator after each DSMB meeting.  The PI will then forward the DSMB report, including the 
DSMB’s assessment of adverse events within the trial, to the IRBs of the participating institutions. 
Transmission of Summary of Closed Deliberations to the NINR Staff 
The NINR Program Officer will receive a copy of the “closed” deliberations. This information will be kept in a secure 
file, accessible only to the NINR Program Staff. 
Procedures for monitoring study safety: 
1. Monitoring schedule 
a. Adverse events are solicited and recorded by study staff at each study visit. 
b. PSA is measured at screening and weeks 2, 4, 6, and 12. 
c. Other safety labs – complete blood counts and chemistries – are measured at screening, baseline and 
during weeks 6 and 12. 
2. Auditing of selected cases for compliance with IRB requirements, conformance with informed consent 
requirements, verification of source documents, and investigator compliance will be performed by Brigham 
and Women’s Hospital’s institutional compliance officer annually. 

NCI Protocol #:Not Applicable 
DF/HCC Protocol #:15-120 
Protocol Version Date: 09/12/2018 
 
69 
3. Procedures for minimizing research-associated risk.  
All subjects will be monitored by frequent physical examinations, blood counts, chemistries and PSA levels. We 
will follow hematocrit, plasma lipids, blood chemistries, PSA and record all adverse events reported by the subjects 
every 4-weeks.  
The risks of blood drawing will be minimized by having only experienced practitioners perform phlebotomy.  
 
The risk of injury from participating in exercise testing will be minimized by several safety measures.  The 
subjects will be instructed in proper technique and the risks minimized by careful supervision.  Patients will be screened 
with cardiopulmonary exercise testing with continuous monitoring of the ECG to rule out cardiac ischemia and serious 
arrhythmias.  This test will be administered and supervised according to current American Heart Association 
guidelines1.  The likelihood of musculoskeletal injury from exercise testing will be minimized by providing a warm-up 
period preceding each exercise session including low speed treadmill walking and stretching exercises.  Further, a 
certified exercise physiologist will oversee all exercise testing sessions. 
 
The risks of SARM therapy will be minimized by close monitoring with serial physical examinations, 
hematocrit, and PSA levels. We have incorporated all the procedures recommended by the Expert Panel of the 
Endocrine Society on Androgen Deficiency Syndromes, ISSAM, and the American College of Physicians/American 
Society of Internal Medicine Disease Management Module for Male Hypogonadism for monitoring of men receiving an 
androgen. Although these guidelines were developed for testosterone therapy, they are appropriate for following men 
receiving any type of androgen therapy. We have incorporated in this trial several additional measures to minimize risk: 
a. The selection of LY SARM, which not only spares the prostate but has been shown in preclinical models to act 
as an androgen antagonist on the prostate, induce prostate atrophy in a canine model, inhibit the growth of 
prostate cancer explants in mice, and lower PSA in men.  
b. The inclusion and exclusion criteria will assure selection of subjects at very low risk of disease recurrence. 
c. We have established rigorously defined criteria for biochemical recurrence and for progression from stage 1. 
d. We have established a priori stopping rules based on PSA change. 
e. We will perform frequent PSA measurements to ensure early detection of biochemical recurrence. 
f. We will designate study clinicians to monitor PSA and other laboratory tests at each site. 
g. An independent DSMB will oversee the study after its initiation   
Protecting the confidentiality of participant data 
Subject confidentiality will be maintained except as may be required by law. All identifying information will be 
kept in a secure area at all times. Consent form(s) will be maintained in a separate folder from original Case Report 
Forms at the conclusion of the study. Only de-identified data will be used for analyses. 
Procedures for identifying, reviewing, and reporting of adverse events and unanticipated problems to the IRB, 
NINR, and FDA 
The adverse events will be identified by the study staff and reviewed by a study physician on an ongoing basis. Serious 
adverse events will be reported by the study PI to the DSMB Chair, FDA and NINR staff. Unanticipated problems will 
be reported to the DSMB, IRB, FDA, and NINR staff by the study’s PI. 
Termination Criteria 
The following Termination Criteria will be used: 

NCI Protocol #:Not Applicable 
DF/HCC Protocol #:15-120 
Protocol Version Date: 09/12/2018 
 
70 
• 
An increase in PSA to 0.2 ng/mL or higher, if confirmed by a repeated test, will result in treatment 
discontinuation and referral to a urologist. 
• 
Any evidence of disease recurrence will lead to immediate treatment discontinuation.  
• 
An increase in hematocrit above 54%, if confirmed by a repeated test, would warrant discontinuation of treatment. 
• 
Transaminase elevation above 3 times the upper limit of normal, if confirmed by a repeated test, would warrant 
discontinuation of treatment. 
• 
Myocardial infarction or stroke   
We recognize that other unexpected adverse events can occur. Therefore, we have instituted a comprehensive plan for 
early detection of adverse events; the Data Safety Monitoring Board will be empowered to discontinue treatment in one 
or more subjects, or halt the study, should the occurrence of adverse events so warrant. 
Procedures ensuring compliance with the monitoring plan and reporting requirements across sites 
As this is a three-site study, a study monitor will visit each of the three sites to monitor compliance with the study 
protocol, monitoring plan, and reporting requirements. These visits will take place every 6 months in the first year and 
then annually. 
 
An assessment of external factors or relevant information that may have an impact on safety of the participants 
or on the ethics of the study.  
The study team will provide this assessment to the DSMB (6-monthly) and IRB (annual) reports.  
 
Interim or Futility Analysis 
There are no plans for an interim or futility analysis. 
 
Additional Components of the DSM Plan 
The PI will provide reporting to the NINR staff of the following. All personal identifiers will be removed from any 
documents sent to NINR staff. 
1. Unanticipated problems or unexpected serious adverse events that may be related to the study protocol 
2. IRB-approved revisions to the study protocol that indicate a change in risks to the participants 
3. A summary of recommendations made by the DSMB and if applicable, an action plan for response 
4. Notice of any actions taken by the IRB or regulatory bodies regarding the research and any responses to those 
actions

INSTRUCTIONS 
Below are listed a brief set of questions that ask about your sexual thoughts and activities. The questions 
are divided into five sections that ask about different aspects of your sexual experiences. 
Some questions request that you answer in terms of “how often” you engage in certain sexual activities. 
Other questions ask you to report “how intense” some of your sexual experiences are. A third type of question 
inquires about how much you “enjoyed” or were “satisfied” by different aspects of your sexual activities and 
relationship. 
 
For each Section, there are one or more scale definition boxes located alongside the questions. Indicators at 
the tops of the boxes tell you which questions the particular scale definition should be used with. 
 
The inventory is quite brief, so please take your time in answering all the questions. Please circle the scale 
number for each question that best describes your personal experience. If you have any questions, please ask 
the person who gave you the inventory for help or clarification.
