Summary:

      This randomized phase II trial compares enzalutamide with standard androgen deprivation
      therapy in reducing incidence of metabolic syndrome in patients with prostate cancer that has
      spread to other places in the body. Metabolic syndrome is defined as changes in cholesterol,
      blood pressure, circulating sugar levels, and body weight. Previous studies have shown that
      patients with prostate cancer, who have been treated with standard medical therapy that
      lowers testosterone levels, have an increased risk of these changes. Hormone therapy using
      enzalutamide may fight prostate cancer by blocking the use of testosterone by the tumor cells
      instead of lowering testosterone levels. It is not yet known whether prostate cancer patients
      who receive enzalutamide will have reduced incidence of metabolic syndrome than patients who
      receive standard androgen deprivation therapy.
    

Eligibility criteria:

        Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Histologically or cytologically proven adenocarcinoma of the prostate; if pathology is
             unavailable, the principal investigator (PI) may also make a determination of prostate
             cancer based on unequivocal clinic data

          -  Patients with advanced prostate cancer suitable for systemic treatment defined as:
             having metastatic disease, a biochemical relapse after primary therapy, or patients in
             whom primary therapy is not appropriate or feasible; patients without metastatic
             disease will need evaluation for local therapy and deemed inappropriate or have
             refused this treatment option

          -  A male patient and his female partner who is of childbearing potential must use 2
             acceptable methods of birth control (one of which must include a condom as a barrier
             method of contraception) starting at screening and continuing throughout the study
             period and for 3 months after final study drug administration
