The purpose of this study is to determine if toremifene citrate is effective and safe in the prevention of prostate cancer in men who have been diagnosed with high grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN).
The purpose of this study is to determine if toremifene citrate is effective and safe in the prevention of prostate cancer in men who have been diagnosed with high grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia. Men who have ever been diagnosed with high grade PIN will be enrolled into an 36 month trial and will be assigned to either 20 mg of study drug or placebo per day. Subjects will undergo safety evaluations at Month 3, Month 6, Month 12, Month 18, Month 24, Month 30 and Month 36 along with prostate biopsies at Month 12 and Month 24 and Month 36 to determine efficacy.

Efficacy of Toremifene in the Prevention of Prostate Cancer in Men With High Grade Prostatic Intraepithelial Neoplasia (PIN)
To measure the efficacy of toremifene citrate in men with high grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN). Prostate cancer-free survival distributions (Kaplan-Meier)
Time frame: The outcome measurement time is up to 36 months
Occurrence of a Positive Cancer Biopsy
To measure the occurrence of a positive cancer biopsy
Time frame: Up to 36 months
The Effect of Toremifene on Lipid Levels
Measure lipid levels including total cholesterol, LDL, HDL and Triglycerides % change from baseline
Time frame: Up to 36 months
The Effect of Toremifene on Hormone Levels
% Change from baseline hormone levels, including total testosterone, free testosterone, dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and estradiol

The Effect of Toremifene on the Mean Change at 36 Months in AUA (American Urological Association) Symptom Score
To assess the effect of toremifene on the AUA (American Urological Association) symptom score mean change from baseline. Scores of 0-7=mild severity, 8-9, moderate, and 20-30, severe with possible responses of 0 (not at all) 1 (\<1/5), 2 (\<50% time), 3 (about 50% time), 4 (\> 50% time) \& 5 (Almost Always). There are 7 questions (1)Incomplete emptying (2)Frequency (3)Intermittency (4)Urgency (5)Weak-stream (6)Straining \& (7)Nocturia. Analysis is change from baseline at final evaluation (36 months) for quality of life due to urinary symptoms. The P Value is from a Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Scores can range from 0-35, highest representing worse symptoms
