This is an open label, single site, single arm Phase II study to evaluate the combination of bicalutamide plus finasteride in men with MRI detectable significant prostate nodules followed on active surveillance.
This research is being done to determine the negative re-biopsy rate as determined by MRI/TRUS fusion guided biopsy targeting the dominant nodule site defined by pre-treatment MRI following three months (90 days) of combination bicalutamide plus finasteride.

Negative re-biopsy rate
To determine the negative re-biopsy rate as determined by MRI/TRUS fusion guided biopsy targeting the dominant nodule site defined by pre-treatment MRI following three months (90 days) of combination bicalutamide plus finasteride.
Time frame: three months (90 days)
Rate of exit at 2 years from the active surveillance program at Johns Hopkins due to pathologic upstaging following treatment with bicalutamide plus finasteride.
Time frame: 2 years
PSA progression rates and PSA progression free survival (PFS), as defined by the Prostate Cancer Working Group 2 (PCWG2) criteria, at 2 years [Scher et al, 2008].
Time frame: 2 years
Rate of radiographic disappearance of MRI detectable prostate cancer following treatment with combination bicalutamide plus finasteride (i.e., decrease in size of the target prostate cancer nodule below 5 mm).
Time frame: 2 years
Adverse events as assessed by the revised National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (NCI CTC), version 4.0 published 14 June 2010.
Time frame: 2 years
Quality of life utilizing the FACT-P and SF36 surveys
Time frame: 2 years
