Asymptomatic patients with metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) without pain due to prostate cancer will be treated on an open label study to evaluate effectiveness of sequential treatment with the combination of difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) and high dose testosterone in sequence with enzalutamide to improve primary and secondary outcomes.
Eligible patients are those with mCRPC who have progressive disease after treatment with Abiraterone (Abi) used as treatment for castration-sensitive or castration-resistant disease. Patients will continue on androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) with luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist (i.e. Zoladex, Trelstar, Eligard, or Lupron) or LHRH antagonist (Degarelix or Relugolix) if not surgically castrated throughout the duration of the study to inhibit endogenous testosterone production. One cycle of treatment will be 119 days and will involve: 1. 7 days of DFMO at a dose of 1000 mg PO BID (D1-D7), followed by 2. 56 days of combined testosterone and DFMO (testosterone cypionate 400 mg IM on D8 and D36 with continued DFMO 1000 mg PO BID) (D8-D63), followed by 3. 56 days of enzalutamide (enzalutamide 160 mg PO daily) (D64-D119) Patients will receive repeat cycles of treatment until clinical or radiographic progression or toxicity requiring drug cessation.

Each 119 day cycle, Days 1-7 patient will take 1000 mg by mouth (PO) twice a day (bid), and then on Day 8 - 63 patient will take 1000 mg PO bid while receiving high dose testosterone IM on Day 8 and Day 36 of cycle.
On Day 8 and Day 36 of each 119 day cycle, patient will receive high dose testosterone at 400 mg through intramuscular (IM) injection.
Patients who have progressive disease after treatment with Abiraterone (Abi) will continue with androgen depravation therapy (ADT) with LHRH analogue (LHRH agonist drug (i.e. Zoladex, Trelstar, Eligard or Lupron) or LHRH antagonist drug (Degarelix or Relugolix)). Dosing instructions will vary between the different LHRH analogues. Patients should follow the dosing instructions as directed by their physician.

Pain Score
The modified Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) short form (SF) (v1.0 short forms 3a and 6b) pain scale is a validated self-reported instrument assessing average pain intensity and interference over the past 7-day period. Possible scores for each pain intensity questions range from 1 (no pain) to 5 (very severe) with higher scores reflecting higher pain intensity. Possible scores for each pain interference range from 1 (not at all) to 5 (very much) with higher scores reflecting higher pain interference.

Each 119 day cycle, Days 64-119 patient will take 160 mg by mouth (PO) once a day (qd).
Time frame: Up to 12 months
Pain Score Change
Number of participants with changes in pain scores between baseline and post-treatment. Positive change scores are indicative of improvement in pain.
