GAIN PC CONTROL is a study investigating Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists in men with prostate cancer who are being treated with androgen deprivation therapy.
GAIN PC CONTROL is an open-label single-arm phase IV trial that will evaluate 1) the safety and tolerability of Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists (GLP-1 RAs) in men with prostate cancer (PC) treated with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT); 2) the effects of GLP-1 RAs on weight, waist circumference, blood pressure, HbA1c, lipids, PSA and Creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate in men with PC treated with ADT. Patients who meet eligibility criteria and who provide informed consent will be enrolled to receive semaglutide. Following enrollment, all participants will undergo a baseline visit, a 1-month telephone follow-up visit, 3-month visit, 6-month and a 12-month (Close-out) visit. The semaglutide dose will be 0.25mg subcutaneously once weekly for weeks 1-4, then 0.5mg once weekly for weeks 5-8, then 1mg once weekly for weeks 9-12, then 1.7mg once weekly for weeks 13-16, and then 2.4mg for the remainder of the trial. Semaglutide dose may be decreased in the case of adverse events to the highest tolerated dose.
