Resumen

Descripción detallada

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.

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.
