Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • Documented disease progression while on placebo in the GUP-0205-1 or GUP-0205-1XX study (a ≥100% increase over baseline serum PSA with a minimum increase of 1.0 ng/mL.
  • Willingness and ability to sign an informed consent document.
  • Agreement with complete abstinence from other commercially available pomegranate products during the course of the study.
  • Use of dietary/herbal supplements (e.g., saw palmetto, selenium, etc) are acceptable provided the dose has been stable for at least 2 months prior to screening and the subject agrees not to change/stop during the course of the study.
  • Performance status 0 or 1 on the ECOG scale at time of entry into this extension Study.

Exclusion

  • Significant concomitant medical or psychiatric condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would make the subject a poor protocol candidate.
  • Hormonal therapy, with the exception of neoadjuvant androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) prior to or concurrent with primary therapy. Subjects who underwent neoadjuvant ADT cannot have a serum testosterone of ≤150 ng/mL at study entry.
  • Concomitant or antecedent hormonal therapy for rising serum PSA after initial therapy of prostate cancer.
  • Subjects unable or unwilling to comply with protocol requirements.
  • Prior treatment with experimental drugs, high dose steroids, or with any other cancer treatment within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study product and for the duration of the study.
  • Serum PSA \>7.0 ng/mL (assessed at termination of the double-blind study or ET of the double-blind extension GUP-0205-1XX); at any PSA level, the subject will be excluded if determined by the investigator that the subject's continued participation would not be in their best interest).
  • Serum PSA doubling time \<13 weeks (assessed at termination of the double-blind study or ET of the double-blind extension GUP-0205-1XX)).
  • Evidence of metastatic disease on physical examination or on CT or bone scan.
  • Use of finasteride, dutasteride at any point since primary therapy or during the study.
  • Clinically significant abnormal laboratory value greater than 2 times the upper limit of normal (\>2XULN).
