- Inclusion criteria:
- Must be male ≥48 and ≤82 years of age
- Have biopsy proven, low-risk, localized prostate cancer and active in expectant management not more than 14 months. [For the purposes of assessing subject eligibility a diagnostic biopsy must have included at least 10 cores, (< 4 cores positive and <50% of any one core positive) and must have been obtained within 8 months of screening]. If a saturation biopsy was performed (20 or more cores obtained) 2-3 cores are to be positive for prostate cancer and with <50% of any one core positive. Initial diagnosis of T1a/T1b obtained during a Transrectal ultrasound (TURP) is not allowed.
- Gleason score ≤6 [Gleason pattern 4 or above must not be present on any biopsy (initial or entry)]

- Oral glucocorticoids
- Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analogues (e.g., leuprolide, goserelin)
- Glucocorticoids, except inhaled or topical, are not permitted within 3 months prior to visit one

- Any other investigational 5α-reductase inhibitors within the past 12 months.
- Anabolic steroids (subject must discontinued for 6 months prior to study entry to be eligible)
- Drugs with antiandrogenic properties within the past 6 months (e.g,. spironolactone, flutamide, bicalutamide, *cimetidine, *ketoconazole, metronidazole, progestational agents) NOTE: Use of dietary and herbal supplements (e.g., selenium, Vitamin E, saw palmetto) during the study is discouraged but not prohibited. All dietary and herbal supplement usage will be recorded in the case report form (CRF). *The use of cimetidine is permitted prior to study entry. The use of topical ketoconazole is permitted prior to and during the study.
