Study Summary

This study will evaluate whether simvastatin reduces intraprostatic immunosuppressive microenvironment through YAP-mediated T-reg dysfunction, and increases intraprostatic anti-tumor immune response in men recently diagnosed with localized prostate cancer electing to receive prostatectomy for their care. Half the men will be randomized to receive statins for 8 weeks prior to their surgery, while the other half will receive standard of care.

Primary Outcome

Number of men diagnosed with localized prostate cancer randomized to receive a statin prior to prostatectomy that have greater intra-prostatic YAP-mediated T-reg dysfunction compared to men randomized to the control group. Intra-prostatic T-reg dysfunction will be determined by the proportion of Foxp3+ T-regs with phosphorylated YAP sequestered in the cytoplasm detected by multiplex immunofluorescence and digital quantitative image analysis.
