4. Congestive heart failure New York Heart Association (NYHA) class 3 or 4, or patients with history of congestive heart failure NYHA class 3 or 4 in the past, unless a screening echocardiogram or multi-gated acquisition scan performed within 3 months results in a left ventricular ejection fraction that is ≥ 45%,

7. History or current evidence/risk of retinal vein occlusion (RVO) or central serous retinopathy (CSR):
* History of RVO or CSR, or predisposing factors to RVO or CSR (e.g. uncontrolled glaucoma or ocular hypertension, uncontrolled systemic disease such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, or history of hyperviscosity or hypercoagulability syndromes).
* Visible retinal pathology as assessed by ophthalmic exam that is considered a risk factor for RVO or CSR such as:

8. Evidence of a coagulopathy,
9. Patient receiving therapeutic anticoagulation.
10. Unwillingness to engage in adequate contraception,
11. Allergy/sensitivity to any study drug (degarelix, enzalutamide, trametinib, dasatinib), or drugs chemically related to study drug, or excipients or to dimethylsulfoxide.
12. Prior use of degarelix, enzalutamide, trametinib, or dasatinib in any context,
13. Known or suspected brain metastasis or active leptomeningeal disease or spinal cord compression.
