  • Ages 18 years and older
  • Women only
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Male subjects aged 18 years or older with histologically-confirmed prostate cancer, showing biochemical failure (defined as a rising PSA) following definitive therapy (surgery or radiation) and indicated to receive hormone therapy.

Who may be able to join

  • 18 years or older
  • Received therapy of curative intent (surgery or radiotherapy)
  • Have a rising PSA which has doubled from a nadir value.
  • Histologically proven prostate cancer requiring androgen deprivation therapy for at least 12 months
  • Written informed consent to participate in the trial.

Who cannot join

  • Known hypersensitivity to Zoladex, Casodex, ar any component of these products
  • Prior treatment with LHRH agonist or anti-androgens in the past 12 months
  • Any concomitant condition that would make it undesirable, in the physician's opinion, for the subject to participate in the trial or would jeopardize compliance with the protocol.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

Study groups in NCT00703768
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
APatients who have been identified as having a doubling in PSA from nadir of greater than one year
BPatients who have been identified as having a doubling in PSA from nadir of less than one year.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Significant difference in FACT-P scores after 12 months between the 2 groups

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. PSA response

    Measured: 12 months

  2. To evaluate the ease of use of FACT-P to measure Quality of Life

    Measured: 12 months

  3. QOL, side effect profile and evaluate the safety and tolerability of Androgen Deprivation Therapy

    Measured: 12 months

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Lorne Aaron (450-671-2945, ussr@bellnet.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Significant difference in FACT-P scores after 12 months between the 2 groups (time frame: 12 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
