About this study

Official title: A Prospective Observational Safety Study in Patients With Advanced Prostate Cancer Treated With FIRMAGON (Degarelix) or a GnRH Agonist

This study is a large observational study, set-up to observe how long-term treatment with FIRMAGON (hormone regulator) compare to other treatments in regards to cardiovascular events, changes in bone density, changes in blood sugar levels or liver enzyme levels in subjects with prostate cancer. Subjects will be treated according to their routine clinical care and not dictated by the study. As the study is observational in nature, the study will collect data relating to the events specified above. Subjects that agree to this study will be followed-up for 5 years. Subject data will be collected every 3 months for the first 2 years and every 6 months for the last 3 years.

What is being measured

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

  1. Incidence Rate of Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESI): Cardiovascular Events

    The incidence rate (IR) expressed as number of events per 100 patient-years of exposure (PYE).

    Measured: From baseline upto 5 years (every 3 months from the first 2 years of the study; every 6 months for the last 3 years of the study)

  2. Incidence Rate of AESI: Decreased Bone Density

    IR of osteoporosis or osteopenia and bone fracture events are presented. The IR is expressed as number of events per 100 PYE.

    Measured: From baseline upto 5 years (every 3 months from the first 2 years of the study; every 6 months for the last 3 years of the study)

  3. Incidence Rate of AESI: Glucose Intolerance or Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM)

    IR of new onset or exacerbation of glucose intolerance or T2DM were presented. The IR expressed as number of events per 100 PYE.

    Glucose intolerance events were defined as events of levels of fasting glucose of 6.1 to 6.9 mmol/L

    Measured: From baseline upto 5 years (every 3 months from the first 2 years of the study; every 6 months for the last 3 years of the study)

  4. Change in Hepatic Enzymes

    Change from baseline in hepatic enzyme levels (alanine aminotransferase [ALT], aspartate aminotransferase [AST], and alkaline phosphatase [ALP]) are presented.

    Measured: From baseline upto 5 years (every 3 months from the first 2 years of the study; every 6 months for the last 3 years of the study)

  5. Change in Hepatic Enzymes

    Change from baseline in hepatic enzyme level (bilirubin) is presented.

    Measured: From baseline upto 5 years (every 3 months from the first 2 years of the study; every 6 months for the last 3 years of the study)

  6. Change in Serum Glucose

    Change from baseline in serum glucose are presented.

    Measured: From baseline upto 5 years (every 3 months from the first 2 years of the study; every 6 months for the last 3 years of the study)

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Number and Classification of New Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs)

    An ADR was defined as an AE assessed by investigator as possibly/probably related to the investigational product. Any new potentially unrecognized ADRs were presented.

    Measured: From baseline upto 5 years (every 3 months from the first 2 years of the study; every 6 months for the last 3 years of the study)

  2. Long Term Evaluation of Clinical Evolution of Prostate Cancer

    Change in prostate specific antigen (PSA) is presented.

    Measured: From baseline upto 5 years (every 3 months from the first 2 years of the study; every 6 months for the last 3 years of the study)

  3. Changes in Testosterone Levels

    Change from baseline in testosterone levels are presented.

    Measured: From baseline upto 5 years (every 3 months from the first 2 years of the study; every 6 months for the last 3 years of the study)

  4. All-cause of Mortality

    A summary of IRs of all-cause mortality is presented.

    Measured: From baseline upto 5 years (every 3 months from the first 2 years of the study; every 6 months for the last 3 years of the study)

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence Rate of Adverse Events of Special Interest (AESI): Cardiovascular Events (time frame: From baseline upto 5 years (every 3 months from the first 2 years of the study; every 6 months for the last 3 years of the study)). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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.
