Trial summary

The research focuses on the safety profile of androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT). The hypothesis is that safety issue, as regards to cardiovascular risk, is not homogenous across the spectrum of androgen-deprivation therapy modalities. Our study will encompass all ADT modalities including intermittent ADT. Read more about this study

  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Using the French Health Reimbursement Agency database and French hospital discharge database, the investigators will identify all men with prostate cancer who had either, at least one dispensation in a 1.5-year period of an androgen-deprivation therapy or a hospitalization for orchiectomy. The French Health Insurance System covers the entire French population (65.3 million inhabitants in 2012).

Who may be able to join

  • Adults men, age greater 18 years,
  • Affiliation to French Health System,
  • Diagnosis of prostate cancer
  • At least one dispensation (leading to a reimbursement claim) in a 1.5 year period of an androgen-deprivation therapy or a hospitalization for orchiectomy.

Who cannot join

  • Orchiectomy for another reason that prostate cancer.
  • Patients treated with both Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone agonists and bilateral orchiectomy will be excluded from analyses.

About this study

The research focuses on the safety profile of androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT). The hypothesis is that safety issue, as regards to cardiovascular risk, is not homogenous across the spectrum of androgen-deprivation therapy modalities. Our study will encompass all ADT modalities including intermittent ADT.

ADT is a cornerstone therapy in prostate cancer management. Decisions about ADT should weigh improvements in cancer-specific outcomes against potential increased risks for cardiovascular diseases. The potential for harm from ADT should be more precisely defined according to the type of ADT. Those potential risks underscore the importance of better understanding benefits of ADT, especially in contexts where data are still lacking.ADT is also indicated in sexually deviant behavior.

Read the detailed description

Our study is a nationwide population-based prospective cohort on 4 years thanks to the French Health Reimbursement Agency database (Système National d'Information Inter-Régimes de l'Assurance Maladie, SNIIRAM) and French hospital discharge database (Programme de Médicalisation des Systèmes d'Information; PMSI). A unique civil registration number has been assigned to all French residents and this number unambiguously links those two databases.

    An extraction from French Health Reimbursement Agency database and French hospital discharge database will be performed using a simplified request based on inclusion criteria but the extraction will encompass a 4-year period to ensure sufficient follow-up.

Men with prostate cancer with androgen-deprivation therapyUsing the French Health Reimbursement Agency database and French hospital discharge database, the investigators will identify all men with prostate cancer who had either, at least one dispensation in a 1.5-year period (1st July 2010 to 31st December 2011) of an androgen-deprivation therapy or a hospitalization for orchiectomy.

What is being measured

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

  1. Association between androgen-deprivation therapy and vascular stroke

    To investigate the association between different modalities of androgen-deprivation therapy (continuous or intermittent use of Gonadotropin Releasing Hormone (GnRH) agonists, GnRH antagonists, oral antiandrogens, or orchiectomy) and myocardial infarction or ischemic stroke in French men with prostate cancer.

    Measured: 2 years after the beginning of androgen-deprivation therapy

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prostate Cancer and Androgen-deprivation Therapy, run by Rennes University Hospital at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Aug 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Association between androgen-deprivation therapy and vascular stroke (time frame: 2 years after the beginning of androgen-deprivation therapy). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02895230, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Aug 2023.
