Observational Program to Assess Use of Intermittent Adjuvant Deprivation Therapy With Leuprorelin (Lucrin Depot) in Patients With Advanced Prostate Cancer (PCa) in Russia

Prostate Cancer Clinical Trial

Official title: Prospective, Multi-Center, Observational Program to Assess Routine Use of Intermittent Adjuvant Deprivation Therapy With Lucrin Depot in Patients With Advanced Prostate Cancer in the Russian Federation

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The objective of this study was to describe treatment patterns of leuprorelin over 2 years using an intermittent, adjuvant regimen in participants with advanced prostate cancer (PCa)

Clinical Trial Description

Participants started hormone treatment with Leuprorelin 3.75 mg once every 28 days, subcutaneously (SC) or intramuscularly (IM). Duration of induction therapy was at least 6 months (6-9 months) during which PSA and testosterone levels were measured every 3 months. When PSA decreased by greater than 90% from baseline (PSA less than 10 ng/ml) or became lower than 4.0 ng/ml (for 2 consecutive measurements made at least 2 weeks apart) the participants were included into intermittent hormone therapy regimen group (IAD). Participants with PSA decrease not achieved greater than 90% or less than or equal to 4.0 ng/ml were given either continuous hormone therapy (CAD) or chemotherapy.

Therapy was stopped if participants had PSA decrease greater than 90% from baseline or values less than 4.0 ng/ml after 6-9 months of continuous hormone therapy. PSA and testosterone were measured every 4 weeks. If PSA became greater than or equal to 10.0 ng/ml, hormone therapy was resumed until PSA was less than 4.0 ng/ml for 2 consecutive measurements made at least 2 weeks apart. Duration of hormonal therapy cycle was at least 3 months. Then intermittent treatment was performed according to a similar scheme. PSA and testosterone levels were determined every 12 weeks when hormone therapy was administered and every 4 weeks after it was stopped. The treatment was carried out for 2 years or until Hormone Refractory Prostate Cancer (HRPC) developed. ;
