Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. Extension of the available information on the therapy with Leuprone HEXAL, as determined by PSA and testosterone levels: documentation of all routinely collected lab values (schedule for documentation: inclusion in the study and after approximately 3, 6 and 12 months), calculation of the time to PSA or testosterone progression. 2. Extension of the available information on the tolerability profile of Leuprone HEXAL: documentation of adverse events and adverse drug reactions, calculation of frequencies.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Description of a correlation between different anamnestic factors and the course of PSA and testosterone over time: analyses of PSA or testosterone progression, tumour progression and changes of therapy in relation to body measures (e.g. body mass index, waist and hip circumference), blood pressure and metabolic parameters (as far as available). 2. Description of the initial therapy of patients treated with Leuprone HEXAL and of treatment changes over time and in relation to guideline updates. 3. Description of the use of Leuprone HEXAL: documentation of applied dose, dosage pattern, insertion procedure. 4. Description of concomitant diseases of patients, lifestyle (physical activity, diet) and sources of information on prostate carcinoma and therapy: handing out of patient questionnaires at inclusion into the study and at the end of the study. 5. Description of the study centres: patient groups treated, therapies used for prostate carcinoma, counselling of patients, role of guidelines, sources of information used – documentation in centre questionnaires at the start of the study. 6. Use of resources of the health care system: retrospective documentation of the visits to physicians and hospitals – at inclusion of the patient into the study and at the end of the study.
