| Main Objective: The main objective is to initiate a secondary hormone ablation with somatostatin analogues for patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer following radical prostatectomy without computer tomographic or skeletal scintigraphic confirmed manifest metastatic lesions. Primary criteria: • PSA Response Assessment of the PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) -based response (PSA-R) of patients with homone-refractory prostate cancer without evidence of manifest metastatic lesions receiving intramuscular somatostatin-analogue treatment. • CgA Response Assessment of the CgA (Chromogranin A) -based response (CgA) of patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer without evidence of manifest metastatic lesions receiving intramuscular somatostatin-analogue treatment. ;Secondary Objective: -Biological effects -chromogranin A (CgA) in serum -Insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) in serum -Overall survival -Assessment of safety and feasibility of a somatostatin-analogue therapy in patients with prostate cancer. Experimental study aims - Correlation of therapeutic response of a reduction of PSA or CgA with expression of PSA, CgA, AR and NeuroD1 in primary tissue. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility and safety together with the optimisation of efficacy of the described therapy in patients with biochemical relapse following radical prostatectomy. ;Primary end point(s): • PSA Response Assessment of the PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) -based response (PSA-R) of patients with homone-refractory prostate cancer without evidence of manifest metastatic lesions receiving intramuscular somatostatin-analogue treatment. • CgA Response Assessment of the CgA (Chromogranin A) -based response (CgA) of patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer without evidence of manifest metastatic lesions receiving intramuscular somatostatin-analogue treatment. | — |
