Prostate Cancer
Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this trial was to see how well a new trial drug (degarelix) worked on lower urinary tract symptoms (also known as LUTS) in prostate cancer patients as compared to how a standard drug hormonal treatment worked on the same symptoms. The advancement/worsening of prostate cancer may be associated with LUTS and the symptoms may impact the ability to urinate normally and thereby the quality of life for these patients. Patients were randomly selected (like flipping a coin) to receive either degarelix or standard hormone therapy (combination of goserelin and bicalutamide) for a 3 month treatment period. During this period the relief of urinary symptoms was evaluated via a questionnaire filled in by patients and addressing the severity and frequency of their symptoms.
Interventions
The degarelix doses were administered into the abdominal wall every 28 days. A starting dose of 240 mg (40 mg/mL) degarelix was administered on Day 0 as two 3 mL subcutaneous (s.c.) injections. The second and third doses of 80 mg (20 mg/mL) degarelix were administered as single 4 mL s.c. injections on Days 28 and 56, respectively.
Goserelin implants (3.6 mg) were inserted s.c. into the abdominal wall every 28 days. The second and third doses of goserelin were administered on Days 31 and 59, respectively.
On Day 0, three days before the first dose of goserelin on Day 3, patients began once-daily per-oral (p.o.) treatment with bicalutamide (50 mg) as anti-androgen flare protection; this treatment continued for 14 days after the first dose of goserelin.

The possible answers to this question ranged from 'delighted' (a score of '0') to 'terrible' (a score of '6').

Recruitment details
The participants were recruited by outpatient urologists. 280 participants were to be randomised in a 3:1 ratio to one of two treatment groups (210 patients were to be treated with degarelix; 70 patients were to be treated with goserelin plus bicalutamide). The trial was stopped early due to poor recruitment.
