Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Patients between 18 and 75 years old; diagnosis of prostate adenocarcinoma without neuroendocrine differentiation or unconventional subtypes; resistant to surgical or medical castration; not metastatic; PSA doubling time < 10 months
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Patients with PS > 2; Presence of moderate to severe organic dysfunctions related, among others, to liver, kidney or heart function; Uncontrolled primary prostatic disease; Presence of previous or current diagnosis of another neoplasm except non-melanoma skin cancer; Positive pelvic node disease, considered as any pelvic lymph node larger than 2.0 cm in the shortest axis
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To determine the Prostate Specific Antigen 50 Response Rate (PSA50 > 50% Reduction on inicial PSA value) after administration of 3 supraphysiological doses of Testosterone plus androgen deprivation therapy in patients with non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and prostate specific antigen doubling time < 10 months. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| We expect that half of the population will have presented metastases up to 18 months in the absence of intervention in this population, according to data from 3 randomized studies. We aimed to evaluate, through conventional imaging exams (Chest X-ray or Chest CT, CT or MRI of the abdomen and pelvis and bone scintigraphy) the percentage of patients without metastases in 18 months, reporting metastasis-free survival in 18 months in the study.; We expect to find a partial drop in prostate-specific antigen in a portion of the population that does not obtain prostate-specific antigen 50, verified by the decrease in serum prostate-specific antigen between 10 and 49% compared to its initial value before the intervention (three administrations of testosterone) | — |
