Phase III Immediate vs Delayed Endocrine Therapy with Zoladex and Cyproterone Acetate for Patients with pN1-3M0 Carcinoma of the Prostate
Alternate Title Immediate Versus Delayed Hormone Therapy With Goserelin and Cyproterone Acetate in Treating Patients With Prostate Cancer
Objectives I. Determine whether patients with pN1-3 prostatic cancer survive longer with immediate or delayed endocrine management with Zoladex and Androcur. Entry Criteria Disease Characteristics: Histologically proven prostate carcinoma with histologically or cytologically proven N1-3 disease of all T categories No metastases other than lymph node metastases, as determined by the following: Acid phosphatase levels less than 2 x normal No metastases on bone scan, chest x-ray, or ultrasound or CT of the liver No N4 disease on palpation of groin and supraclavicular areas, CT, and lymphangiography Prior/Concurrent Therapy: Biologic therapy: No prior therapy for prostate cancer Chemotherapy: No prior therapy for prostate cancer Endocrine therapy: No prior therapy for prostate cancer No prior potentially effective hormonal treatment for other indications Radiotherapy: No prior therapy for prostate cancer Surgery: No prior therapy for prostate cancer other than lymph node dissection and/or lymph node biopsy Prior TUR of the prostate for obstruction allowed Patient Characteristics: Age: Any age Performance status: 0-2 Life expectancy: More than 1 year Hematopoietic: Not specified Hepatic: Not specified Renal: Not specified Other: No other malignancy except for adequately treated nonmelanomatous skin cancer Expected Enrollment A total of 320 patients (160 patients in each arm) will be entered over about 5 years. As of 09/90, 97 patients had been entered. Outline Randomized study. Arm I: Endocrine Therapy: LHRH Analogue Therapy plus Short-term Antiandrogen Therapy. Goserelin, Zoladex, ZDX, NSC-606864; plus Cyproterone acetate, CPTR, NSC-81430. Arm II: Observation followed by Endocrine Therapy. Observation until progression; then treatment as in Arm I.Published Results Schröder FH, Kurth KH, Fossa SD, et al.: Early versus delayed endocrine treatment of pN1-3 M0 prostate cancer without local treatment of the primary tumor: results of European Organisation for the Research and Treatment of Cancer protocol 30846 after 13 years of follow-up - A phase III study.

Note: The purpose of most clinical trials listed in this database is to test new cancer treatments, or new methods of diagnosing, screening, or preventing cancer. Because all potentially harmful side effects are not known before a trial is conducted, dose and schedule modifications may be required for participants if they develop side effects from the treatment or test. The therapy or test described in this clinical trial is intended for use by clinical oncologists in carefully structured settings, and may not prove to be more effective than standard treatment. A responsible investigator associated with this clinical trial should be consulted before using this protocol. |
