Trial Information

Randomized Crossover Trial to Assess the Tolerability of GnRH Analogue Administration in Patients With Advanced Prostate Cancer


GnRH is given as an injection. Injections of GnRH can be uncomfortable, causing a feeling
of burning or stinging. The uncomfortable feeling may be caused by differences in the types
of GnRH and the site of the injection (under the skin of the abdomen, or into the muscle of
the buttock or thigh).


Inclusion Criteria:



- Male patients with a diagnosis of advanced prostate cancer for whom treatment with
triptorelin pamoate or leuprolide acetate is indicated;

- At least 18 years of age;

- Life expectancy of at least 1 year;

- Capable of completing the study questionnaires without assistance.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients for whom treatment with triptorelin pamoate or leuprolide acetate is
contraindicated;

- Known hypersensitivity to triptorelin, leuprolide or any other GnRH or luteinizing
hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists, or GnRH or LHRH;

- Clinically significant systemic disease or condition that would, in the
investigator's opinion, lead to undue risk following administration of either
triptorelin or leuprolide;

- History of alcohol/drug abuse within the past year;

- History of significant medical problems that may confound the outcome of this study;

- Requires concomitant medications that may affect study assessments (e.g., topical
medications used for pretreatment of injection site pain);

- Participated in another investigational drug study within 30 days

- Judged by the investigator to be unsuitable for enrollment in this study for any
reason
