Title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Parallel-Group Trial Comparing Casodex 150mg Once Daily With Placebo in Patients With Non-Metastatic Prostate Cancer.
Brief Summary: The purpose of this trial is to study the effect of adjuvant or immediate hormonal therapy, versus placebo, in subjects who have either undergone a primary therapy (principally radical prostatectomy or radiotherapy) or who were otherwise to be managed by watchful waiting.
