Observational Program to Assess Use of Intermittent Adjuvant Deprivation Therapy With Leuprorelin (Lucrin Depot) in Patients With Advanced Prostate Cancer (PCa) in Russia

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The objective of this study was to describe treatment patterns of leuprorelin over 2 years using an intermittent, adjuvant regimen in participants with advanced prostate cancer (PCa)

Detailed Description
-----------------
Participants started hormone treatment with Leuprorelin 3.75 mg once every 28 days, subcutaneously (SC) or intramuscularly (IM). Duration of induction therapy was at least 6 months (6-9 months) during which PSA and testosterone levels were measured every 3 months. When PSA decreased by greater than 90% from baseline (PSA less than 10 ng/ml) or became lower than 4.0 ng/ml (for 2 consecutive measurements made at least 2 weeks apart) the participants were included into intermittent hormone therapy regimen group (IAD). Participants with PSA decrease not achieved greater than 90% or less than or equal to 4.0 ng/ml were given either continuous hormone therapy (CAD) or chemotherapy. Therapy was stopped if participants had PSA decrease greater than 90% from baseline or values less than 4.0 ng/ml after 6-9 months of continuous hormone therapy. PSA and testosterone were measured every 4 weeks. If PSA became greater than or equal to 10.0 ng/ml, hormone therapy was resumed until PSA was less than 4.0 ng/ml for 2 consecutive measurements made at least 2 weeks apart. Duration of hormonal therapy cycle was at least 3 months. Then intermittent treatment was performed according to a similar scheme. PSA and testosterone levels were determined every 12 weeks when hormone therapy was administered and every 4 weeks after it was stopped. The treatment was carried out for 2 years or until Hormone Refractory Prostate Cancer (HRPC) developed.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Mean Duration of Leuprorelin Exposure | Total duration of leuprorelin Intermittent Androgen Deprivation (IAD) regimen was calculated as (Last dose date of Leuprorelin minus first dose date plus 1)/30.4. If the stop date of leuprorelin administration was missing then the date of last attended visit was used. Total duration may include gaps between the cycles. The data are reported as mean months +/- standard deviation. | 24 months | 
| Mean Duration of Each Leuprorelin Cycle | Duration of each cycle of leuprorelin IAD regimen was calculated as (Date of last dose of cycle of leuprorelin minus start date of cycle plus 1)/30.4. The data are reported as mean months +/- standard deviation. | 24 months | 
| Median Number of Leuprorelin Cycles | The Participants were on IAD regimen and the data are reported as number of cycles with full range. | 24 months | 
| Percentage of Participants Who Discontinued From Leuprorelin Administration of IAD Regimen | The data are reported as percentage of participants. | 24 months | 
| Number of Participants Who Switched to IAD Regimen by Visit | The data are reported as number of participants. | 24 months | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Number of Participants Who Progressed to Hormone Refractory Prostate Cancer (HRPC) | Progression to HRPC was defined as castrate serum testosterone less than 50 ng/dL or 1.7 nmol/L plus either; biochemical progression (three consecutive rises in prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels one week apart resulting in two 50 % increases over the nadir, with PSA greater than 2 ng/ml) or radiological progression (the appearance of two or more new bone lesions on bone scan or enlargement of a soft tissue lesion using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). Data are reported as number of participants with HRPC. | Baseline (enrollment), after 1 year, after 2 years, and 30 days from 2 year visit | 
| Median Time to Progression of HRPC | Time to progression of HRPC was calculated as date of progression minus date of first dose of leuprorelin. The data are reported as median (full range). | Baseline (enrollment), after 1 year, after 2 years, and 30 days from 2 year visit | 
| Median Time to Progression of HRPC in Participants Not Started on IAD Regimen | Time to progression of HRPC was calculated as date of progression minus date of first dose of leuprorelin. A Kaplan-Meier estimate of median time to progression to HRPC and 25% and 75% quartiles along with the 95% confidence interval for median were assessed. | Baseline (enrollment), after 1 year, after 2 years, and 30 days from 2 year visit | 
| Median Survival Time | Time to survival was estimated as time from start of leuprorelin up to study completion/discontinuation from the study or date of death. The data are reported as median months with full range. | Baseline (enrollment), after 1 year, after 2 years, and 30 days from 2 year visit | 
| Mean Duration of Treatment-off Time in IAD Regimen | Duration of each leuprorelin free period was calculated as (Date of first dose of leuprorelin [cycle N+1] minus last dose date [cycle N] minus 1)/30.4. If date of last dose of leuprorelin was before the date of study completion/discontinuation then the last leuprorelin free period was calculated as (Date of discontinuation/study completion minus last leuprorelin dose date)/30.4. The data are reported as mean months +/- standard deviation. | Baseline (enrollment), after 1 year, after 2 years, and 30 days from 2 year visit | 
| Median Percentage of Time Off-treatment During 2 Years IAD Regimen | The total duration of leuprorelin free period was calculated as the sum of all leuprorelin free periods. The data are reported as median percentage of time off-treatment with full range. | Baseline (enrollment), after 1 year, after 2 years, and 30 days from 2 year visit |
