Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
RATIONALE: Testosterone can stimulate the growth of prostate cancer cells. Hormone therapy may be effective treatment for prostate cancer. It is not yet known which regimen of hormone therapy is most effective for stage IV prostate cancer. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying two different regimens of hormone therapy and comparing how well they work in treating men with stage IV prostate cancer.

- type
- ACTIVE_COMPARATOR
- label
- Consolidation arm I
- description
- Patients continue CAD therapy comprising goserelin subcutaneously once a month and oral bicalutamide once daily. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression.
- interventionNames
- Drug: bicalutamide
- Drug: goserelin acetate
- type
- EXPERIMENTAL
- label
- Consolidation arm II
- description
- Patients undergo observation in the absence of rising prostate-specific antigen (PSA) or clinical symptoms of progressive disease. Patients with rising PSA or progressive disease begin CAD therapy as in consolidation arm I. Patients whose PSA normalizes after 8 courses return to observation. Patients whose PSA does not normalize after 8 courses continue CAD therapy.
