Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Patient bother from injection site burning and/or stinging [ Time Frame: 15 minutes ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Questionnaire reponses recorded on a Visual Analog Scale


Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Other patient perceptions relative to the injection [ Time Frame: 15 minutes ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
    Questionnaire reponses recorded on a Visual Analog Scale


Enrollment: 118

Study Completion Date: April 2011
Primary Completion Date: April 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Leuprolide acetate
Leuprolide acetate followed 6 months later by triptorelin pamoate, or vice versa.
 Drug: Leuprolide acetate
Leuprolide acetate for injectable suspension 45 mg administered as a single subcutaneous injection in the upper- or mid-abdominal area.
Active Comparator: Triptorelin pamoate
Triptorelin pamoate followed 6 months later by leuprolide acetate, or vice versa.
 Drug: Triptorelin pamoate
Triptorelin pamoate for injectable suspension 22.5 mg administered as a single intramuscular injection in either buttock

Detailed Description:

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).

  Eligibility

Ages Eligible for Study:   18 Years and older
Genders Eligible for Study:   Male
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

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
