Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

RATIONALE: Androgens can cause the growth of prostate cancer cells. Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonists may lessen the amount of androgens made by the body. Internal radiation uses radioactive material placed directly into or near a tumor to kill tumor cells. Giving luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist together with an iodine I 125 implant may be an effective treatment for patients with prostate cancer.

PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying how well giving luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist therapy together with an iodine I 125 implant works with or without additional luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone agonist therapy in treating patients with previously untreated prostate cancer.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

OBJECTIVES:

* To evaluate the biochemical progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival, clinical PFS, and disease-free survival of patients with previously untreated intermediate-risk prostate cancer treated with neoadjuvant luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist therapy and permanent iodine I 125 implantation with vs without adjuvant LHRH agonist therapy.
* To determine the non-adaptive interval to salvage therapy in patients treated with these regimens.
* To determine the safety of these regimens in these patients.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.

* Arm I: Patients receive neoadjuvant luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH) agonist therapy for up to 3 months and undergo permanent iodine I 125 implantation. Patients then receive adjuvant LHRH agonist therapy for up to 9 months.
* Arm II: Patients receive neoadjuvant LHRH agonist therapy and undergo permanent iodine I 125 implantation as in arm I.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

AHT group

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Adjuvant therapy

Intervention Type DRUG

AHT group receives 9 cycle of LHRH-A (goserelin acetate 3.6 mg/4 weeks or leuprorelin acetate 3.75 mg/4 weeks) after Iodine I-125 implantation (TPPB).
