Trial summary

French epidemiological data have shown a heterogeneous distribution of the risk of mortality from prostate cancer according to region. The main objective is to describe the distribution of prostate cancer stages when first line hormonal therapy is introduced (overall and by region). Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Impact of the Geographical FACTor on the Prostate Cancer Stage at Hormonal Therapy Initiation: FACT STUDY

French epidemiological data have shown a heterogeneous distribution of the risk of mortality from prostate cancer according to region. The main objective is to describe the distribution of prostate cancer stages when first line hormonal therapy is introduced (overall and by region).

Conditions
Prostate Cancer
Being tested
Degarelix or GnRH agonist

What participants receive

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Estimated percentage of different prostate cancer stages (overall and by region)

    The stages of prostate cancer are classified as locally advanced, metastatic and biological recurrence.

    Measured: During a single consultation when first-line prostate cancer hormone therapy is started

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. The characteristics of the patients with prostate cancer by region

    Characteristics are described by demography, tumour characteristics, Gleason score, D'Amico score, prostate specific antigen (PSA), Testosterone and treatment history

    Measured: During a single consultation when first-line prostate cancer hormone therapy is started

  2. The influence of regional factors on staging of prostate cancer

    The regional influence will be demonstrated by modelling the probability of a patient being at one of the cancer stages (locally advanced cancer, metastatic cancer, biological recurrence).

    Measured: During a single consultation when first-line prostate cancer hormone therapy is started

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prostate Cancer, run by Ferring Pharmaceuticals at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 17 Jul 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Estimated percentage of different prostate cancer stages (overall and by region) (time frame: During a single consultation when first-line prostate cancer hormone therapy is started). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 17 Jul 2014.
