Study summary

Men treated with neoadjuvant luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH)-agonists such as leuprolide and goserelin for prostate cancer will become hypogonadal due to hormonal suppression and demonstrate increased bone turnover and consequent bone loss at the hip and spine. This bone loss can be prevented by treatment with 35 mg/week of risedronate.

Read the detailed description

A 6-month randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted, including 40 men aged ≥ 55 years receiving LHRH-agonist treatment for 6 months for locally advanced prostate cancer. Bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine, femoral neck, and total hip was measured every 6 months. In addition, bone turnover markers including N-telopeptide, serum C-telopeptide and procollagen peptide, and 25-OH vitamin D and intact parathyroid hormone were measured at baseline and at 6 months.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percent Change in Bone Mineral Density

    BMD was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (Lunar DXA-IQ, Madison, WI, USA). The BMD of the femoral neck, total hip, and lumbar spine (L1-L4) was measured. Underlying data are no longer available; reported means have been estimated from the results publication.

    Time frame: baseline and 6 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percent Change of Bone Turnover Markers

    Bone turnover markers including N-telopeptide (NTX), serum C-telopeptide (CTX) and procollagen peptide (P1NP), and 25-OH vitamin D and intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) were measured at baseline and at 6 months. Reported means have been estimated from the results publication as the underlying data are no longer available. Data for Vitamin D and PTH were not included in the publication.
