Study summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate if androgen deprivation therapy in men with prostate cancer increases hepatic fat content and changes visceral/subcutaneous fat distribution.

Read the detailed description

This is a substudy of the ongoing randomized trial entitled: Metabolic Changes Due to Iatrogenic Hypogonadism in Patients With Prostate Cancer: Orchiectomy vs. Triptorelin (EudraCT number: 2013-002553-29). 20 consecutive patients are anticipated to participate regardless of assignment to either orchiectomy or triptorelin.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in hepatic fat content

    Change in hepatic fat content measured by Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

    Time frame: At baseline (within 4 weeks of commencement of androgen deprivation therapy) and after 24 weeks

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in visceral/subcutaneous fat mass

    Changes in visceral and subcutaneous fat mass measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

    Time frame: At baseline (within 4 weeks of commencement of androgen deprivation therapy) and after 24 weeks

  2. Correlation between Hepatic fat content and baseline androgen status

    To investigate possible correlation between androgen status before commencing androgen deprivation therapy and hepatic fat content at baseline.

    Time frame: Androgen status measured before commencement of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), hepatic fat content measured at baseline (within 1 month of commencing androgen deprivation therapy)
