Brief Summary: RATIONALE Androgens can stimulate the growth of prostate cancer cells Hormone therapy using triptorelin may fight prostate cancer by reducing the production of androgens

PURPOSE Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of long-term hormone therapy and triptorelin with no further treatment in treating patients who have advanced prostate cancer previously treated with radiation therapy and 6 months of androgen suppression
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the best hormonal scheme to be associated with pelvic radiotherapy in the curative management of prostatic carcinoma for hormonal treatment with regards to treatment outcome overall survival clinical disease free survival local regional control quality of life treatment side effects sexual function and health economy cost effectiveness ratio

OUTLINE This is a randomized multicenter study

Patients receive external radiation for 5 weeks followed by a pelvic boost given for 2 weeks and a 6 month combined androgen blockage initiated at the onset of external irradiation Flutamide Eulexin or bicalutamide Casodex may be used as the antiandrogens Antiandrogen treatment starts 1 week before the first injection of triptorelin

Patients are then randomized to one of two treatment arms

Arm I Patients receive no further treatment
Arm II Patients receive antiandrogen for 25 years plus and LHRH analogue triptorelin administered every 3 months Patients then continue the LHRH analogue alone for an additional 25 years in the absence of disease progression

Patients are followed every 6 months for 5 years and then annually thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 966 patients will be accrued over 5 years
