Measure Description:

Pathologists grade prostate cancers using numbers from 1 to 5 based on how much the cells in the cancerous tissue look like normal tissue. This is called the Gleason system.

If the cancerous tissue looks like normal tissue, a grade of 1 is assigned. If the cancer cells look very abnormal, a grade of 5 is assigned. Grades 2-4 have features in between these extremes.

Since prostate cancers often have areas with different grades, a grade is assigned to the 2 areas that make up most of the cancer. These 2 grades are added to yield the Gleason score. The highest a Gleason score can be is 10.

6.Secondary Outcome
Title Compare Objective Responses Between the Two Treatment Groups in Patients With Measurable Disease as Defined by RECIST Criteria.
Hide Description Complete Response (CR): Complete disappearance of all measurable and non-measurable disease. No new lesions. No disease related symptoms. Normalization of markers and other abnormal lab values. PSA ≤ .2 ng/ml. Partial Response (PR): Applies only to patients with at least one measurable lesion. Greater than or equal to 30% decrease under baseline of the sum of longest diameters of all target measurable lesions. No unequivocal progression of non-measurable disease. No new lesions.
Time Frame Up to 52 weeks

Hide Analysis Population Description
450 (225 in each arm) of 461 patients with measurable disease at trial enrollment were assessable for response by RECIST.

Title Compare Elements of Quality of Life Between Treatment Arms: Pain Palliation Response, as Measured by the Brief Pain Inventory (BPI)
Hide Description Pain palliation is the proportion of patients showing a two-point reduction in the Worst Pain score (WPS) maintained for two consecutive assessments with no increase in analgesic use. Increase in analgesic use is defined as an increase in Analgesic code Level to 2 (weak opioid) or 3 (strong opioid). Patients will be classified as pain palliated or not palliated. Patients with a WPS of "0" will be defined as "stable" if their WPS remains "0" for Weeks 7 and 10 with no increase in analgesic use, but they will not be categorized as responders. Pain palliation response is measured by BPI short form that has the following: yes/no question about pain today; 4 pain rating questions (worst pain, least pain, average pain, and current pain); pain medications and pain relief; 7 items addressing effect of pain on functioning. For patients who continue to receive treatment beyond 12 treatment cycles, the Worst Pain item is measured by Pain Medication Log and Pain Assessment
Time Frame up to 18 months study period
Hide Outcome Measure Data
Hide Analysis Population Description
There was a large amount of missing data points due to the difficulty of data collection of pain medication logs in addition to a questionnaire.The study team and site staff were only able to obtain complete data for the patients included in this analysis.
