MRI Substudy; Metabolic Changes Due to Iatrogenic Hypogonadism

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Hypogonadism
Fatty Liver
Metabolic Syndrome
Prostate Cancer
Interventions
Procedure: Orchiectomy
Registration Number
NCT02102646
Lead Sponsor
Herlev Hospital
Brief 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.

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.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in hepatic fat contentAt baseline (within 4 weeks of commencement of androgen deprivation therapy) and after 24 weeks

Change in hepatic fat content measured by Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in visceral/subcutaneous fat massAt baseline (within 4 weeks of commencement of androgen deprivation therapy) and after 24 weeks

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

Correlation between Hepatic fat content and baseline androgen statusAndrogen status measured before commencement of androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), hepatic fat content measured at baseline (within 1 month of commencing androgen deprivation therapy)

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