Study Overview

Brief Summary

To estimate the efficacy of E2 in improving sexual dysfunction during ADT.

Eligibility Criteria

Ages
18 years to 65+ years (65+ Years, 18-64 Years)
Sex
Male
Accepts Healthy Volunteers
No

Inclusion Criteria

  • Known allergy to estradiol or leuprorelin
  • Expected poor compliance or expected survival time of less than one year
  • Patients with expected adjuvant ADT for less than one year
  • Distant bone, lymph node, or soft tissue metastasis
  • Cardiac pacemaker
  • Diabetes Mellitus
  • Prior cardiovascular event or stroke (<12 months)
  • Past or current venous thromboembolism
  • Other untreated or unstable malignancy in risk of recurrence/progression (as judged by the treating physician)
  • Concurrent glucocorticoid treatment

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Primary endpoint will be the efficacy of transdermal estradiol in mitigating the sexual symptoms of ADT

Primary endpoint will be the efficacy of transdermal estradiol in mitigating the sexual symptoms of ADT

Secondary Outcomes

  • Occurrence of ADT-induced adverse effects during ADT in different study groups
  • Tolerability and safety of transdermal E2 during the one-year ADT adjuvant treatment period
  • Impact of transdermal E2 with or without 6-month resistance exercise on the muscle strength, functional capacity, body composition, lean-body muscle mass, and systematic biomarkers (g.e., blood biomarkers of and inflammatory health and muscle biomarkers)
  • Safety and tolerability of 6-month physical exercise combined with or without transdermal E2 during ADT
  • Quality of life and perceived fatigue during ADT in different study groups
