- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Main Objective: To assess whether patients with castration resistant prostate cancer survive without their cancer getting worse (progression free survival) for longer than standard treatment, when receiving triamcinolone whilst continuing GnRH analog treatment and following failure of hormone therapy. This will be assessed by measuring PSA levels. ;Secondary Objective: 1.Time to PSA progression<br>2.Time to symptomatic progression<br>3.CTC response at 28 days<br>4.To evaluate translational endpoints<br>;Primary end point(s): Progression free survival;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Time from first administration of study drug to the first observation of disease<br>progression or death.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Secondary end point(s): Time to PSA progression, symptomatic progression, CTC response at 28 days<br><br>Translational endpoints: Effect of T887A and AR ccr on response to treatment.<br>Blood sample collection: SNP analysis for those involved in<br>androgen synthesis and metabolism;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Circulating tumour cell response evaluation at 28days
