Study to Assess the Feasibility of Stopping Prostate Cancer Treatment Early in Elderly Patients

A Feasibility Trial of LHRH Agonist Discontinuation in Elderly Prostate Cancer Patients


Sponsor

University of Chicago

Enrollment

155 participants

Start Date

Jun 1, 2026

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This study seeks to identify if it is feasible to stop Luteinizing Hormone-Releasing Hormone (LHRH) Agonist Therapy in elderly men with prostate cancer. We hypothesize that elderly prostate cancer patients on long term androgen ablation with LHRH agonists will be permanently castrated and do not require ongoing LHRH agonist therapy. Participants will be monitored by testosterone testing throughout study.


Eligibility

Sex: MALEMin Age: 70 Years

Inclusion Criteria6

  • Prostate cancer with \>3 years of LHRH agonist therapy.
  • Age ≥70 years.
  • ECOG performance status ≤2
  • Baseline testosterone of \< 20 ng/ml
  • No prior chemotherapy or Lu-PSMA (unless survival predictions are favorable).
  • Ability to understand and sign informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria1

  • none

Interventions

BEHAVIORALLHRH Agonist Therapy Discontinuation

The intervention involves \*\*discontinuing LHRH agonist therapy\*\* in elderly prostate cancer patients who have been on long-term androgen deprivation therapy. Participants will be monitored for testosterone recovery and PSA levels over a period of up to 3 years.
