RecoverPC: A Phase 2 Study of RElugolix Versus GnRH Agonist Quality of Life (QOL) and Testosterone reCOVERy in Men With Prostate Cancer
Summary
This study is testing the way that approved androgen deprivation therapy treatments, Leuprolide and Relugolix, for prostate cancer affect quality of life, blood levels, cholesterol, and blood sugar. The drugs are already standard treatment for people with prostate cancer, and the drugs will be used as described in their label. The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: * Leuprolide (type of ADT) * Relugolix (type of ADT)
Detailed description
This is a phase 2 clinical trial comparing patient-reported Quality of Life (QOL) among men with localized or biochemically recurrent prostate cancer treated with relugolix versus leuprolide depot therapy. Participants will be randomized into one of the study groups leuprolide versus relugolix. Randomization means that a participant is put into a study group by chance. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved leuprolide and relugolix as treatment options for prostate cancer. The research study procedures include screening for eligibility and study treatment including evaluations and follow up visits, ECGs, and blood tests. Participation in this research study is expected to last 12 months. It is expected about 110 people will take part in this research study. The Prostate Cancer Foundation and Pfizer are supporting this research study by providing funding. Myovant is supporting this study by providing the drug, Relugolix.
Arms & interventions

Outcome measures
Primary
9-month Quality of Life (QOL) Score
The QOL assessed using Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Prostate (FACT-P) questionnaire, defined protocol section 11.1.1: The FACT-P (version 4) contains 39 Likert-type items distributed over 5 subscales: physical (7 items), social/family (7 items), emotional (6 items), and functional (7 items) well-being, and the additional concerns related to prostate cancer scale (12 items). The FACT-P total score is calculated by summing all these 5 subscales and ranges from 0 to 156.
