Study design
• Retrospective, real world data analysis from 2007 to 2016 of 22,860 patients with
PCa receiving >2 injections of an LHRH agonist and >1 measurement
of PSA or T.
• All LHRH agonists i.e. leuprolide acetate (intramuscular or subcutaneous), triptorelin
and goserelin were grouped together for analysis
• Analyses used 2 definitions of month for 1, 3, 4 and 6-month
formulations respectively:
1) 28-day Month (late dosing was after day 28, 84, 112 or 168)
2) Extended Month (late dosing was after day 32, 97, 128 or 194) – likely consistent with
usual scheduling in clinical practice
• Frequencies of late dosing, associated T values and rates of
T and PSA testing were captured.
