Neoadjuvant Androgen Deprivation Therapy and Chemotherapy Followed by Radical Prostatectomy in Patients With Prostate Cancer
This is a study for men who have locally-advanced prostate cancer and are eligible to undergo prostatectomy. Standard treatment is prostatectomy alone, but there is a chance that cancer may spread to other organs in the future, even after the prostate is removed. If this were to occur, standard treatment would be androgen deprivation therapy (ADT; hormone therapy that blocks testosterone) plus chemotherapy. Clinical trials suggest that neoadjuvant treatment (treatment given before primary therapy) may prevent a recurrence. The purpose of this research study is to assess the safety and benefit of ADT plus chemotherapy given before prostate removal.

- Prostate Cancer
Interventions
- Degarelix

Primary outcomes
- Efficacy as Measured by Pathologic Response — Day of prostate removal, which is about 5 months following the day participant signed consent.
Pathologic response is defined by percentage of tumor burden remaining at time of prostate removal. Percentage of tumor burden is measured based on a pathologist's assessment of the prostate tissue removed and visual estimate of how much tumor there is in the prostate.
