Prostate Adenocarcinoma: TransCutaneous Hormones

The Prostate Adenocarcinoma: TransCutaneous Hormones (PATCH) study is a large randomized controlled trial in the United Kingdom of high-dose transdermal estradiol patches versus gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist therapy in the treatment of prostate cancer in men.[1][2][3] It is specifically comparing three to four 100 μg/day estradiol patches (FemSeven or Progynova TS) against goserelin implants in approximately 2,200 men with prostate cancer.[1][4] The study was started in March 2006 and is estimated for completion in August 2021, with additional reports expected in 2023 and 2024.[1][4] Its objectives include comparison of survival, cardiovascular mortality and morbidity, pharmacological activity (e.g., suppression of testosterone levels), other side effects and toxicities, and quality of life.[1] A report on long-term cardiovascular outcomes was published in February 2021, and other reports for the study have also been published.[4]

Besides the PATCH trial, the Systemic Therapy in Advancing or Metastatic Prostate Cancer: Evaluation of Drug Efficacy (STAMPEDE) trial, also in the United Kingdom, added a high-dose transdermal estradiol patches arm with approximately 2,000 men in July 2017.[5][2][3]
