The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the study medication (Eligard®) on cancer markers (in the blood) of prostate cancer.
The main objective of the study is to explore the effect of Eligard® on the following prostate cancer biomarkers: Testosterone in serum, Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) in serum, Prostate Cancer Antigen (PCA3 score) in urine, PSA mRNA in blood/Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cell (PBMC), PCA3 mRNA in blood/PBMC, Transmembrane protease, serine 2-Ets Related Gene (TMPRSS2-ERG) mRNA in blood/PBMC A blood sample for RNA analysis will also be collected and stored for future investigation in patients giving specific informed consent.
