Scientific titleLifestyle intervention in men with advanced prostate cancer receiving androgen suppression therapy: a randomised control trial
Study hypothesis1. Patients undergoing androgen suppression therapy (AST) randomised to a lifestyle intervention increase their total physical activity levels in comparison to a usual care control group over the period of the intervention and at six months of follow up.
2. Patients undergoing AST randomised to a pragmatic lifestyle intervention experience improvements in health-related outcomes in comparison to a usual care control group over the period of the intervention and at six months of follow up.
3. Patients undergoing AST randomised to a lifestyle intervention demonstrate improvements in biomarkers associated with disease progression in comparison to a usual care control group.

As of 03/05/2012, the following changes were made on the record.
Anticipated end date has been updated from 01/09/2009 to 01/01/2013.
Target number of participants has been updated from 50 to 100.
Ethics approval(s)Ethical approval and research governance approval for this study was granted by South Sheffield Research Ethics Committee and the Sheffield Teaching Hospitals research department on the 22nd of June 2007 (ref: 07/Q2305/3)
ConditionMen with advanced prostate cancer receiving androgen suppression therapy
InterventionA 12 week pragmatic, combined exercise and diet advice intervention (a "lifestyle" intervention) compared with usual clinical care controls.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measureCurrent primary outcome measures as of 12/07/2013:
To be measured at baseline, 12 and 26 weeks:
1. Quality of life measured using the FACTP questionnaire
2. Diastolic blood pressure measured using an automated sphygmomanometer

Previous primary outcome measures:
1. Exercise behaviour measured using the Godin Leisure Score Index questionnaire at baseline, 12 weeks and 6 months of follow-up
2. Dietary intake measured using three day diet diaries over the intervention period
Secondary outcome measuresCurrent secondary outcome measures as of 12/07/2013:
To be measured at baseline, 12 and 26 weeks:
1. Fatigue measured using the FACT-F questionnaire
2. Aerobic exercise tolerance measured using the Bruce treadmill protocol
3. Body mass measured using balance beam scales
4. Systolic blood pressure measured using an automated sphygmomanometer
5. Exercise behaviour measured using the Godin leisure score index questionnaire and heart rate monitoring

To be measured at baseline and 12 weeks:
1. Dietary macro- and micro-nutrients measured using three-day diet diaries and Netwisp software
2. PSA measured using an immunoenzymatic assay
3. Serum lipid profile measured using an enzymatic colorimetric assay
4. Serum androgen profile measured using an electrochemiluminescence assay
5. Arterial health measured using flow-mediated dilatation

Previous secondary outcome measures:
1. Quality of life measured using the FACT-P questionnaire
2. Fatigue measured using the FACT-F questionnaire
3. Body Mass Index (BMI) and waist-to-hip ratio
4. Aerobic exercise tolerance measured using the Bruce treadmill protocol
5. Lower limb strength measured using isokinetic dynamometry
6. Functional capacity measured using the chair sit-to-stand test
Above outcomes measured at baseline, 12 weeks and at six months of follow-up.
7. Biomarkers associated with disease progression were assessed at baseline and after the intervention period.
