An open and randomized study comparing the efficacy of standard danazol and modified triptorelin regimens for postoperative disease management of moderate to severe endometriosis.
    Fertility and sterility, 2004, Volume: 81, Issue:6

    To compare the efficacy of danazol and triptorelin (Decapeptyl CR, Ferring, Kiel, Germany) in the management of moderate and severe endometriosis in terms of symptom control and revised American Fertility Society (AFS) score reduction, and to evaluate the hormonal profile of patients treated with triptorelin every 6 weeks.. Open and randomized trial.. Kwong Wah Hospital, a large public hospital in an urban location (Hong Kong).. Forty patients after their first conservative operation for endometriosis, with surgical confirmation of revised AFS stage III or IV endometriosis.. Postoperative 6 months' therapy of danazol or triptorelin every 6 weeks, postmedical therapy second-look laparoscopy.. Symptom control and patients' tolerance during medical therapy, posttherapy revised AFS score, hormonal profile during triptorelin therapy.. Pain control was similar between danazol and triptorelin therapy. There was less breakthrough bleeding with triptorelin. More patients failed to complete the whole course of danazol because of its side effects. The revised AFS score at second-look laparoscopy did not show a significant difference between the two medications. Adequate pituitary suppression was observed with injection of triptorelin every 6 weeks.. Lengthening of triptorelin administration intervals from 4 weeks to 6 weeks is effective in maintaining a hypoestrogenic state. Patients were more compliant with triptorelin than danazol. Thus, triptorelin injection every 6 weeks is more cost-effective than conventional regimens.

Estroprogestin vs. gonadotrophin agonists plus estroprogestin in the treatment of endometriosis-related pelvic pain: a randomized trial. Gruppo Italiano per lo Studio dell'Endometriosi.
    European journal of obstetrics, gynecology, and reproductive biology, 2000, Volume: 88, Issue:1

    This is a randomized clinical trial comparing estroprogestin (E/P) pill given for 12 months vs. gonadotrophin releasing hormone agonist (GNRHa) given for 4 months followed by E/P pill treatment for 8 months in the relief of endometriosis-related pelvic pain.. Eligible for the study were women with laparoscopically confirmed endometriosis and pelvic pain lasting 3-12 months after diagnosis. Eligible women were randomly assigned to treatment with E/P pill (gestroden 0.75 mg and ethynlestradiol 0.03 mg) for 12 months (47 patients) vs. tryptorelin 3.75 mg slow release every 28 days for 4 months followed by E/P pill for 8 months (55 patients).. At baseline, dysmenorrhea was reported in 46 women allocated to E/P pill only (97.9%), and in all the 55 women allocated to GNRHa+E/P pill. The corresponding value at the 12 months follow-up visit was 14 subjects (35.9%) and 16 subjects (34.8%). The baseline median values of the multidimensional and analog scale were for dysmenorrhea 4 and 6 in the EP only and 3 and 6 in the GNRHa+E/P group. The corresponding value at the 12 months follow-up visit were 2 and 6 and 0 and 5. Non-menstrual pain was reported, respectively, at baseline and 12 month visit by 46 (97.9%) and 15 (38.5%) subjects in the E/P pill group and 49 (89.1%) and 17 (37.0%) of the GNRHa+E/P pill one. The baseline median values of the multidimensional and analog scale were for non-menstrual pain 3 and 5 in the E/P only and 2 and 6 in the GNRHa+E/P group. The corresponding values at the 12 month follow-up visit were 0 and 4 and 0 and 4. These differences between the two groups were not statistically significant.. 1 year after randomization, the two treatment schedules show similar relief of pelvic pain in women with endometriosis.

Combination therapy with flutamide and castration (LHRH agonist or orchiectomy) in previously untreated patients with clinical stage D2 prostate cancer: today's therapy of choice.
    Journal of steroid biochemistry, 1988, Volume: 30, Issue:1-6

    One hundred and ninety-nine patients with clinical stage D2 prostate cancer who had not received previous endocrine therapy or chemotherapy were treated with the combination therapy using the pure antiandrogen Flutamide and the LHRH agonist [D-Trp6]LHRH ethylamide for an average of 26 months (3-59 months). The objective response to the treatment was assessed according to the criteria of the U.S. NPCP. There was a 5.7-fold increase (26.3 vs 4.6%) in the percentage of patients who achieved a complete response compared with the results obtained in five recent studies limited to removal (orchiectomy) or blockade (DES or Leuprolide) of testicular androgens. Only 12 of the 186 evaluable patients (6.5%) did not show an objective positive response at the start of the combination therapy compared with an average of 18% in the same five studies using monotherapy. The duration of response was also significantly improved in the patients who received the combination therapy while the death rate was decreased by approximately two-fold during the first 4 yr of treatment. In fact, while an approximately 50% death rate is observed at 2 yr in all studies using monotherapy, the same 50% death rate is delayed by 2 yr in the present study. It should be mentioned that at the time of relapse under combination therapy, the treatment is continued and, in addition, further blockade of adrenal androgen secretion is achieved with aminoglutethimide. The marked (5.7-fold) improvement in the rate of complete objective responses coupled with the three-fold decrease in the number of non-responders, the increased duration of the positive responses and the two-fold decrease in the death rate during the first 4 yr of treatment are obtained with the combination therapy using Flutamide and castration, thus improving the quality and duration of life with no or minimal side-effects. By blocking the androgen receptors in the prostatic cancer tissue, the antiandrogen decreases the action of the androgens of adrenal origin and thus inhibits the growth of a large number of tumors which, otherwise, would continue to be stimulated by the adrenal androgens left after medical or surgical castration.

Orchiectomy versus long-acting D-Trp-6-LHRH in advanced prostatic cancer.
    British journal of urology, 1987, Volume: 59, Issue:3

    One hundred and four patients were randomised for the study. Fifty-five were entered into the D-Trp-6-LHRH group and 49 into the orchiectomy group. All pre-treatment patient characteristics were similar and testosterone levels at 1 month or later were in the castrate range in both groups. Forty-six patients (83%) in the D-Trp-6-LHRH group and 40 (82%) in the orchiectomy group had a partial remission or stable disease at 3 months or later. There was no significant difference between the groups for response or survival. Three patients in the D-Trp-6-LHRH group had a disease "flare" in the first 10 days of treatment. The flare symptoms resolved by the end of 4 to 8 weeks. The incidence of flushing, decreased libido and impotence was similar in both groups. Although there was less psychological morbidity in the D-Trp-6-LHRH group the difference did not reach statistical significance. Our results indicate that long-acting D-Trp-6-LHRH offers a safe and highly effective alternative to orchiectomy.

Randomised controlled study of orchidectomy vs long-acting D-Trp-6-LHRH microcapsules in advanced prostatic carcinoma.
    Lancet (London, England), 1985, Nov-30, Volume: 2, Issue:8466

    Safety and efficacy of a slow-release formulation of D-Trp-6-luteinising-hormone-releasing-hormone (D-Trp-6-LHRH) microcapsules were compared with orchidectomy in the initial treatment of advanced prostatic carcinoma. 41 patients were randomly assigned to D-Trp-6-LHRH and 38 to orchidectomy. Suppression of testosterone and reduction in prostatic acid phosphatase levels were similar in both groups. 87% of patients in the D-Trp-6-LHRH group and 81% in the orchidectomy group responded to treatment or showed no deterioration. Side-effects related to the decrease in testosterone were similar in both groups. 3 patients given D-Trp-6-LHRH had a disease "flare" in the first ten days of treatment which resolved completely when testosterone fell to castrate levels. Results of psychological assessment were similar in both groups before treatment, and on follow-up there was a weak trend towards decreased psychological morbidity in the hormone group. The slow-release preparation of D-Trp-6-LHRH microcapsules offers an important alternative in the management of advanced prostatic carcinoma.

Improvement of digestive complaints in women with severe colorectal endometriosis benefiting from continuous amenorrhoea triggered by triptorelin. A prospective pilot study.
    Gynecologie, obstetrique & fertilite, 2015, Volume: 43, Issue:9

    To assess the impact of therapeutic amenorrhoea triggered by triptorelin in the digestive complaints of women with deep endometriosis infiltrating the rectum.. Prospective series of consecutive patients with deep endometriosis of the rectum enrolled over a period of 17 consecutive months.. University tertiary referral center.. Seventy patients.. Medical therapy (triptorelin 11.25 mg and add-back therapy using estradiol) administered for 3.4±1.8months before surgery.. Gastrointestinal standardised questionnaires before beginning medical treatment and the day before surgery.. The most frequent digestive complaints at baseline were: defecation pain in 77.1% of patients, bloating in 60%, diarrhoea in 54.3% and constipation in 50%. The largest diameter of the rectal area infiltrated by the disease was <1cm in 12.2% of women, 1 to 2.9 cm in 34.3% and ≥3cm in 51.4%. Multiple colorectal nodules were found in 32.9%. Medical treatment led to disappearance of cyclic defecation pain in 78.6%, dyschesia in 58.3%, diarrhoea in 58.3% and bloating in 50%. Relieving digestive complaints was not significantly related to either length of triptorelin administration or size of rectal infiltration by deep endometriosis.. Therapeutic amenorrhoea averaging 3 months allowed complete improvement of various cyclic digestive complaints in more than half of patients. In selected patients, continuous therapeutic amenorrhoea could compensate for the lack of complete resection of deep infiltrating endometriosis of the rectum, when this latter is likely to result in a high rate of postoperative morbidity.

The association between supra-physiological levels of estradiol and response patterns to experimental pain.
    European journal of pain (London, England), 2010, Volume: 14, Issue:8

    The precise mechanism by which gonadal hormones influence pain perception is still obscure. However, no studies have examined experimental pain responses at supra-physiological hormone levels. This study explored the influence of pharmacological estradiol (E2) levels on the stability of pain perception obtained via quantitative sensory testing. A repeated measures design was used with 31 women, treated by a same In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) protocol. Patterns of experimental pain response were assessed in three different sessions (baseline, down regulation, maximal ovarian stimulation). Correlations between hormonal levels (E2, progesterone, luteinizing hormone (LH)) and pain perceptions were assessed at each session. While in the entire sample the pattern of response to pain stimulations remained unchanged regardless of hormonal manipulations, a greater pain sensitivity was associated with supra-physiological levels of E2 during the maximal ovarian stimulation session (for 47 degrees C stimulation: r=.383, p=0.044). Mixed model repeated measures ANOVA indicated that participants who over-responded to the ovarian stimulation session (E2 > 10,500 pmol/l) showed significant enhanced pain responses under this condition (p=0.004). No correlations between progesterone, LH and experimental pain perception were found in any of the study sessions. Although pain perceptions at different E2 levels remained constant, the enhancement of pain scoring at supra-physiological E2 levels, underscore the possible role of sex hormones in pain modulation and experience.
