Goserelin (Zoladex) 3.6 mg SC once every 4 weeks, to start during the last week of radiation therapy and to continue indefinitely or until progression
Radiation therapy, 1.8 to 2 Gy per fraction, with an initial 44 to 46 Gy to the pelvis, then an additional boost to the prostate that resulted in a total dose of 65 to 70 Gy in definitive radiation patients; 60 to 65 Gy total dose for post-prostatectomy patients

Patients already on androgen deprivation therapy were eligible to participate in ECOG E3805 if there was no evidence of disease progression and if they had started ADT no more than 120 days before randomization.
Intermittent hormonal therapy was not allowed. Antiandrogens e.g. bicalutamide were allowed at the start of therapy "at the discretion of the investigator."
At least calcium 500 mg and vitamin D 400 IU PO once per day
21-day cycle for up to 6 cycles

Patients enrolled in the trial had hormone-refractory prostate cancer and progression of disease during docetaxel treatment or within 45 days of stopping docetaxel treatment.
Note: In contrast to its abstract, Reuter et al. 2010 sometimes used "days 1, 8, (15)" to describe when docetaxel was given. The paper did not specifically say what "(15)" meant, such as whether this meant that the day 15 dose was optional.
Patients continued to receive LHRH (luteinizing hormone releasing hormone) agonists
No routine use of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF)
28-day cycles

Patients in Kaufman et al. 2014 had germline BRCA1/2 mutations and had progression on hormonal and one systemic therapy.
Patients in Mateo et al. 2015 (TOPARP-A) who were found to have homozygous deletions, deleterious mutations, or both in DNA-repair genes were much more likely to respond to olaparib.
Given until progression of disease or unacceptable toxicity

Immunotherapy for metastatic castrate-resistant disease
Lower doses including 3 mg/kg (the FDA approved dose) were investigated, but the 10 mg/kg dose was recommended in this study
Concurrent radiotherapy given focally at a single dose of 8 Gy per target bone lesion for up to three bone lesions per patient at 24 to 48 h before the first ipilimumab dose.
21-day cycle for 4 cycles

Measuring disease progression
Criteria used for disease progression in prostate cancer clinical trials, Prostate Cancer Clinical Trials Working Group 2 (PCWG2):[1]
Castrate level of serum testosterone is less than 50 ng/dL (less than 1.7 nmol/L)
However, there is controversy/disagreement in other references about whether a lower level should be used, such as less than 20 ng/dL (0.7 nmol/L)[2]
PSA rise
Starting PSA of at least 2.0 ng/mL
Rising PSA values which are measured at least 1-week apart
Pretherapy PSA doubling times (PSA-DT) can be estimated if there are at least 3 PSA values measured at least 4 weeks apart
Bony metastases
At least 2 new lesions indicates progressive disease
It is recommended to assess ambiguous results with other imaging modalities such as CT or MRI
Measurable lesions (RECIST) - this is a lower priority criteria by the PCWG2 because fewer patients have measurable lesions as compared to, for example, bony metastases
Baseline imaging involves chest imaging with x-ray or CT, CT or MRI of the abdomen/pelvis, and radionuclide bone scan
It is recommended that local disease is assessed by endorectal MRI or prostatic ultrasound
Neurologic symptoms should be assessed with MRI of the spine and base of the skull
Positron emission tomography (PET) is not recommended and is considered investigational
Decipher, GenomeDx's genomic prognostic prostate cancer assay
"the Decipher Test uses the expression of these biomarkers to calculate the probability of clinical metastasis within 5 years of radical prostatectomy surgery, and within 3 years of successive PSA rise (biochemical recurrence)."
