Impact of hormone-therapy of new generations on elderly patient cognitive functions treated for a metastatic prostate cancer

Coordinator: Florence Joly

Context: New hormonotherapy targeting the androgenic axis are used in metastatic prostate cancer patients resistant to castration. Even if these treatments have demonstrated a clear beneficial impact on the global survival, their effects on cognitive functions have never been tested while cognitive troubles would affect the observance and the autonomy of elderly patients.

Objective: To evaluate the occurrence of cognitive deficits and the cognitive complaint of elderly patients treated by a new generation hormonotherapy (Abiraterone acetate or enzalutamide) for a metastatic prostate cancer resistant to castration.

Study methodology: Non-randomized, longitudinal study, multicentric comparing a group of patients of interest (134), a control patient group (55) and a group of healthy volunteers (33)

Study status: Open to inclusions, 151 participants included so far

Collaboration: 7 participating centers

Financial support: INCA and ASTELLAS, doctoral grant INCa SHS 2021
