What is Lupron Depot

LeuprolideThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryLeuprolide is a synthetic hormone-like drug used to reduce the levels of sex hormones in the body. It is a version of the natural hormone gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) and works by mimicking its effects on the body. Leuprolide is used to treat advanced prostate cancer, endometriosis, and early puberty. It is available as a daily subcutaneous injection under the name Lupron™ by Abbvie Endocrine Inc. and newer versions of the drug can be injected every six months. Leuprolide is the main treatment for these conditions.

Effectiveness

How Lupron Depot Affects PatientsLeuprolide is a drug used to reduce the production of hormones like testosterone and estradiol. It is used to treat endometriosis, uterine leiomyomata, advanced prostate cancer, and central precocious puberty in children. When taking leuprolide, women should be aware of the risk of decreased bone mineral density and pregnancy complications. Men may experience flares of prostate cancer symptoms, as well as hyperglycemia, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. In children, side effects may include convulsions and psychiatric symptoms. Patients with a history of depression should watch for recurrence of depressive symptoms.
How Lupron Depot works in the bodyLeuprolide works by activating the release of hormones from the pituitary gland. This in turn leads to an increase in sex hormones, like testosterone and estrogen. After a few weeks of use, the hormones stop being released and the effects of leuprolide are reversed.

When to interrupt dosage

The endorsed dose of Lupron Depot is contingent upon the diagnosed condition, including Anger Management Therapy, Central Precocious Puberty (CPP) and Uterine Fibroids. The dosage is dependent on the method of delivery (e.g. Intramuscular or Intramuscular; Topical) specified in the table hereunder.

Lupron Depot Reviews: What are patients saying about Lupron Depot?

4.7Patient Review

Lupron Depot for Advanced Form of Prostate Cancer
The 3-month lupron injection was a success in my case. It brought my testosterone level from 840 to 11 within three weeks! However, there are side effects that come with it, including: 1) lack of sexual desire and performance; 2) hot flashes; 3) fatigue; and 4) low red blood cell count (anemia). Despite all this, the drug is still effective in fighting prostate cancer.

Lupron Depot for Advanced Form of Prostate Cancer
Lupron is a pretty effective drug, but it's not without its drawbacks. I experienced decreased sexual desire and performance, hot flashes, fatigue, and low red blood cell count (anemia). So while it was successful in treating my prostate cancer, it wasn't exactly a fun experience.

7/5/2022
Lupron Depot for Advanced Form of Prostate Cancer
I've been on Lupron for three years now, taking it every three months to keep my prostate cancer at bay. It does lower my PSA and testosterone levels as well as slowing the cancer's growth, but the side effects are pretty harsh. I get hot flashes all day long, every day, and they range in intensity. They make it impossible to get a good night's sleep, which is really tough. I haven't found any medication that helps much with them; it's just something I have to deal with.

Lupron Depot for Advanced Form of Prostate Cancer
Lupron is an effective treatment for reacurring prostate cancer, slowing the growth of the cancer and lowering PSA levels. However, the side effects can be difficult to deal with. I suffer from constant hot flashes which make it impossible to get a good night's sleep. I haven't found any medication that helps much with this side effect, so it's a trade-off between dealing with the cancer and dealing with the side effects.

Ketamine for Pelvic Pain

18 - 89
Female
Cleveland, OH
The purpose of this research study is to see if ketamine infusion during surgery can decrease pain after surgery. Ketamine is a medication commonly used as part of anesthesia during surgery and is approved by the US FDA. Patients will be randomized to either receive standard anesthesia with OR without ketamine. The surgical procedure will be the same regardless of which group patients are randomized to. After surgery, patients will be asked to rate their pain in the post-operative observation unit and at their two-week post-operative visit. No additional visits are required for participation in this study. The investigators estimate the surveys will take approximately 10 minutes to complete.

All Sexes
Philadelphia, PA
Uterine fibroids are a common condition that can cause heavy and/or painful menstrual bleeding. There are many treatment options, but they vary in efficacy, side effects, short-term recovery and long-term implications for future fertility. Patients can have difficulty deciding between these options. In this study, the investigators will randomly assign patients seeking treatment for fibroids to receive an educational video on fibroids and their treatment, versus usual care (no video). The investigators will assess their decisional conflict with and without exposure to the video using a validated survey to see if exposure to the educational video helps them make decisions.

Chromopertubation for Uterine Fibroids

18+
Female
Washington, United States
This study uses a procedure called chromopertubation to look at how fibroids and fibroid surgery affect the fallopian tubes. Specifically, this study will test if the fallopian tubes are occluded or patent (open) before and after surgically removing fibroids. Chromopertubation is a commonly performed and well-established procedure that is done during laparoscopic surgery to determine if the fallopian tubes are open or blocked. It includes inserting a dilute solution of saline with a small amount of medical-grade blue dye (called methylene blue) into the uterine cavity to see if it spills out of the fallopian tubes. Chromopertubation is considered a safe procedure - the main risk is an allergic reaction to the dye, which is very rare. The minimum amount of methylene blue dye will be used to further reduce risks of a reaction. Open fallopian tubes are necessary to become pregnant without the use of IVF. While it is known that some conditions can affect the functioning of the fallopian tubes, there is a lack of research about how fibroids affect the tubes. It is also not known how much about how the process of removing fibroids may affect the fallopian tubes. The investigators hypothesize that tubal occlusion will be observed in patients with fibroids and that the frequency of tubal occlusion will change after myomectomy compared to pre-myomectomy. This study will be conducted entirely during planned surgery for laparoscopic myomectomy. Chromopertubation will be performed at the beginning and again at the end of the surgery. This is expected to take less than 10 minutes in total. The results of the chromopertubation as well as background medical information will be recorded and the characteristics of the fibroids (size, number, and location) will be compared to the presence or abscence of tubal occlusion as determined by chromopertubation.

Dronabinol for Endometriosis

18 - 64
Female
Hosuton, TX
This exploratory, proof-of-concept study is a double-blind (participants and investigators will be blinded), placebo-controlled, randomized, two-arm clinical trial of Marinol \[dronabinol, synthetic Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)\] for e endometriosis-associated chronic pelvic pain (endo-CPP) with a 2:1 allocation ratio. Up to 75 subjects will be enrolled in this pilot study and randomized to receive doses of THC (up to 30 mg/day), orally, over 8 weeks. This study will be conducted at a single site; it does not include any stratifications, and there is no interim analysis planned. Notably, the goal is to determine whether there is enough evidence of the safety of THC to support the development of later-phase clinical trials. Thus, detailed developmental plans are contingent on the outcomes of this study.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to test how well the drug luspatercept works in improving low blood cell counts in people with clonal cytopenias of uncertain significance (CCUS). The main questions the study seeks to answer include: * How many patients experience improvements in their low blood counts (red cells, platelets, or white cells) within 24 weeks, based on specific criteria for blood conditions like myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)? * How long these improvements last before the condition worsens or changes. * The percentage of participants showing improvements at 12, 24, and 48 weeks. * How long it takes for the condition to progress to more severe diseases like myeloid disorders. * How long red blood cell responses last and how quickly these responses are seen. * The average change in hemoglobin levels over 24 weeks. * How many patients need blood transfusions during the study and how soon transfusions are required. * Changes in participants' well-being and energy levels based on a standardized questionnaire. * Monitoring for any side effects, including progression to MDS or leukemia, heart-related issues, or sudden increases in hemoglobin. Participants will: * Receive luspatercept as an injection every three weeks. * Visit the clinic every three weeks for treatment and monitoring.
