Testing the Effects of Oxybutynin for the Treatment of Hot Flashes in Men Receiving Hormone Therapy for Prostate Cancer

Summary

This phase II trial compares the effect of oxybutynin versus placebo for reducing hot flashes in men receiving androgen deprivation (hormone) therapy for the treatment of prostate cancer . Androgen deprivation therapy decreases testosterone and other androgens through medications or surgical removal of the testicles. Relative to placebo, low- or high-dose oxybutynin may reduce hot flashes in men receiving androgen deprivation therapy.
