Interventions 1. Group A: Castration, medical or surgical
2. Group B: Casodex (bicalutamide) taken orally. Cohorts of patients were recruited sequentially, into each arm of the randomised stages, to determine the maximum well tolerated dose. The first cohort of patients received 300 mg Casodex, then patients were randomised to 300 mg Casodex versus castration, then 450 mg Casodex versus castration, then 600 mg Casodex versus 450 mg Casodex versus castration. The trial was stopped at 600 mg Casodex.
