Arm Description

The degarelix doses were administered into the abdominal wall every 28 days. A starting dose of 240 mg (40 mg/mL) degarelix was administered on Day 0 as two 3 mL subcutaneous (s.c.) injections. The subsequent doses of 80 mg (20 mg/mL) degarelix were administered as single 4 mL s.c. injections every 28 days for the rest of the study.

The degarelix doses were administered into the abdominal wall every 28 days. A starting dose of 240 mg (40 mg/mL) degarelix was administered on Day 0 as two 3 mL subcutaneous (s.c.) injections. The subsequent monthly degarelix maintenance dose of 160 mg (40 mg/mL) degarelix were administered as single 4 mL s.c. injections every 28 days. Following the implementation of a protocol amendment, all patients received a monthly degarelix maintenance dose of 80 mg (20 mg/mL) for the rest of the study.

During the main CS21 study, leuprolide (Lupron Depot) 7.5 mg was injected into the muscle every 28 days for one year. Starting one year after the first dose of leuprolide, degarelix doses were administered into the abdominal wall every 28 days. First, a starting dose of 240 mg (40 mg/mL) degarelix was administered as two 3 mL subcutaneous (s.c.) injections and one month later the participants received either subsequent monthly degarelix maintenance doses of 80 mg (20 mg/mL) or 160 mg (40 mg/mL) every 28 days for the rest of the study. Following the implementation of a protocol amendment, all patients received a monthly degarelix maintenance dose of 80 mg (20 mg/mL) for the rest of the study.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Number of Participants With Markedly Abnormal Values in Vital Signs and Body Weight
This outcome measure included incidence of markedly abnormal changes in blood pressure (systolic and diastolic), pulse, and body weight. The table presents the number of participants with normal baseline (from main CS21 study, NCT00295750) and at least one post-baseline markedly abnormal value during CS21A.
Number of Participants With Markedly Abnormal Values in Safety Laboratory Variables
This outcome measure included incidence of markedly abnormal changes in safety laboratory values. The table presents the number of participants with normal baseline (from main CS21 trial, NCT00295750) and at least one post-baseline markedly abnormal value during CS21A. Only the laboratory variables that had at least five percentages of participants in either group with abnormal value are presented, more variables were included in the study. ULN=Upper limit of normal.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Percentage of Participants With no Prostate-specific Antigen (PSA) Progression
PSA progression was defined as two consecutive increases of 50%, and at least 5 ng/mL, compared to nadir (obtained in either CS21, NCT00295750, or CS21A). The figures below present the percentage of participants with no PSA progression at each of the selected time points (there were more time points in the study) along with corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CI).
Percentage of Participants With Testosterone Level Maintained at <=0.5 ng/mL From Day 28 in CS21 and Onwards
The results below present the percentage of participants of having testosterone <=0.5 ng/mL at each of the selected time points (there were more time points in the study) from Day 28 in CS21 (NCT00295750) until the end of the CS21A study. In all treatment groups approximately 3% per year of the participants had at least one testosterone >0.5 ng/mL during the study.
Serum Levels of Testosterone From the Time of Switch From Leuprolide to Degarelix up to Day 56
Serum Levels of PSA From the Time of Switch From Leuprolide to Degarelix to Day 56
Serum Levels of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) From the Time of Switch From Leuprolide to Degarelix to Day 56
Serum Levels of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH) From the Time of Switch From Leuprolide to Degarelix to Day 56
