Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Degarelix 240/240@40(1-3-6-9)

Participants in this arm who completed the main study continued with the same dose (240 mg (40 mg/mL) starting dose and 240 mg (40 mg/mL) at months 1, 3, 6, and 9) in the extension study (240 mg (40 mg/mL) every three months). A protocol amendment in June 2006 changed the dosage to 360 mg or 480 mg (60 mg/mL).

Drug: Degarelix
Participants who completed the main study initially continued with the same dose in the FE200486 CS15A extension study. A protocol amendment changed the dosage to 360 mg (60 mg/mL) or 480 mg (60 mg/mL). Drug supplied as a powder to be dissolved in the solvent for solution for injection. Degarelix given by subcutaneous injection every 3 months until the end of the study.

  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Number of Participants With Markedly Abnormal Values in Vital Signs and Body Weight [Baseline and up to 4.5 years]

      This outcome measure included incidence of markedly abnormal values in blood pressure (systolic and diastolic), pulse, and body weight during the trial. The table presents the number of participants with a normal baseline value and at least one post-baseline markedly abnormal value.

    2. Liver Function Tests [4.5 years]

      The figures present the number of participants who had abnormal (defined as above upper limit of normal range (ULN)) alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, aspartate aminotransferase levels, and bilirubin levels plus the number of participants who had ALT increases >3x ULN and ALT increases >3x ULN with concurrently increased bilirubin >1.5 ULN.
