Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The Firmagon® safety profile will be evaluated during the treatment period by the following parameters: � Frequency of adverse events [Time Frame: Up to Day 364] � Severity of adverse events [Time Frame: Up to Day 364] � Clinically significant changes in laboratory values (hematology and clinical biochemistry) [Time Frame: From baseline to Day 364] � Clinically significant changes in vital signs [Time Frame: From baseline to Day 364]Timepoint: Up to Day 364/From baseline to Day 364

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The Firmagon® efficacy profile will be evaluated during the treatment period by the following parameters: � Cumulative probability of no Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) failure [Time Frame: Up to Day 364] � Cumulative probability of Progression Free Survival (PFS) [Time Frame: Up to Day 364] � Change in International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) [Time Frame: From baseline to Day 364] � Change in physicians satisfaction score [Time Frame: From baseline to Day 364] Timepoint: Up to Day 364/From baseline to Day 364
