|---|---|
| Main Objective: to assess the duration of action of an initial "loading" dose regimen of Teverelix LA in terms of suppression of testosterone to below castrate level (0.5 ng/ml);Primary end point(s): suppression of testosterone to castrate level (< 0.5 ng/ml);Secondary Objective: • to assess the pharmacodynamics of teverelix in terms of ability to suppress and to maintain plasma testosterone levels below castration level (< 0.5ng/ml) until (after week 3) 2 consecutive, increasing T levels above castration level with the latter one above 2 ng/ml, have been recorded. • to assess the effects on Luteinizing Hormone (LH) • to assess the effects on Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) • to assess the safety of Teverelix LA in terms of : o local tolerability and o systemic tolerability (adverse events and changes in laboratory parameters) | — |
