Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To determine changes in fat body mass after 12 months Degarelix administration.;Secondary Objective: - to assess changes in lean body mass and bone mineral density after 12 months of therapy; - to assess changes in fasting serum lipids after 12 months of therapy; - to assess changes in bone turn-over markers after 12 months of therapy; - to assess changes in insulin sensitivity after 12 months of therapy; - to assess changes in serum FSH levels after 12 months of therapy; - to correlate changes in serum FSH with changes in body composition. ;Primary end point(s): To compare the mean values (adjusted for baseline T0 values) of changes in fat body mass (after 12 months of therapy, T1) as measured by DXA scan (g/cm2).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12 months | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): - to compare the adjusted T1 mean values of percentage lean mass and lumbar spine mineral density by DXA scan;; - to compare the adjusted T1 mean values of Body Mass Index (Kg/m2);; - to compare the adjusted T1 mean values of total, HDL and LDL cholesterol and triglycerides as measured by standard automatic procedures;; - to compare the adjusted T1 mean values of alkaline phosphatase (AP) measured as units x liter (UI/L);; - to compare the adjusted T1 mean values of whole body insulin sensitivity index and glycosylated haemoglobin;; - to compare the adjusted T1 mean values of serum FSH levels as measured by commercially available kits;; - univariate and multivariate relationship between changes in serum FSH and changes of FBM, LBM and BMD.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 12 month; 12 month; 12 mesi; 12 month; 12 month; 12 month; 12 month | — |
