Brief summary

This was an extension study for the study FE200486 CS14 (NCT00116779). Each participant was to be treated until he was discontinued or withdrawn from the study, or a marketing authorization for degarelix had been obtained. The study was terminated when all ongoing participants had been treated for at least 5 years.

Detailed description

Participants who completed the main FE200486 CS14 study initially continued with the same dose in the FE200486 CS14A extension study. A protocol amendment changed the dosage to 160 mg (40 mg/mL) for all study participants. The data include data from the participants who participated in both the main study (FE200486 CS14; NCT00116779) and the extension study FE200486 CS14A.

Interventions

DRUGDegarelix

Drug supplied as a powder to be dissolved in the solvent for solution for injection. Degarelix given by subcutaneous injection every 28 days until the end of the study.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Participants With Markedly Abnormal Change in Vital Signs and Body Weight5 yearsThis outcome measure included incidence of markedly abnormal changes in blood pressure (systolic and diastolic), pulse, and body weight at the end of trial as compared to baseline. The table presents the number of participants in each group with normal baseline and markedly abnormal value post-baseline.
Liver Function Tests5 yearsThe 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.

Participant flow

Recruitment details

Participants who completed the main FE200486 CS14 study were asked to continue into the FE200486 CS14A extension study.

Pre-assignment details

127 participants started and 87 participants completed the main CS14 study. Of these, 57 participants were recruited into the extension study CS14A and 34 participants signed the informed consent for dose shift.

Degarelix (60 mg to 160 mg)
Participants who completed the CS14 study in the Degarelix 60 mg (20 mg/mL) arm continued that dose into the CS14A extension study. A protocol amendment in March 2006 changed the dosage to 160 mg (40 mg/mL) for all study participants.
