Brief summary

This was an extension study for the study FE200486 CS12 (NCT00819156). Each participant was to be treated until he was discontinued or withdrawn from the study, or a marketing authorization for degarelix had been obtained.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 (including one year in the main study).

Detailed description

Participants who completed the main FE200486 CS12 study initially continued with the same dose in the FE200486 CS12A extension study. After a protocol amendment all study participants were treated with 160 mg (40 mg/mL). The data include data from the participants who participated in both the main study (FE200486 CS12; NCT00819156) and the extension study FE200486 CS12A.

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.

Participant flow

Recruitment details

Participants who completed the main FE200486 CS12 study were asked to continue into the FE200486 CS12A extension study.

Pre-assignment details

189 participants were randomized into the main study CS12 and 147 patients completed CS12. Of these, 137 participants were recruited into the extension study CS12A and 109 participants signed the informed consent for dose shift.
