Brief summary

To investigate the long-term safety and tolerability of repeated doses of degarelix to prostate cancer patients

Detailed description

Degarelix was not FDA regulated at the time of the trial. After completion of the trial degarelix has been approved by the FDA and is thus an FDA regulated intervention (FDA regulated intervention is therefore ticked YES). The data include participants from both the main study (FE200486 CS02; NCT00819247) and the extension study FE200486 CS02A.

Interventions

Given as a subcutaneous injection once every 4 weeks.

Participants With Markedly Abnormal Change in Vital Signs and Body Weight3 yearsVital signs and body weight 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 patients in each group with normal baseline and markedly abnormal value post-baseline.

Recruitment details

Participants who responded to degarelix in FE200486 CS02 (NCT00819247) were eligible to enroll into this extension study with the intention of continuing treatment until degarelix became commercially available in the UK or until the study was discontinued.
