Brief summary

The purpose of this extension study was to collect long-term safety and tolerability information to support a marketing authorisation application for a three-month dosage regimen of degarelix.

Detailed description

The data include data from the participants who participated in both the main study FE200486 CS15 (NCT00113753) and the extension study FE200486 CS15A.

Interventions

DRUGDegarelix

Participants who completed the main study initially continued with the same dose in the FE200486 CS15A extension study. A protocol amendment changed the dosage to 360 mg (60 mg/mL) or 480 mg (60 mg/mL). Drug supplied as a powder to be dissolved in the solvent for solution for injection. Degarelix given by subcutaneous injection every 3 months until the end of the study.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants With Markedly Abnormal Values in Vital Signs and Body WeightBaseline and up to 4.5 yearsThis outcome measure included incidence of markedly abnormal values in blood pressure (systolic and diastolic), pulse, and body weight during the trial. The table presents the number of participants with a normal baseline value and at least one post-baseline markedly abnormal value.
Liver Function Tests4.5 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 CS15(NCT00113753) study (except those in US and Canada) were asked to continue into the FE200486 CS15A extension study.

Pre-assignment details

447 participants started and 374 participants completed the main CS15 study. Of these, 278 participants were recruited into the extension study CS15A and 203 participants signed the informed consent for dose shift.
