Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants With Markedly Abnormal Values in Vital Signs and Body WeightUp to 4 years of treatmentThis outcome measure included incidence of markedly abnormal changes in blood pressure (systolic and diastolic), pulse, and body weight. The table presents the number of participants with normal baseline (from main CS21 study, NCT00295750) and at least one post-baseline markedly abnormal value during CS21A.
Number of Participants With Markedly Abnormal Values in Safety Laboratory VariablesUp to 4 years of treatmentThis outcome measure included incidence of markedly abnormal changes in safety laboratory values. The table presents the number of participants with normal baseline (from main CS21 trial, NCT00295750) and at least one post-baseline markedly abnormal value during CS21A. Only the laboratory variables that had at least five percentages of participants in either group with abnormal value are presented, more variables were included in the study. ULN=Upper limit of normal.

Percentage of Participants With no Prostate-specific Antigen (PSA) ProgressionUntil all participants have received at least 5 years of treatment and at a frequency of every 3 monthsPSA progression was defined as two consecutive increases of 50%, and at least 5 ng/mL, compared to nadir (obtained in either CS21, NCT00295750, or CS21A).

Participant flow

Recruitment details

All participants who completed the CS21 study (NCT00295750) were eligible to enrol into the CS21A extension study. Since the number of participants who completed this long-term study was low, no firm conclusions can be drawn from the results.

Pre-assignment details

Initially, participants treated with degarelix during CS21 continued to treatment and patients who received treatment with leuprolide during CS21 were re-randomised to one of the two degarelix treatment regimens. Following a protocol amendment, all patients received a monthly degarelix maintenance dose of 80 mg for the rest of the study.

Participants by arm

ArmCount
Degarelix 80 mg / Degarelix 80 mg
The degarelix doses were administered into the abdominal wall every 28 days. A starting dose of 240 mg (40 mg/mL) degarelix was administered on Day 0 as two 3 mL subcutaneous (s.c.) injections. The subsequent doses of 80 mg (20 mg/mL) degarelix were administered as single 4 mL s.c. injections every 28 days for the rest of the study.
125
Degarelix 160 mg / Degarelix 160 mg
The degarelix doses were administered into the abdominal wall every 28 days. A starting dose of 240 mg (40 mg/mL) degarelix was administered on Day 0 as two 3 mL subcutaneous (s.c.) injections. The subsequent monthly degarelix maintenance dose of 160 mg (40 mg/mL) degarelix were administered as single 4 mL s.c. injections every 28 days. Following the implementation of a protocol amendment, all patients received a monthly degarelix maintenance dose of 80 mg (20 mg/mL) for the rest of the study.
126
Leuprolide 7.5 mg / Degarelix 80 mg
During the main CS21 study, leuprolide (Lupron Depot) 7.5 mg was injected into the muscle every 28 days for one year. Starting one year after the first dose of leuprolide, degarelix doses were administered into the abdominal wall every 28 days. First, a starting dose of 240 mg (40 mg/mL) degarelix was administered as two 3 mL subcutaneous (s.c.) injections and one month later the participants received either subsequent monthly degarelix maintenance doses of 80 mg (20 mg/mL) or 160 mg (40 mg/mL) every 28 days for the rest of the study. Following the implementation of a protocol amendment, all patients received a monthly degarelix maintenance dose of 80 mg (20 mg/mL) for the rest of the study.
