Brief summary

Patients that completed any of the trials; CS27 (NCT00738673), CS28 (NCT00831233), CS30 (NCT00833248) or CS31 (NCT00884273) will be given the opportunity to receive monthly doses of degarelix until the drug is launched in their country. Safety parameters such as electrocardiogram (ECG), blood and urine samples and general health state will be studied. Note: patients completing the CS27 trial did not participate in the CS34 trial.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants With Markedly Abnormal Values in Safety Laboratory VariablesUp to 22.5 monthsThe figures present the number of participants who had markedly abnormal levels of safety laboratory variables. Only the laboratory variables that had at least one percentage of participants in either group with abnormal value are presented, more variables were included in the study.
Number of Participants With Markedly Abnormal Values in Vital Signs and Body WeightUp to 22.5 monthsThis 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 and at least one post-baseline markedly abnormal value.

Recruitment details

The patients were recruited from 16 sites in Belgium, France, Italy, Spain, Sweden and Turkey. The study was conducted between 31 August 2009 (FPFV) and 29 November 2011 (LPLV).

Participants by arm

ArmCount
Degarelix
The degarelix doses were administered into the abdominal wall every 28 days. For patients treated with goserelin in the previous trials (CS28, CS30 and CS31),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 maintenance of 80 mg (20 mg/mL) degarelix were administered as single 4 mL s.c. injections at 28 day intervals from day 28 to the end of the trial. For patients treated with degarelix in the previous trials, maintenance doses of 80 mg (20 mg/mL) degarelix were continued and were administered as single 4 mL s.c. injections at 28 day intervals to the end of the trial.
