Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Patients With Testosterone <=0.5ng/mL From Day 28 Through Day 36412 months

Kaplan-Maier estimates of the cumulative probabilities of testosterone \<=0.5 ng/mL from Day 28 to Day 364. The degarelix response rate estimation determined whether the lower bound of the 95% confidence interval for the cumulative probability of testosterone \<=0.5 ng/mL from Day 28 to Day 364 was no lower than 90%.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Patients With Testosterone Surge During the First Two Weeks of Treatment2 weeks

A patient was defined as having a testosterone surge if the testosterone level exceeded baseline by \>=15% on any two days during the first two weeks of treatment (i.e. two of Study Days 1, 3, 7 and 14).

Percentage of Patients With Testosterone Level <=0.5 ng/mL at Day 33 days

This outcome measure presents the testosterone levels 3 days after the initial dose of trial medication.

Frequency and Size of Testosterone Changes at Day 255 and/or Day 259 Compared to the Testosterone Level at Day 252Day 252, Day 255, and Day 259

Testosterone increases on Day 255 and/or on Day 259 (highest value of Day 255 and Day 259 was used) were compared with Day 252 values. Patients were categorised with shifts of \<=-0.25, \>-0.25-0, \>0-0.25, \>0.25-0.5 and \>0.5 ng/mL from mean testosterone levels on Day 252.

Percentage Change in Prostate-specific Antigen From Baseline to Day 14 and Day 28Days 14 and 28

Percentage change from Baseline to Day 14 and Day 28 in prostate-specific antigen, which is a clinically important biological marker for treatment effect and prostate cancer progression.

Participants Grouped by Time to Prostate-specific Antigen Failure12 months

The time to prostate specific antigen failure was defined as the days from first dosing (scheduled dosing days) where an increase in serum prostate specific antigen of ≥50% from nadir and a least 5 ng/mL measured on two consecutive occasions at least two weeks apart was noted.

Participants With Markedly Abnormal Change in Laboratory Variables (>=20 Percent of Patients)Baseline to Day 364

Criteria for lab values changes from baseline to the end of the study considered markedly abnormal were set for each lab test. If 20% of patients reached that value, the results were reported.

The Mean Value of QTc Interval as Measured by Electrocardiogram12 months

The QTc interval results are calculated with Fridericia's correction. QTc intervals are a standard evaluation of an electrocardiogram and help measure the risk of developing ventricular arrhythmias.

Participants With Markedly Abnormal Change in Vital Signs and Body Weight12 months

Vital signs and body weight included incidence of markedly abnormal changes from baseline to the end of the study 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.
