Evidence of brain metastases, taking into account medical history, clinical observations and symptoms; evidence of spinal cord compression, taking into account medical history, clinical observations and symptoms; evidence of severe urinary tract obstruction with threatening urinary retention, taking into account medical history, clinical observations and symptoms; presence of any tumour in the immediate vicinity which could cause cord compression; severe pain from extensive osseous deposits, taking into account medical history, clinical observations and symptoms; testosterone levels less than 1.5 ng/mL at screening, locally determined at the laboratory of each clinical site; previous cancer systemic therapy such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy (e.g. antibody therapies, tumour-vaccines), biological response modifiers (e.g. cytokines) within 3 months of baseline; previous hormonal therapy for treatment of prostate cancer, such as LHRH analogues (no wash-out allowed); previous treatment with androgen receptor blockers, such as Casodex®, Fugerel®, Megace®, Androcur® (no wash-out allowed); previous orchiectomy, adrenalectomy or hypophysectomy; previous prostatic surgery within 2 weeks of baseline; previous local therapy to the primary tumour with a curative attempt other than surgery within 2 weeks of baseline; any investigational drug within 5 half-lives of its pharmacological action or 3 months, whichever is longer, before baseline; administration of 5-?-reductase inhibitors within 3 months before baseline; OTC or alternative medical therapies which have an estrogenic or anti-androgenic effect within the 3 months before baseline; haematological parameters outside 20% of the upper or lower limits of normal for the clinical laboratory at screening;
co-existent malignancy other than prostate cancer; uncontrolled congestive heart failure, myocardial infarction or a coronary vascular procedure or significant symptomatic cardiovascular disease(s) within 6 months before baseline; resting uncontrolled hypertension: (? 160/100 mmHg) or symptomatic hypotension within 3 months before baseline; venous thrombosis within 6 months of baseline;
