Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) ResponsePSA measurements were to be performed at screening, at baseline (>2 weeks after screening) and every 3 weeks during the study. Any response was to be confirmed 2-4 weeks after the initial assessment of a 50% fall in PSA from baseline

Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) response was defined as a reduction of at least 50% from baseline at any assessment, confirmed by a second assessment 2-4 weeks after the initial response

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Patients With an Objective Disease Progression EventRECIST tumour assessments carried out at screening and then as per site clinical practice until objective progression. The only additional mandatory tumour assessment visit is at the point of data cut-off (21 July 2007 or up to 7 days in advance of DCO)

Number of patients with objective disease progression or death (by any cause in the absence of objective progression)
