Summary

A phase III extension trial comparing the efficacy and safety of degarelix 3 month depot with the established therapy Zoladex 3 month implant in patients with prostate cancer.

Detailed description

CS35A was an open-label, multicentre, comparative non-inferiority extension trial to the Phase 3 CS35 trial (NCT00946920). In the main CS35 trial, participants were randomised 2:1 to treatment with degarelix or goserelin, respectively. All participants who completed the main CS35 trial after initiation of the CS35A trial were eligible to enrol into this extension trial, provided that their treatment could continue uninterrupted. Patients entering the CS35A trial continued with the same 3-monthly treatment as they received in CS35 (i.e. degarelix 480 mg or goserelin 10.8 mg). It was intended that patients enrolled in the CS35A trial would receive treatment with degarelix or goserelin at 3-month intervals for a period of 40 months (including 13 months' treatment in CS35). It was, however, decided to prematurely terminate the CS35A trial due to an insufficient number of patients being enrolled. Maximum exposure of treatment was 111 weeks (in both treatment arms). The baseline characteristics are based on the CS35A Full Analysis Set (FAS)defined as all participants who received at least one dose of degarelix or goserelin acetate during CS35A and had at least one efficacy assessment after dosing. All efficacy analyses were performed for the CS35/CS35A FAS defined as all participants who received at least one dose of degarelix or goserelin acetate during CS35 and had at least one efficacy assessment after dosing. All safety analyses were performed for the CS35/CS35A Safety analysis set, which included all patients who received at least one dose of degarelix or goserelin acetate during CS35.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DRUG	Degarelix	The degarelix doses were administered by subcutaneous (s.c.) injections into the abdominal wall. In the main CS35 trial, a starting dose of 240 mg degarelix was administered on Day 0. One month later a maintenance dose of 480 mg was administered. This was repeated after 4, 7, and 10 months (ie a total of 5 administrations in the main trial). In the CS35A extension trial, the participants received the same treatment as in the main trial ie the degarelix treated participants continued to receive degarelix 480 mg s.c. treatment every three months.
DRUG	Goserelin acetate	The goserelin doses were administered by subcutaneous (s.c.) implants into the abdominal wall. In the main CS35 trial, an initial dose of 3.6 mg goserelin was administered on Day 0. One month later a subsequent dose of 10.8 mg was administered and this was repeated after 4, 7, and 10 months (ie a total of 5 implants in the main trial). In the CS35A extension trial, the participants received the same treatment as in the main trial ie the goserelin treated participants continued to receive goserelin acetate 10.8 mg s.c. implants every three months.
