Intermittent Treatment With Degarelix of Patients Suffering From Prostate Cancer
September 2, 2014 updated by: Ferring Pharmaceuticals
An Open-Label, Multi-Centre, Uncontrolled, Trial Investigating Degarelix One-Month Dosing Regimen Administered as Intermittent Androgen Deprivation (IAD) for One or More Cycles in Patients With Prostate Cancer Requiring Androgen Deprivation Therapy
The purpose of this uncontrolled, multi-center, open-label trial was to investigate the feasibility of using degarelix as intermittent androgen deprivation (IAD) therapy in the treatment of prostate cancer.
Study Overview
Detailed Description
The participants received one or more treatment cycles of seven monthly degarelix doses during the induction period(s).
The off-treatment period(s) started when prostate-specific antigen (PSA) ≤4 ng/mL and lasted up to 24 months based on PSA levels.
A visit was scheduled on a monthly basis during the induction treatment periods, and every two months during the off-treatment periods.
During the off-treatment periods, degarelix treatment was re-initiated when PSA >4 ng/mL.
The maximum of degarelix IAD treatment cycles that a participant could receive was limited to three.

- Has any clinically significant laboratory abnormalities which in the judgment of the investigator would affect the patient's health or the outcome of the trial.
- Has a clinically significant disorder (other than prostate cancer) including but not limited to renal, haematological, gastrointestinal, endocrine, cardiac, neurological, or psychiatric disease, and alcohol or drug abuse or any other condition, which may affect the patient's health or the outcome of the trial as judged by the investigator.
- Has severe kidney failure (creatinine clearance <30 mL/min), based on the serum creatinine value at Screening Visit and calculated by Cockcroft-Gault algorithm (only valid in France).
- Has a mental incapacity or language barriers precluding adequate understanding or co operation.
- Has received an investigational drug within the last 28 days preceding Screening Visit or longer if considered to possibly influence the outcome of the current trial.

Quality of Life, as Assessed by the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire-Prostate Module (EORTC QLQ-PR25), During the Induction Treatment and Off-treatment Periods During the First Cycle of IAD
Time Frame: Up to 31 months
|
The EORTC QLQ-PR25 employs a modular approach towards assessing cancer patients´ health-related Quality of Life (QoL) and assesses urinary, bowel, and sexual symptoms and functioning, and the side-effects of hormonal treatment.
It consists of 25 questions distributed on six domains (number of items per domain, ranges from x to y: urinary symptoms (8, 0-100), bother due to use of incontinence aid (1, 0-100), bowel symptoms (4, 0-100), hormonal treatment-related symptoms (6, 0-100), sexual activity (2, 0-100), and sexual functioning (4, 0-100).
All raw domain scores are linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale, with higher scores reflecting either more symptoms (urinary, bowel, hormonal treatment-related symptoms) or higher levels of activity or functioning (sexual).

Up to 31 months
|
Sexual Function, as Assessed by the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF) Scale, During the Induction Treatment and Off-treatment Periods During the First Cycle of IAD
Time Frame: Up to 31 months
|
The IIEF scale addresses the relevant domains of male sexual function (i.e.
erectile function, orgasmic function, sexual desire, intercourse satisfaction and overall satisfaction).
The IIEF scale is psychometrically sound, and has been linguistically validated in multiple languages.
The IIEF scale demonstrates the sensitivity and specificity for detecting treatment-related changes in patients with erectile dysfunction.
It consists of the following domains (number of items per domain; ranges from x to y: erectile function (6; 1-30), orgasmic function (2; 0-10), sexual desire (2; 2-10), intercourse satisfaction (3; 0-15) and overall satisfaction (2; 2-10).
For all domains, a higher score represents a better sexual function.
