Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Men ≥40 and ≤85 years of age
  • Histological or cytological proven adenocarcinoma of the prostate requiring hormone therapy
  • over 12 months
  • World Health Organisation/ The (WHO/ECOG) performance status of 0, 1 or 2
  • Adequate and stable renal function
  • Adequate and stable hepatic function

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Evidence of , spinal cord compression, or urinary tract obstruction
  • Serum Testosterone levels below 150 ng/dL at Screening visit
  • Medical or radiological prostate cancer treatments within 2 months prior to the Screening visit
  • Surgical treatment of prostate cancer within 2 weeks prior to the Screening visit
  • Prior orchiectomy, hypophysectomy, or adrenalectomy
  • Prior use of LHRH agonists within 12 months prior to the Screening visit and during the study
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Life expectancy

The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Brain metastases

Cancer deposits in the brain from a cancer that started elsewhere in the body (CNS metastases include the spinal cord).

Studies differ: some leave out any brain metastases, some accept ones treated and stable for some weeks. Check what this study allows.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Observed Maximum Serum Leuprolide Concentration (Cmax) for Dose 1 and Dose 3

    Blood samples for analysis of serum leuprolide concentrations were collected at pre-determined time points throughout the trial (with full PK profiles after Dose 1 and Dose 3). The PK parameter, Cmax was derived for Doses 1 and 3 of the investigational medicinal product (IMP).

    Time frame: 84 days

  2. Apparent Terminal Half-life (t½) for Dose 1 and Dose 3

    Blood samples for analysis of serum leuprolide concentrations were collected at pre-determined time points throughout the trial (with full PK profiles after Dose 1 and Dose 3). The PK parameter, t1/2 was derived for Doses 1 and 3 of the IMP.

    Time frame: Days 0-28 and Days 56-84

  3. Area Under the Serum Concentration-time Curve (AUC) Over the Dosing Interval (AUCtau) for Dose 1 and Dose 3

    Blood samples for analysis of serum leuprolide concentrations were collected at pre-determined time points throughout the trial (with full PK profiles after Dose 1 and Dose 3). The PK parameter, AUCtau was derived for Doses 1 and 3 of the IMP.

    Time frame: Days 0-28 and Days 56-84 (0-672 hours after Doses 1 and 3)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time (Days) to Testosterone Recovery After Dose 3

    The pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of leuprolide were assessed by measuring serum testosterone during the trial. Time to testosterone recovery after last dose of the IMP. Blood samples for analyses of serum testosterone concentrations were collected at Screening and on Days 0 to 126.

    Time frame: Days 56-126

  2. Profiles of Testesterone Concentration (ng/dL) Following Injections of the Investigational Medicinal Product (IMP)

    The PD effects of leuprolide were assessed by measuring serum testosterone concentrations during the trial. The following PD variable was analyzed: The profiles of testosterone concentration (ng/dL) following injections of the IMP. Blood samples for analyses of serum testosterone concentrations were collected at Screening and on Days 0 to 126.

    Time frame: Days 0-126

  3. Mean Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Concentration

    The PD effects of leuprolide were assessed by measuring serum PSA concentrations during the trial. The following PD variable was analyzed: PSA (ng/mL) response to IMP. Blood samples for analyses of plasma PSA concentrations were collected at Screening and on Days 0 to 126.

    Time frame: Days 0-126

The record gives a start of Sep 2014, a primary completion of Nov 2015 and a completion of Mar 2016. It does not say whether these dates are actual or estimated.

Results were first posted in Feb 2017, 1 year 3 months after primary completion.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Apr 25, 2017, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
