Study summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy and safety of relugolix 120 milligrams (mg) orally once daily for 48 weeks on maintaining serum testosterone suppression to castrate levels (\< 50 nanograms/deciliter [ng/dL]) in participants with androgen-sensitive advanced prostate cancer.

Read the detailed description

This is a phase 3, multinational, randomized, open-label, parallel group study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of oral daily relugolix 120 mg in participants with androgen-sensitive advanced prostate cancer who require at least 1 year of continuous androgen-deprivation therapy. Relugolix 120 mg orally once daily or leuprolide acetate depot suspension, 22.5 mg (or 11.25 mg in Japan and Taiwan based on local labels), every 3 months by subcutaneous injection will be administered to participants.

There are 2 analyses for this study, a primary analysis and a final analysis.

Primary Analysis:

The primary analysis of efficacy and safety has been completed (N=934). Participants were randomized 2:1 to receive relugolix or leuprolide for 48 weeks, followed by a 30-day safety follow-up visit or early termination 30-day safety follow-up.

Final Analysis:

The final analysis will occur after additional participants with metastatic disease (approximately 130) have been enrolled and randomized from any sites to the study, and have completed the 48-week treatment period. A cohort of participants enrolled in China and Taiwan will be analyzed separately once they have completed treatment to support registration in China.

Eligible participants were randomized 2:1 to relugolix or leuprolide arm and will attend visits monthly (every 4 weeks) where serum testosterone and prostate-specific antigen will be assessed. Safety will be assessed throughout the study by monitoring adverse events, vital signs, physical examinations, clinical laboratory tests, and 12-lead electrocardiograms.

Castration resistance-free survival will be assessed up to Week 49, Day 1 of the study and reported as part of the final analysis.

The study enrolled 1134 participants, including 139 participants with metastatic advanced prostate cancer to support the analysis of the secondary endpoint of castration resistance-free survival and 93 Chinese participants (enrolled in China and Taiwan) to support registration in China.

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Has or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of adenocarcinoma of the prostate.
  2. Is a candidate for, in the opinion of the investigator, at least 1 year of continuous androgen deprivation therapy for the management of androgen-sensitive advanced prostate cancer with 1 of the following clinical disease state presentations:

    1. Evidence of biochemical (PSA) or clinical relapse following local primary intervention with curative intent, such as surgery, radiation therapy, cryotherapy, or high-frequency ultrasound and not a candidate for salvage treatment by surgery; or
    2. Newly diagnosed androgen-sensitive disease; or
    3. Advanced localized disease unlikely to be cured by local primary intervention with either surgery or radiation with curative intent.
  3. Has a serum testosterone at the Screening visit of ≥ 150 ng/dL (5.2 nanomoles [nmol]/liter [L]).
  4. Has a serum PSA concentration at the Screening visit of > 2.0 ng/milliliter (mL) (2.0 microgram [μg]/L), or, when applicable, post radical prostatectomy of > 0.2 ng/mL (0.2 μg/L) or post radiotherapy, cryotherapy, or high frequency ultrasound > 2.0 ng/mL (2.0 μg/L) above the post interventional nadir.

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.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).

Your pathology report is the document that shows this.

Metastases

Cancer that has spread from where it began to other parts of the body. “Metastatic” cancer is cancer that has spread this way.

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.

PSA progression was defined as the first increase in PSA of 25% or greater and 2 ng/mL or greater above the nadir with confirmation by a second consecutive PSA measurement at least 3 weeks later. For participants without declining PSA from baseline, a PSA increase of ≥ 25% and ≥ 2 ng/mL from baseline beyond 12 weeks was considered PSA progression.

SecondaryChange From Baseline In Quality Of Life (QoL) Total Score As Assessed By The Global Health Domain Of The European Organisation Of Research And Treatment Of Cancer (EORTC)-Quality Of Life Questionnaire (QLQ)-C30

The EORTC QLQ-C30 core measurement was used to capture distal outcomes, including physical, social functioning, and overall health-related quality of life. The questionnaire incorporates 30 questions comprising nine multi-item scales: 5 functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social); 3 symptom scales (fatigue, pain, and nausea and vomiting); and a global health and quality of life scale. All raw domain scores are linearly transformed to a 0-100 scale. The global health and quality of life domain is presented. An increase in activity or functioning scores indicates improvement (higher/healthier level of functioning) and a decrease in symptom scores indicates improvement (lower level of symptoms/problems).

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Ran from Apr 2017 to primary completion in Oct 2019, 30 months.

Results were first posted in Mar 2021, 1 year 5 months after primary completion. A results delay was requested in Oct 2020.

Of 126 industry-sponsored phase 3 interventional studies under Prostatic Neoplasms, half reached primary completion within 38 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 23 and three quarters within 53. This study's 30 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 265 studies reached it within 57 months; a quarter within 31 and three quarters within 100.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

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 Jan 18, 2022, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
