Outcomes
Percentage of Participants Who Maintained Castrate Levels of Serum Testosterone During the Study
Time frame · Up to Day 337
Blood samples were collected for the measurement of serum testosterone concentrations using a validated, specific and sensitive liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method. Maintenance of castration during the study was defined as testosterone \<1.735 nanomoles per liter (nmol/L) (\<50 nanograms/deciliter \[ng/dL\]) at Days 29, 85, 141, 169, 253, 309 and 337.
Percentage of Participants Castrated on Days 29, 85, 141, 169, 253, 309 and 337
Time frame · Days 29, 85, 141, 169, 253, 309 and 337
Blood samples were collected for the measurement of serum testosterone concentrations using a validated, specific and sensitive liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method. Castration was defined as testosterone \<1.735 nmol/L (\<50 ng/dL).
Percentage of Participants With a Serum Testosterone Level <0.694 Nmol/L (<20 ng/dL) During the Study
Time frame · Up to Day 337
Blood samples were collected for the measurement of serum testosterone concentrations using a validated, specific and sensitive liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method.
Percentage of Participants With a Serum Testosterone Level <0.694 Nmol/L (<20 ng/dL) on Days 29, 85, 141, 169, 253, 309 and 337
Time frame · Days 29, 85, 141, 169, 253, 309 and 337
Blood samples were collected for the measurement of serum testosterone concentrations using a validated, specific and sensitive liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method.
Percentage of Participants Castrated on Days 3 and 7 After Each Injection Administered on Days 1 and 169
Time frame · On Days 3, 7, 171, and 175
Blood samples were collected for the measurement of serum testosterone concentrations using a validated, specific and sensitive liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method. Castration was defined as testosterone \<1.735 nmol/L (\<50 ng/dL).
Percent Change From Baseline in Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) at Days 169 and 337
Time frame · Baseline (prior to injection on Day 1), Days 169 and 337
Blood samples were collected for the measurement of plasma PSA concentrations. Percent change in PSA was defined as the absolute value of the difference between the PSA values at Days 169 and 337 and the baseline value divided by the baseline value. The baseline value was the last sample prior to the first injection.
Number of Participants With Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and TEAEs of Local Intolerance
Time frame · From first dose of study treatment (Day 1) up to end of study visit (Day 337)
An adverse event (AE) was any untoward medical occurrence in clinical study participant, temporally associated with use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to study treatment. TEAEs were AEs that started or worsened on or after the first study treatment administration and within 168 days after the last dose of study treatment, or up to Day 337, whichever was later. Local tolerance was assessed 2 hours after each injection by examination of injection site for signs such as but not limited to tenderness, redness, bruising, erythema, swelling, rash, pain, itching, induration, hematoma, ulceration or necrosis.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria : * Participant is male and must be 18 years of age inclusive, at the time of signing the informed consent * Participant has histologically or cytologically proven prostate cancer with rising PSA after failed local therapy or metastatic disease, or requiring radiotherapy, and be a candidate for long-term (i.e. \>1 year) androgen deprivation therapy * Participant requires a GnRH analogue treatment for a minimum of 18 months, of which a minimum of 3 months of GnRH analogue treatment has already been provided prior to screening. (Note: participants must receive study intervention on Day 1 in accordance with the treatment schedule of their previously received GnRH analogue therapy). * Has serum testosterone levels \<1.735 nmol/L (50 ng/dL) at screening * Has Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0 to 1 * Has a life expectancy of \>18 months * Male participants must agree that, if their partner is at risk of becoming pregnant (although highly unlikely in this study population), they will use an effective method of contraception. The participant must agree to use the contraception during the whole of the study and for 9 months after the last dose of study intervention * Capable of giving signed informed consent which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and in the protocol Exclusion Criteria : * Presence of another neoplastic lesion or brain metastases * Metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer with high tumour burden * Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer * Any concomitant disorder or resulting therapy that is likely to interfere with participant compliance or with the study in the opinion of the investigator * Use of finasteride (Proscar®) or dutasteride (Avodart®/Avolve®) within the past 6 months * Planned intermittent scheme of GnRH analogue * At the time of screening, planned use of any chemotherapy for prostate cancer during the study * Prior hypophysectomy or adrenalectomy * Participation in another study with an experimental drug within 3 months before signing informed consent or within five half-lives of the investigational drug (whichever was the longer), or any other type of medical research * Severe kidney or liver failure (creatinine \>2 times the normal range, aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase \>3 times the normal range) * Any concomitant disorder or resulting therapy that is likely to interfere with participant's compliance, the subcutaneous administration of the drug or with the study in the opinion of the investigator * Previous history of QT prolongation or concomitant use of medicinal products known to prolong the QT interval or with a known risk of torsades de pointes * Known hypersensitivity to triptorelin or any of its excipients, GnRH, other GnRH agonist/analogues * Known active use of recreational drug or alcohol dependence in the opinion of the investigator * Inability to give informed consent or to comply fully with the protocol
