Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

To assess the percentage of patients with testosterone <=0.5ng/mL.
From Day 28 through Day 84, in men receiving Ozarelix versus Goserelin
Change From Baseline in International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS)
12 weeks

IPSS is a validated self-administered index for grading benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH)-related signs and symptoms. It consists of a set of seven questions. A total score of 1-7 indicates mild disease, 8-19 moderate disease and 20-35 severe disease.

Secondary Endpoints

Percentage change in Prostate-Specific Antigen level
From baseline to day 14 and day 28
International Prostate Symptom Score - Quality of Life (IPSS-QOL)
