Trial Outcomes & Findings for Efficacy and Safety of Leuprolide Acetate 22.5 mg Depot in Treatment of Prostate Cancer (NCT NCT01415960)

NCT ID: NCT01415960

Last Updated: 2017-03-03

Results Overview

The primary endpoint was testosterone ≤ 0.5 ng/mL assessed on Days 28, 84, and 168. Thereby, maintenance of castration was to be demonstrated through Day 168 with no missing data at these key time points, unless the missing data were due to an event unrelated to the study drug (ITT patients).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 168 days

For purposes of calculating summary statistics, any concentration values Below Limit of Quantification (BLQ) were to be assigned ½ the Low Limit of Quantification (LLOQ) (LLOQ=2.00). If the calculated mean, median or minimum value at a time point was less than LLOQ, "BLQ" is presented. In addition, since a high proportion of BLQ values may affect the Standard Deviation (SD); if more than 50% of values were imputed, then no mean or median was calculated for that time point.

For purposes of calculating summary statistics, any concentration values Below Limit of Quantification (BLQ) were to be assigned ½ the Low Limit of Quantification (LLOQ) (LLOQ=3.66). If the calculated mean, median or minimum value at a time point was less than LLOQ, "BLQ" is presented. In addition, since a high proportion of BLQ values may affect the Standard Deviation (SD); if more than 50% of values were imputed, then no mean or median was to be calculated for that time point.

For purposes of calculating summary statistics, any concentration values Below Limit Quantification (BLQ) were to be assigned ½ the Low Limit Quantification (LLOQ) (LLOQ=0.36). If the calculated mean, median or minimum value at a time point was less than LLOQ, "BLQ" is presented. In addition, since a high proportion of BLQ values may affect the Standard Deviation (SD); if more than 50% of values were imputed, then no mean or median was calculated for that time point.

Timeframe: 168 Days

Population: Safety endpoints adverse events (AEs), local tolerability, vital signs, performance status, bone pain, urinary pain, and urinary symptoms, occurrence of hot flushes and clinical laboratory and electrocardiogram (ECG) results.

The WHO/ECOG, bone pain, urinary pain and urinary symptoms data reported are the most frequent percentage at the assessment time. * The WHO/ECOG performance status was summarized using the 0 to 4 WHO/ECOG performance status scale. (0= fully active, able to carry on all pre-disease performances without restriction). * Bone pain, urinary pain and urinary symptoms were determined using a 10-point scale (1= no pain/symptoms, 10= worst pain/symptom imaginable).
