Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Has a histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate, for which endocrine therapy is indicated
* Has a current tumour, nodule and metastasis (TNM) staging within 12 weeks prior to treatment start and, if clinically indicated a bone scan
* Has a PSA level meeting one of these criteria:

1. For treatment-naïve patients: Screening PSA level should be ≥2 ng/mL.
2. For patients with recurrence after radical prostatectomy: Patients should have a serum PSA increase of ≥0.2 ng/mL from the previous test on two consecutive measurements
3. For patients with recurrence after radiotherapy or cryotherapy: Patients should have a serum PSA (two measurements) to be \>2 ng/mL higher than a previously confirmed PSA nadir
* Has a screening serum testosterone level above the lower limit of normal range in an elderly male population, globally defined as \>150 ng/dL
* Has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group score of ≤2
* Has a life expectancy of at least one year

Exclusion Criteria

* Has had previous or is currently under hormonal management of prostate cancer
* Is considered to be a candidate for curative therapy i.e. radical prostatectomy or radiotherapy during the trial period
* Has a history of bilateral orchiectomy, adrenalectomy, or hypophysectomy
* Has a marked baseline prolongation of QT/QTcF interval (e.g. repeated demonstration of a QTcF interval \>450 ms)
* Has a history of risk factors for Torsade de Pointes ventricular arrhythmias (e.g. heart failure, hypokalemia, or family history of Long QT Syndrome)
* Has a previous history or presence of another malignancy, other than prostate
* Currently receiving chronic treatment with intramuscular medication injected into the ventrogluteal or dorsogluteal muscle
* Has received an investigational drug within the last 28 days preceding the Screening Visit or longer if considered to possibly influence the outcome of the current trial
