NCT ID NCT00117286
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at the long-term safety of the drug degarelix in 57 men with prostate cancer. Participants received a monthly injection of degarelix for up to 5 years. The goal was to monitor side effects, such as changes in blood pressure, pulse, weight, and liver function.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Degarelix (a hormone-blocking drug given as a monthly injection)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could confirm that long-term use of degarelix is safe for controlling prostate cancer.
- What could go wrong
- This is an extension study focused on safety, not on how well the drug works. The small number of participants (57) limits how much we can learn about rare side effects.
