Purpose
The purpose of this trial was to select a dose of degarelix (FE 200486). Three groups of patients were treated for six months on different doses. The patients had blood samples taken and measured for Testosterone in order to determine the most efficient dose to provide fast and sustained castration. The patients came to the clinic for 16 visits and dependent on the blood sample results they were invited to return for additional blood samples on a two weekly basis.

Primary Outcome Measures:
- Number of Participants With Testosterone <0.5 Nanogram/Milliliter [ Time Frame: Weeks 1,2,4,8,12,16,20,24 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Number of Participants With Testosterone < 0.5 Nanogram/Milliliter at All Visits Between Weeks 4-24 [ Time Frame: Weeks 4-24 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Number of Participants Not Meeting a Testosterone Withdrawal Criterion Between Weeks 4-24 [ Time Frame: Weeks 4-24 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Participants with one testoterone value > 1.0 nanogram/millliliter or two consecutive values between 0.5-1.0 nanogram/milliliter were withdrawn from the study due to insufficient response.
- Number of Participants Who Met the Withdrawl Criteria for Prostate-specific Antigen [ Time Frame: Six months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Participants who met at least one of the three criteria for inadequate response on prostate-specific antigen levels (PA). (1) >=25 percent and/or 50 nanogram/milliliter compared to baseline (2) reduction of <=50% compared to baseline at week 12 (3) increase of >=10 nanogram/milliliter compared to nadir from week 4.
- Number of Participants With Normal Prostate-specific Antigen Levels During the Study [ Time Frame: Weeks 12, 24 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The number of participants whose prostate-specific antigen levels at weeks 12 and 24 were <= 4 nanogram/millliliter (normal level).
- The Number of Participants With Abnormal Liver Function Tests [ Time Frame: Six months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The number of participants who had abnormal [defined as above upper limit of normal range (ULN)] alanine aminotransferase (ALT), participants with ALT increases > 3x ULN, and participants with ALT increases > 3x ULN with concurrent increases in bilirubin > 1.5 ULN.
- Percentage Change in Vital Signs and Body Weight [ Time Frame: Baseline and Six months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Percentage changes in vital signs (systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse) and body weight at the end of trial as compared to baseline.
