E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To demonstrate that the new ACINO Goserelin 10.8 mg Implant leads to a consistent and clinically meaningful suppression of testosterone levels below castrate level (0.5 ng/mL) that can be maintained for the rest of the active treatment phase once it has been achieved. Primary variable: Testosterone levels on Days 28, 42, 56, 70, 84, 88, 98, 112, 126, 140, 154 and 168 |
