Documented Uses

• Intended to treat patients with advanced prostate cancer ... slows the growth and progression of prostate cancer by suppressing testosterone
• THERAPEUTIC CATEGORY: Antineoplastic (hormonal)
• Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist; decapeptide amide with seven unnatural amino acids, five of which are D-amino acids.
• In Canada and the US, degarelix is indicated for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer in patients requiring androgen deprivation therapy. In the EU, it is more specifically indicated for the treatment of adult male patients with advanced hormone-dependent prostate cancer, and for treatment of high-risk localized and locally advanced hormone-dependent prostate cancer, in combination with radiotherapy or as a neo-adjuvant prior to radiotherapy.
• Degarelix is a parenterally administered, gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist that effectively blocks androgen production and is used to treat advanced prostate cancer. Degarelix therapy is associated with serum enzyme elevations during therapy, but has yet to be linked to instances of clinically apparent acute liver injury.
• Degarelix is approved to treat:
