Experimental: Leuprolide Mesylate 50mg
All subjects will be males with advanced prostate carcinoma. They will be injected twice with a depot formulation containing 50 mg of Leuprolide Mesylate. The first dose on day 0 the second dose on day 168 (six months apart). Subjects will be followed until day 336.

Drug: Leuprolide Mesylate
Subcutaneous injection of 50mg Leuprolide Mesylate |
- Efficacy of Leuprolide Mesylate (LMIS 50mg) [ Time Frame: baseline to 28 days, 28 days to 336 days ]The percentage of subjects with a serum testosterone concentration suppressed to castrate levels (≤ 50 ng/dL) following the first injection of LMIS 50 mg from Day 28 through Day 336 (remaining duration of the study).
- Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) [ Time Frame: 336 days ]Safety analysis was based on the safety information from the laboratory evaluations, AEs, and SAEs.
