^[1]	The Gleason score is a system of grading the aggressiveness of the prostate cancer and how fast it is likely to grow and spread. Scale is 2-10, with low numbers being the least aggressive and 10 being the most aggressive.

Stage of prostate cancer ^[1]
[Units: Participants]

Localized

Metastatic

Not classifiable

^[1]	Prostate cancer stage was classified to describe the extent of cancer. Localized refers to tumors without involvement of lymph nodes or metastasis. Advanced localized can be larger tumors that may involve the lymph nodes but no metastasis. Metastatic are more advanced cancers that are spreading beyond the original tumor.

Outcome Measures

1. Primary:

Time to Meet Insufficient Testosterone Response [ Time Frame: 3 months ]

Measure Type	Primary
Measure Title	Time to Meet Insufficient Testosterone Response
Measure Description	Figures in the table are Kaplan-Meier estimates of the time to meeting insufficient testosterone response. Insufficient testosterone response was defined as testosterone >1.0 ng/mL at one visit or testosterone 0.5-1.0 at two consecutive visits.
Time Frame	3 months

Population Description

Explanation of how the number of participants for analysis was determined. Includes whether analysis was per protocol, intention to treat, or another method. Also provides relevant details such as imputation technique, as appropriate.
Patients who withdrew without meeting the insufficient testosterone (T) suppression criteria were censored as of the time for last available T measurement prior to discontinuation. For the 40 mg group the 95% confidence interval around the time estimate was non-estimable and no statistical analysis is presented (the estimate was 14 days).

Measure Type	Secondary
Measure Title	Time to Testosterone Castration (Testosterone ≤0.5 ng/mL).
Measure Description	Time to testosterone castration was calculated as the number of days from dosing to the first scheduled visit when testosterone was less than 0.5 ng/mL. The figures in the table present the number of participants who were castrated after 1, 3, 7, 14, 21, 28, and 42 days.

Population Description

Explanation of how the number of participants for analysis was determined. Includes whether analysis was per protocol, intention to treat, or another method. Also provides relevant details such as imputation technique, as appropriate.
Half participants in the 40 mg group were not castrated and the median was not calculated (no statistical anaylsis was made). Two participants out of 24 in the 80 mg, 1/24 in the 120 mg, and 3/24 in the 160 mg groups were not castrated. For the 160 mg group the 95% CI was non-estimable and no statistical anaylsis was made.

Liver Function Tests [ Time Frame: 3 months ]

Measure Type	Secondary
Measure Title	Liver Function Tests
Measure Description	The number of participants who had abnormal (defined as above upper limit of normal range (ULN)) alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels, aspartate aminotransferas levels, and bilirubin levels plus the number of participants who had ALT increases >3x ULN and ALT increases >3x ULN with concurrently increased bilirubin >1.5 ULN.
Time Frame	3 months

Population Description

Explanation of how the number of participants for analysis was determined. Includes whether analysis was per protocol, intention to treat, or another method. Also provides relevant details such as imputation technique, as appropriate.
