Study start date: January 23, 2007

Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

This study is to compare the improvement in symptom scores, peak flow rate and quality of life in men suffering from lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) secondary to Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy (BPH) following treatment with ozarelix. Ozarelix is compared to placebo and injections given 14 days apart. Patients are followed for 6 months and both safety and efficacy assessed at monthly visits. Additionally, the impact of treatment on erectile function, if any, as well as Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) and Testosterone levels will be monitored. The screening period of 7 days. The duration of the study is 40 weeks, including a 28-day placebo run-in phase (eligible participants entered a placebo run-in phase in which placebo is administered twice over a 2 week period \[Day -28 and Day -14\] and participants are assessed to establish baseline values approximately 14 days following the second placebo injection), study drug is administered on Days 0 and 14 followed by 34 weeks of observation after the last dose of study drug.
