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.
