About this trial

The purpose of this clinical trial is to test the effectiveness of a dosing regimen of Teverelix DP castration rate defined as the cumulative probability of testosterone suppression to \< 0.5 ng/mL with the lower bound of the 95% confidence interval (CI) being \> 90% to meet the evaluation criteria for efficacy.

The main question it aims to answer is:

•Is the dosing regimen of Teverelix DP in this study effective at achieving the required testosterone suppression to castrate levels.

Participants will

* Receive a single loading dose consisting of 3 injections of teverelix DP (180 mg IM + 2x 180 mg SC) on Day 1. * Receive a maintenance dose consisting of 2 injections (2X 180 mg SC) from week 4 (Day 29) and every 6 weeks up to Week 16 (Day 113). * The first 30 enrolled participants will have 24-hour continuous Holter monitoring performed and 24-hour PK samples will be drawn.

The results of this study are intended to support dose selection and provide supportive safety and PK/PD data to enable advancement into a subsequent Phase 3 clinical study in patients with advanced prostate cancer who are at high cardiovascular risk.
