Description

DEGARELIX (FIRMAGON®) is a synthetic linear decapeptide amide containing seven unnatural amino acids, five of which are D-amino acids. It is a GnRH receptor antagonist. It binds reversibly to the pituitary GnRH receptors, thereby reducing the release of gonadotropins and consequently testosterone. DEGARELIX (FIRMAGON®) is effective in achieving and maintaining testosterone suppression below the castration level of 50 ng/dL and is indicated for the treatment of patients with advanced prostate cancer.
