CVD is the leading cause of death in prostate cancer patients, after prostate cancer itself7,8



Up to 30% of prostate cancer patients are likely to be at high risk of a CV event2

LHRH agonists are associated with a significantly increased risk of CV events vs. no treatment9

Compared with no treatment, LHRH agonists (including leuprorelin and goserelin) increase the risk of 9

UK Primary Care database of patients with prostate cancer (population-based cohort study)1

(n=9,081, aged ≥40 years)

More patients prescribed DEGARELIX FERRING had pre-existing CVD at baseline vs. patients on LHRH agonists*

6.9% estimated relative risk of CV event with DEGARELIX FERRING vs.17.7% with LHRH agonists>

(RR 0.39) (95% CI 0.191-0.799, p=0.01)

* LHRH agonists refers to pooled data of patients receiving leuprorelin, goserelin and triptorelin.
‍† Calculated by Ferring using relative and absolute risk reduction.
