2. Patients who are scheduled to receive any chemotherapy/radiotherapy in addition to goserelin.
3. Patients who are already on GnRH receptor agonist or antagonist therapy directed for prostate cancer.
4. Patients who have previously failed on GnRH receptor agonist or antagonist therapy for prostate cancer.
5. Presence of life-threatening metastatic visceral disease, defined as extensive hepatic involvement, or any degree (proven or suspected) of brain or leptomeningeal involvement (past or present) or symptomatic pulmonary lymhangitic spread. Patients with discrete pulmonary parenchymal metastases are eligible, provided their respiratory function is not compromised as a result of disease.
6. Patients who are intended to be started on any medication apart from study drug that can have impact on any of the study endpoints.
7. Patients with spinal cord compression (in the opinion of the Investigator), taking into account medical history, clinical observations and symptoms.
8. Excruciating, severe bone pain which is due to extensive metastatic osseous deposits.
9. Patient has "currently active" second malignancy, other than non-melanoma skin cancer. Patients are not considered to have a "currently active" malignancy if they have completed therapy >5 years previously and have no known evidence of residual or recurrent disease.
10. Patients with confirmed signs or symptoms related to cerebral metastasis or radiographically confirmed brain metastasis.
11. Patients with a clinically significant medical condition other than advanced prostate cancer including but not limited to renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal, endocrine, cardiovascular, neurological or psychiatric disease, alcohol or substance abuse, or any other condition that may affect the patient's health or the outcome of the trial as judged by the investigator.
12. Patients with a known hypersensitivity to GnRH, GnRH-agonist analogues or any of the components in IMP.
13. History of orchiectomy, adrenalectomy or hypophysectomy.
14. Patients receiving anticoagulation medications.
15. Patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (HbA1c > 8 % as per ADA) at randomization (those who have controlled blood sugar (fasting) will be eligible for randomization)
16. Uncontrolled hypertension (systolic blood pressure [BP] >140 or diastolic BP >90mm Hg) or uncontrolled cardiac arrhythmias. (Patients with hypertension controlled by antihypertensive therapies are eligible).
17. Patients with a QTc>450ms on the ECG at screening.
