8. Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
9. Concurrent malignancy or history of malignancy (apart from disease condition under study) within last 5 years before screening except curatively treated carcinoma in situ of the uterine cervix or basal cell carcinoma of the skin

11. Presence of clinically significant physical exam, laboratory, medical history, ECG findings that in the opinion of the Investigator may interfere with trial conduct, patient safety, or interpretation of results.
12. Patients with a known hypersensitivity to GnRH, GnRH-agonist analogues or any of the components in IMP.
13. Patients receiving anticoagulation medications.
14. Patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus (HbA1c > 8 % as per ADA) at randomization (those who have controlled blood sugar (fasting) will be eligible for randomization)
15. Patients with confirmed signs or symptoms related to cerebral metastasis or radiographically confirmed brain metastasis.
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).

21. A positive hepatitis screen including hepatitis B surface antigen or HCV antibodies.
22. Patients who test positive for HIV and/or syphilis.
23. The receipt of an investigational product, or participation in a drug research study within a period of 30 days prior screening or 5 half-lives within the last dose of investigational product, whichever is longer. Current use of any drugs that are known to interfere with goserelin metabolism or to cause a drug-drug interaction.
24. Donation / loss of blood/plasma or blood product (without replenishment) (1 unit or 350 mL) within 180 days prior to receiving the first dose of study medicine.
