Inclusion Criteria:

Each patient must meet all of the following inclusion criteria to be enrolled in the
study:

- Male 40 to 72 years of age

- Histologically-confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate having completed primary
local treatment at least 6 months prior to screening

- Meet all laboratory evaluation values at screening as specified in protocol

- For phase 1 of the study only: Concurrent gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH)
therapy with generally indolent or stable disease OR a potential candidate of GnRH at
some time in the future. Patients with metastatic disease must be asymptomatic with
only bone scan positive evidence of metastases. Patients with recurrent local
disease will be asymptomatic without bladder, bowel or obstructive symptoms

- For phase 2 portion of the study only: evidence of progressive prostate cancer, which
in the opinion of the referring physician and/or study investigator warrants the
initiation of GnRH analog therapy. Such patients may have either elevated or rising
PSA at least 6 months following primary local therapy (ies) or have evidence of
metastatic disease not previously treated with GnRH analog therapy.

- Provision of informed consent and for the phase 1 portion of the study only, willing
to participate with no expectation of therapeutic benefit

- Generally fit medical condition, with no acute or chronic medical conditions other
than prostate cancer, affecting 2-year life expectancy

- Ability to understand and comply with protocol requirements

- Agreement to, even if surgically sterilized but not surgically castrated, practice
effective barrier contraception OR abstain from heterosexual intercourse

- Suitable venous access for blood sampling

Patients meeting any of the following exclusion criteria are not to be enrolled in either
the phase 1 or phase 2 portion of the study:

additional hormone therapy or requiring chemotherapy

- History of surgical castration

- History of nonskin cancer, other than prostate cancer, requiring active treatment
within 2 years of screening

- History of cardiac surgery, within the previous 6 months or any planned elective
surgeries, other than skin surgery, during the ensuing 6 months

- Compromise of bone marrow function that would reduce tolerance to repeated blood
draws

In addition, for the phase 2 portion of the study, patients must not have any of the

hormone therapy (other than as neoadjuvant/adjuvant use)

- History of use of GnRH analog or antagonist (as adjuvant or neoadjuvant therapy)
within the 6 months prior to screening

- History of known or documented primary failure of GnRH analog therapy

- History of rising PSA or disease progression while on a GnRH analog or combined
androgen blockade (CAB) therapy
