Ozarelix (developmental code names D-63153, SPI-153) is a peptide gonadotropin-releasing hormone antagonist (GnRH antagonist) which is or was under development by AEterna Zentaris Inc. and Spectrum Pharmaceuticals as a long-acting injection formulation for the treatment of prostate cancer.[1][2] It has also been investigated for the treatment of endometriosis, but no development has been reported.[1] The drug was previously under investigation for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia and Alzheimer's disease as well, but development for these indications was discontinued.[1] As of June 2015, it was in phase II clinical trials for prostate cancer.[1] It seems to no longer be under development.[1]
