9 . The method of claim 8 , wherein osanetant, or a stereoisomer, mixture of stereoisomers, prodrug, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, solvate, acid salt hydrate, N-oxide or isomorphic crystalline form thereof, is administered orally, intranasally, subcutaneously, intravenously, transdermally, or buccally.
10 . A method of chemically castrating a male patient, comprising administering to said patient, an effective amount of a neurokinin receptor (NK).
11 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the neurokinin receptor antagonist is a neurokinin-3 receptor antagonist.
12 . The method of claim 11 , wherein the neurokinin-3 receptor antagonist is selected from osanetant, fezolinetant, pavinetant, talnetant, SB-222,200, SB-218,795, and NT-814.
13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein the neurokinin-3 receptor antagonist is osanetant, or a stereoisomer, mixture of stereoisomers, prodrug, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, solvate, acid salt hydrate, N-oxide or isomorphic crystalline form thereof.
14 . The method of claim 10 , wherein the patient has cancer, has had cancer, or has an increased risk for cancer.
15 . The method of claim 14 , wherein the cancer is prostate cancer or testicular cancer.
16 . The method of any one of claims 13-15 , wherein osanetant, or a stereoisomer, mixture of stereoisomers, prodrug, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, solvate, acid salt hydrate, N-oxide or isomorphic crystalline form thereof, is administered in a total daily dosage of between 1 mg and 400 mg.
17 . The method of claim 16 , wherein osanetant, or a stereoisomer, mixture of stereoisomers, prodrug, pharmaceutically acceptable salt, hydrate, solvate, acid salt hydrate, N-oxide or isomorphic crystalline form thereof, is administered orally, intranasally, subcutaneously, intravenously, transdermally, or buccally.
18 . The method of any one of claims 1-17 , wherein the patient is, or has been, administered anordrin, bazedoxifene, broparestrol, clomifene, cyclofenil, lasofoxifene, ormeloxifene, ospemifene, raloxifene, tamoxifen, toremifene, acolbifene, afimoxifene, elacestrant, enclomifene, endoxifen, zuclomifene, arzoxifene, brilanestrant, clomifenoxide, droloxifene, etacstil, fispemifene, (E)-3-[4-[(E)-1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-phenylbut-1-enyl]phenyl]prop-2-enoic acid (GW-7604), idoxifene, levormeloxifene, miproxifene, nafoxidine, nitromifene, 4-(2-ethyl-11-azatricyclo[5.3.1.04,11]undeca-1(10),2,4,6,8-pentaen-3-yl)phenol (NNC 45-0095), panomifene, pipendoxifene, trioxifene, or zindoxifene.
