Enzalutamide delayed metastases by almost two years in men with rapidly rising PSA on hormone therapy and no visible spread, and longer follow-up showed it also lengthened survival.
Phase 3 placebo-controlled trial of 1,401 men with non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and PSA doubling time of ten months or less randomised 2:1 to enzalutamide or placebo with continued androgen deprivation.
Median metastasis-free survival was 36.6 versus 14.7 months (hazard ratio 0.29), and the final analysis showed median overall survival of 67.0 versus 56.3 months (hazard ratio 0.73); fatigue, hypertension and falls were more common.
Enzalutamide is one of three androgen receptor inhibitors standard for high-risk non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
