The ENZAMET Study: Adding Enzalutamide to ADT in Metastatic Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer Extends Survival

The trial found that 80% of men with metastatic hormone-sensitiveprostate cancer who received enzalutamide (Xtandi) along with standard-of-care treatment (ADT) were alive after three years, compared with just 72% of men who received other nonsteroidal antiandrogens along with standard ADT therapy.

When to Start ADT With A PSA Only Recurrence

Deferred hormone therapy (ADT) for in relapsing M0 (negative scans) prostate cancer patients is associated with prolonged overall survival (OS) measured from the time of local treatment, comparable to OS with salvage ADT in the contemporary experience.

Reporting on Apalutamide (Erleada) for Castrate Sensitive Prostate Cancer

The use of apalutamide (Erleada) improved radiographic progression-free survival with a 52% reduction in risk of death or radiographic progression; that benefit was observed across all subgroups analyzed in the TITAN TRIAL for men with progressing prostate cancer that is still hormone sensitive. The median radiographic progression-free survival was not reached in the apalutamide group and was 22.1 months in the placebo group.

A Dive Into the Data Showing African American Men Do Better Than Caucasian Men with Provenge And All Men Live Longer If They Receive Provenge When Their PSA Scores Are Low

 African American men face many different health disparities with most of the disparities being weighed against them.  There is one notable exception, African American (AA) men have a huge, significant overall survival benefit when given Sipuleucel-T (Provenge) equal to 9.5 months over their Caucasian counterparts!

Time to PSA Recurrence Is A Surrogate Endpoint for Prostate Cancer Survival

In an analysis of the NRG Oncology clinical trial NRG-RTOG 9202 it was shown that the interval of time to biochemical reoccurrence (PSA only or BCR), or the time it takes for previously treated prostate cancer to return as indicated by a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) rise, could be used as a surrogate endpoint for survival for men with locally advanced prostate cancer. 

Clinical Experience of 100 Consecutive Men Treated with Lu-177 

At the ESMO  2018 Conference that was recently concluded, there was a report of the clinical experience of 100 men with metastatic castrate resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who were consecutively treated with Lu-177 PSMA-I&T Radioligand Therapy. 

Lynparza with Zytiga Improves Outcomes

Recently presented data has shown that there is a clinical improvement in median radiologic progression-free survival (rPFS) when olaparib (Lynparza) is used in combination with abiraterone (ZYTIGA) compared to abiraterone alone in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).
