- Enzalutamide is an oral medication that helps prolong survival in men with castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and was evaluated for its effectiveness and safety in a study of 73 patients.
- The study found that patients without prior docetaxel treatment had a better response to enzalutamide, with 61.4% achieving a significant reduction in PSA levels, compared to only 24.1% in those who had received docetaxel.
- Common side effects included fatigue, anorexia, and nausea, and some patients experienced a PSA flare, which can occur in those who respond to treatment.
