Article Synopsis
  • The study analyzes how clinical risk stratification can be used to assess the advantages of long-term androgen deprivation therapy (ltADT) compared to short-term therapy (stADT) in high-risk localized prostate cancer patients.
  • Results indicate that patients with very-high risk features have greater improvements in survival outcomes when treated with ltADT, although the variation in treatment effects across different risk groups is not statistically significant.
  • The findings suggest the need for further clinical trials to refine risk stratification methods and better identify which high-risk localized prostate cancer patients could benefit more from longer therapy.

Acalabrutinib (ACP) is a first-line treatment for chronic lymphocytic leukemia but suffers from poor and variable oral bioavailability due to its pH-dependent solubility, CYP3A4 metabolism, and P-gp efflux. Thus, the objective of this study was to improve the solubility and dissolution behaviour, in turn enhancing bioavailability, by formulating solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs). ACP loaded SLNs (ACP-SLNs) were prepared via solvent-free hot emulsification followed by a double sonication process.
