Abstract
Men with nonmetastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer and a rapidly rising prostate-specific antigen level are at high risk for metastasis. Until recently there was no standard of treatment for this category of patients. A total of 1401 patients with nonmetastatic, castration-resistant prostate cancer and a prostate-specific antigen doubling time of 10 months or less underwent randomization to double-blind, phase III PROSPER trial. Patients were continuing androgen-deprivation therapy in combination with enzalutamide (at a dose of 160 mg) or placebo once daily. The median metastasis-free survival was 36.6 months in the enzalutamide group versus 14.7 months in the placebo group. Enzalutamide treatment resulted in a 71 % lower risk of radiographic progression or death than did placebo (hazard ratio 0.29; 95 % confidence interval 0.24 to 0.35; p <0.001). Adverse events were consistent with the established safety profile of enzalutamide.
