Apalutamide is an inhibitor of the ligand-binding domain androgen receptor. Whether addition apalutamide to androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) would prolong radiographic progression–free survival and overall as compared with placebo plus ADT among patients metastatic, castration-sensitive prostate cancer has not been determined.

Apalutamide, a competitive inhibitor of the androgen receptor, is under development for treatment prostate cancer. We evaluated efficacy apalutamide in men with nonmetastatic castration-resistant cancer who were at high risk metastasis.We conducted double-blind, placebo-controlled, phase 3 trial involving and prostate-specific antigen doubling time 10 months or less. Patients randomly assigned, 2:1 ratio, to receive (240 mg per day) placebo. All patients continued androgen-deprivation...

Apalutamide is a potent androgen receptor (AR) antagonist that targets the AR ligand-binding domain and prevents nuclear translocation, DNA binding, transcription of gene targets. To evaluate activity safety apalutamide in patients with high-risk nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC). We conducted multicenter phase 2 study nmCRPC high risk for progression (prostate-specific antigen [PSA] ≥8 ng/ml or PSA doubling time [PSA DT] ≤10 mo). Patients received 240 mg/d while...

Abstract Food effect on abiraterone pharmacokinetics and safety acetate coadministration with low‐fat or high‐fat meals was examined in healthy subjects metastatic castration‐resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients. Healthy (n = 36) were randomized to (single dose, 1000 mg) + meal, fasted state. mCRPC patients received repeated doses (abiraterone mg 5 prednisone twice daily; days 1–7) a modified fasting state followed by plus within 0.5 hours post–low‐fat 6) meal 18; 8–14). In subjects,...

Attomole quantities of 4-(dimethylamino)azobenzene-4'-sulfonyl chloride derivatized amino acids are separated by using capillary zone electrophoresis in a mixed acetonitrile/aqueous buffer system. Detection is performed with an on-column thermooptical absorbance detection technique based on 130-mW argon ion pump laser. limits for the concentration analyte injected onto column range from 5 x 10(-8) M methionine to 10(-7) aspartic acid. Only 37 amol and 450 acid contained within subnanoliter...

<b><i>Background/Aims:</i></b> Women with diabetes experience a disproportionately greater burden of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) risk factors compared to men; however, sex-specific differences in DKD are not well defined. The effect age on sex is unknown. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> We performed cross-sectional analysis the prevalence (eGFR <60 ml/min/1.73 m<sup>2</sup> or microalbuminuria), advanced <30...

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy of apalutamide before or after treatment with abiraterone acetate and prednisone (AAP) in patients progressive metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC).Experimental Design: Two cohorts were studied: AAP-naïve post-AAP who had received ≥6 months AAP. Patients mCRPC per rising prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and/or imaging, without prior chemotherapy exposure. All 240 mg/day. Primary endpoint was ≥50% decline 12-week PSA according to Prostate...

Chronic supraphysiological glucocorticoid therapy controls the androgen excess of 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21OHD) but contributes to high prevalence obesity, glucose intolerance, and reduced bone mass in these patients. Abiraterone acetate (AA) is a prodrug for abiraterone, potent CYP17A1 inhibitor used suppress androgens treatment prostate cancer.The objective study was test hypothesis that AA added physiological hydrocortisone 9α-fludrocortisone corrects women with 21OHD without causing...

Abstract Purpose: We constructed a biomarker-survival modeling framework to explore the relationship between prostate-specific antigen (PSA) kinetics and overall survival (OS) in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients following oral administration of 1,000 mg/day abiraterone acetate (AA). Experimental Design: The PSA-survival was based on data from two phase III studies, COU-AA-301 (chemotherapy pretreated, n = 1,184) COU-AA-302 naïve, 1,081), included mixed-effects...
