Abstract
Oral enzalutamide (Xtandi®), a second generation androgen receptor inhibitor, is indicated for the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) in numerous countries worldwide, with specific indications in this patient population varying between individual countries. Based on extensive experience in the clinical trial and/or real-world settings, oral enzalutamide 160 mg once daily is an effective and generally well tolerated treatment in a broad spectrum of patients with CRPC, including in nonmetastatic and metastatic disease and in chemotherapy-naive and -experienced metastatic CRPC. Enzalutamide is an emerging option for the treatment of men with nonmetastatic CRPC who are at high-risk for developing metastatic disease, and remains an important first-line option in chemotherapy-naive or -experienced patients with metastatic CRPC.
