Randomized Salvage Radiation Therapy Plus Enzalutamide Post Prostatectomy

Completed · Phase 2 · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate

In brief

The primary hypothesis of this study is that outcomes for patients with biochemically recurrent prostate cancer following radical prostatectomy will be improved by the addition of enzalutamide for 6-months compared to standard-of-care salvage radiation therapy to allow for further study in the definitive phase III setting. This study builds on the prior success of high-dose bicalutamide (for 24 months) when combined with salvage external radiation therapy (XRT), while using a newer more potent anti-androgen for a shorter duration of time (6 months) in an effort to minimize adverse effects.
