Abstract
High-risk biochemical recurrence (BCR) definition varies across clinical studies/practice guidelines. We evaluated metastasis-free survival (MFS) by blinded, independent, central review and safety in EMBARK (NCT02319837) patients defined as high-risk BCR per European Association of Urology (EAU) criteria. Patients post-radical prostatectomy (prostatic-specific antigen doubling time ≤9 months) or post-radiation therapy with a Gleason score > 7, were considered EAU high-risk. MFS improved with enzalutamide + leuprolide (HR 0.37, 95% CI 0.25‒0.57) and enzalutamide monotherapy (HR 0.57, 95% CI 0.39‒0.83) versus leuprolide alone. MFS and safety for enzalutamide ± leuprolide versus leuprolide alone were similar in EMBARK patients with EAU-consistent or protocol-defined high-risk BCR. Clinical trial registration number: NCT02319837.
期刊介绍:
Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases covers all aspects of prostatic diseases, in particular prostate cancer, the subject of intensive basic and clinical research world-wide. The journal also reports on exciting new developments being made in diagnosis, surgery, radiotherapy, drug discovery and medical management.
Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases is of interest to surgeons, oncologists and clinicians treating patients and to those involved in research into diseases of the prostate. The journal covers the three main areas - prostate cancer, male LUTS and prostatitis.
Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases publishes original research articles, reviews, topical comment and critical appraisals of scientific meetings and the latest books. The journal also contains a calendar of forthcoming scientific meetings. The Editors and a distinguished Editorial Board ensure that submitted articles receive fast and efficient attention and are refereed to the highest possible scientific standard. A fast track system is available for topical articles of particular significance.
