New hope for prostate cancer: enzalutamide slows progression in asian men
NCT ID NCT02294461
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 3 study tested the drug enzalutamide in 395 Asian men with metastatic prostate cancer that had stopped responding to standard hormone therapy. Participants had not yet received chemotherapy. The study compared enzalutamide to a placebo to see if it could delay rises in PSA levels, a marker of cancer progression. The goal was to assess whether enzalutamide could help control the disease for a longer time.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- enzalutamide (Xtandi)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, enzalutamide could offer a new treatment option to delay cancer progression in men with metastatic prostate cancer who have not yet had chemotherapy.
- What could go wrong
- This trial is completed, but results may not apply to all populations. Enzalutamide can cause side effects like fatigue, high blood pressure, and falls. It controls the disease, not cures it.

Inclusion Criteria: * Histologically confirmed adenocarcinoma of the prostate without neuroendocrine differentiation or small cell features * Ongoing androgen deprivation therapy with a GnRH analogue or bilateral orchiectomy * Progressive disease despite androgen deprivation therapy as defined by rising PSA levels or progressive soft tissue or bone disease * No prior treatment with cytotoxic chemotherapy * Asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic from prostate cancer Exclusion Criteria: * Severe concurrent disease, infection, or co-morbidity that, in the judgment of the Investigator, would make the patient inappropriate for enrollment * Known or suspected brain metastasis or active leptomeningeal disease * History of another malignancy within the previous 5 years other than curatively treated non-melanomatous skin cancer * History of seizure including febrile seizure or any condition that may predispose to seizure (e.g., prior stroke, brain arteriovenous malformation, head trauma with loss of consciousness requiring hospitalization).
