Description

<p> (Purpose) This study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sequential therapy with two novel drugs, abiraterone and enzalutamide after docetaxel (DOC) therapy for castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC).</p><p> (Material and methods) Twenty-one patients were identified received sequential therapy with abiraterone and enzalutamide after DOC therapy at our institution. We investigated PSA response (decrease of 50% or more) to prior administered drug as primary endpoint, and overall survival rate and occurrence of adverse events as secondary endpoint.</p><p> (Results) There were 12 patients in the group preliminarily administered enzalutamide (Group E) and 9 patients in the group preliminarily administered abiraterone (Group A). The novel drugs were administered immediately following DOC therapy in nearly all cases. Of the 9 patients in Group A, only one patient (11%) and of the 12 patients in Group E, only one patient (9%) achieved PSA decrease of 50% or more, thus resulting in a poor response rate. There was not significantly difference in both groups. The overall survival rates of Group A and E were not significantly difference. There were three adverse events which required change drug. Those were two cases (appetite loss and general fatigue) on enzalutamide and one case (edema) on abiraterone.</p><p> (Conclusion) This study suggested that sequential therapy with abiraterone and enzalutamide after DOC therapy had poor clinical benefit regardless of the order of administration of both drugs.</p>
