The non-steroidal antiandrogens flutamide (Eulexin®), nilutamide (Anandron®) and bicalutamide (Casodex®) are widely used in the treatment of advanced prostate cancer, particularly in combination with castration. The naturally occurring ligand 5α-DHT has higher binding affinity at the androgen receptor than the non-steroidal antiandrogens. Bicalutamide has an affinity two to four times higher than 2-hydroxyflutamide, the active metabolite of flutamide, and around two times higher than nilutamide for wild-type rat and human prostate androgen receptors. Animal studies have indicated that bicalutamide also exhibits greater potency in reducing seminal vesicle and ventral prostate weights and inhibiting prostate tumour growth than flutamide. Although preclinical data can give an indication of the likely clinical activity, clinical studies are required to determine effective, well-tolerated dosing regimens. As components of combined androgen blockade (CAB), controlled studies have shown survival benefits of flutamide plus a luteinising hormone-releasing hormone analogue (LHRH-A) over LHRH-A alone, and for nilutamide plus orchiectomy over orchiectomy alone. Other studies have failed to show such survival benefits, including those comparing flutamide plus orchiectomy with orchiectomy alone, and nilutamide plus LHRH-A with LHRH-A alone. In a direct comparative study, bicalutamide (50 mg, once daily) was compared with flutamide (250 mg, three times daily), each in combination with an LHRH-A. Both therapies were well tolerated, although more patients could not tolerate flutamide therapy: 25 flutamide plus LHRH-A and 2 bicalutamide plus LHRH-A patients withdrew from therapy due to diarrhoea. There were no statistically significant differences for time to progression or survival between the two antiandrogens. This clinical trial of bicalutamide confirms the prediction from preclinical studies that a 50 mg dose of... [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
