Abiraterone acetate for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer post-docetaxel
Abiraterone acetate (AA) 1000-mg daily, a selective irreversible androgen biosynthesis inhibitor of cytochrome P450 c17 (CYP17) enzyme, is used in combination with prednisone 10-mg daily to treat docetaxel-treated patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Several studies have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of this compound in men with mCRPC. Interim results fr...
متن کاملAbiraterone acetate: in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
Oral abiraterone acetate, in combination with prednisone/prednisolone, is used to treat patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) who have previously received docetaxel-containing chemotherapy. Abiraterone acetate was developed to specifically inhibit cytochrome P450 (CYP)17A1, which is an essential enzyme in the biosynthesis of testosterone. In a pivotal phase III tr...
متن کاملCabazitaxel in the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer: patient selection and special considerations
Cabazitaxel is an effective chemotherapeutic agent used in the treatment of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) refractory to docetaxel. With the advent of new antiandrogen therapies, immune-based treatments, and radioactive-targeted therapy, there are now multiple effective and approved agents for this disease state. The optimal sequencing of these agents is unclear as ther...
متن کاملAbiraterone acetate: redefining hormone treatment for advanced prostate cancer.
Prostate cancer has long since been recognised as being hormonally driven via androgen receptor signalling. Abiraterone acetate (AA) is a rationally designed CYP17 inhibitor that blocks the conversion of androgens from non-gonadal precursors effectively, thus reducing testosterone to undetectable levels. AA has recently been proved to extend survival for men with metastatic castration-resistant...
متن کاملFeasibility of abiraterone acetate treatment in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and atrial fibrillation
BACKGROUND Abiraterone acetate (AA), a selective inhibitor of the CYP17 enzyme, demonstrated a significant improvement in the treatment of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. The risk of endocrine side effects, mainly an increased adrenal mineralocorticoid production, could limit its use in patients with atrial fibrillation. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the c...
