Non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) is a heterogeneous disease with variable potential in developing into overt metastases. It is an area of increased unmet need in advanced prostate cancer and for which there had been no great treatments until recent US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of 2 novel anti-androgens apalutamide and enzalutamide, which were both approved given benefit in metastasis-free survival. Early data on the use of darolutamide, another novel anti-androgen, are also explored. This review discusses the pivotal trials that led to the approval of apalutamide and enzalutamide in the nmCRPC setting and discusses the key promises and challenges with the use of these agents.
非转移性去势抵抗性前列腺癌(nmCRPC)是一种异质性疾病,发展为明显转移的潜力各不相同。它是晚期前列腺癌中未满足需求不断增加的领域,直到美国食品药品监督管理局(FDA)最近批准了两种新型抗雄激素药物阿帕他胺和恩杂鲁胺,在此之前一直没有有效的治疗方法,这两种药物均因在无转移生存期方面的获益而获批。文中还探讨了另一种新型抗雄激素药物达罗他胺的早期使用数据。本综述讨论了促使阿帕他胺和恩杂鲁胺在nmCRPC治疗中获批的关键试验,并讨论了使用这些药物的主要前景和挑战。
