Enzalutamide (Xtandi)
FDA approved 8/31/2012. Also known as MDV3100.
General information
Class/mechanism: Antiandrogen; androgen receptor inhibitor (ARI) or androgen receptor signaling inhibitor (ARSI). Enzalutamide competitively inhibits testosterone from binding to the androgen receptor, interferes with translocation of the androgen receptor to the nucleus, and inhibits binding to DNA, resulting in decreased prostate cancer proliferation and cell death.[1][2][3]
Route: PO
Extravasation: n/a
For conciseness and simplicity, HemOnc.org currently will focus on treatment regimens and not list information such as: renal/hepatic dose adjustments, metabolism (including CYP450), excretion, monitoring parameters (although this will be considered for checklists), or manufacturer.
