japanese research for patients with non-metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer - enzalutamide

Conditions: Prostate Cancer

Summary: the purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of enzalutamide in patients with non-metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer. the total duration of the study will be 5 years. all patients will receive enzalutamide 160 mg (four 40 mg capsules) orally once daily. the treatment will be started at visit 0 within one week after enrollment. visit 1 is at 2 weeks after the treatment started; clinical assessments are conducted on adverse events and the japanese version of the functional assessment of cancer therapy-prostate (fact-p) scales. patients who are considered to be adequate by the investigator can continue the treatment with 12-week cycle visit (counted from initial dose) until patients meet withdrawal criteria. patients will be followed up at 2 and 3 years after enrollment and at 3 years after the last participant enrollment. the end of the study is defined as follow-up assessment date at 3 years after the last participant enrollment. patients will primarily be assessed by prostate-specific antigen (psa) progression-free survival (pfs).
