Comparing darolutamide with apalutamide and enzalutamide for treating non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
The study compared the effectiveness and safety outcomes of darolutamide (Nubeqa) with apalutamide (Erleada) and enzalutamide (Xtandi) in treating non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). The data showed that darolutamide was safer and had similar effectiveness compared to apalutamide and enzalutamide.

Comparing docetaxel to abiraterone in patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer
This study compared the effectiveness of docetaxel (DOC; Taxotere) to abiraterone (ABI; Zytiga) and assessed possible predictive markers of progression-free survival (PFS) in patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC). The authors concluded that under real-world conditions, ABI was associated with better PFS in these patients.

Does androgen-deprivation therapy increase risk of mortality from heart attack or stroke?
This study examined the risk of heart-related mortality in patients undergoing androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) for prostate cancer. It found that patients treated with radiation therapy and ADT did not have an increased risk of heart-related mortality.

Evaluating the long-term outcomes of apalutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy in metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer
This study reported the long-term effectiveness and safety outcomes of apalutamide (Erleada) in combination with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for the treatment of metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC). The data showed that this combination improved survival, delayed castration resistance, and maintained the quality of life in these patients.
