Quality of life in patients with advanced prostate cancer after apalutamide treatment
This study analyzed the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (MCSPC) after treatment with apalutamide (Erleada) and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). The study found that apalutamide plus ADT was well tolerated and improved survival compared to ADT alone in these patients.

Phase 3 clinical trial comparing intermittent hormonal therapy and continuous hormonal therapy in patients with advanced prostate cancer
The present study compared the effectiveness of two kinds of hormonal therapy in advanced prostate cancer (cancer that has spread beyond the prostate gland). These are intermittent hormonal therapy (IHT) and continuous androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT). In this study, IHT was similar to ADT in terms of survival, but showed better quality of life in patients with advanced prostate cancer (PCa).

Abiraterone acetate and prednisone in patients with metastatic, castration‑sensitive prostate cancer
This study evaluated if the benefit of adding abiraterone acetate (Zytiga) + prednisone (Deltasone) to androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) in treating metastatic, castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) would be maintained in patients treated with ADT alone. This study concluded that this treatment improved patients’ survival in these patients.
