Evaluating the long-term effectiveness and safety of enzalutamide plus androgen deprivation therapy in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.
This study reported the long-term effectiveness and safety of enzalutamide (Xtandi) in combination with androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) for the treatment of patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). The data showed that enzalutamide in combination with ADT improved the overall survival over the long term with manageable side effects in these patients.

Evaluating the long-term effectiveness and safety of adding abiraterone acetate and prednisolone with or without enzalutamide in patients with metastatic prostate cancer starting androgen-deprivation therapy.
The study evaluated the long-term effectiveness and safety outcomes of adding abiraterone acetate (AA; Zytiga) and prednisolone (P; Deltasone) with or without enzalutamide (Xtandi) in patients with metastatic prostate cancer (PC) starting androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT). The data showed that enzalutamide and AA+P should not be combined for patients with metastatic PC starting long-term ADT. Clinically important improvements in survival from the addition of AA+P to ADT can be maintained for longer than 7 years.

Does statin use improve survival outcomes in men with advanced prostate cancer undergoing androgen deprivation therapy?
This study evaluated the association between statin (cholesterol-lowering drugs) use and survival outcomes in men with advanced prostate cancer (PC) undergoing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). The data showed that statin use improved the survival outcomes in these patients.

Evaluating depression, anxiety, and patterns of mental health care in patients with prostate cancer receiving hormone therapy
This study evaluated depression, anxiety, and patterns of mental health care in patients with prostate cancer receiving hormonal therapy such as androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). The data showed that almost half of the patients with prostate cancer receiving ADT diagnosed with depression do not receive a documented mental health treatment.

Evaluating the effects of various treatments on cognitive function in older men with resistant prostate cancer
This study aimed to investigate the link between various treatments for castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and cognitive (mental) dysfunction in older men. The main finding was that the treatments assessed did not appear to have an impact on cognitive function.

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.

Searching for patients with advanced prostate cancer to trial an immunotherapy
This trial is aiming to assess the effectiveness of nivolumab (Opdivo) with or without ipilimumab (Yervoy) in treating metastatic prostate cancer according to the percentage of CD8 cells patients have. The main outcomes that are to be measured are the clinical benefit rate and the percentage of CD8 cells on biopsy during treatment. This trial is to be carried out in sites across the United States.
