Uses
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE XTANDI ® is indicated for the treatment of patients with: • castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) • metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) • non‑metastatic castration‑sensitive prostate cancer (nmCSPC) with biochemical recurrence at high risk for metastasis (high-risk BCR) XTANDI is an androgen receptor inhibitor indicated for the treatment of patients with: • castration-resistant prostate cancer. ( 1 ) • metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer. ( 1 ) • non‑metastatic castration‑sensitive prostate cancer with biochemical recurrence at high risk for metastasis. ( 1 )
Dosage
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION • Take XTANDI 160 mg administered orally once daily with or without food. ( 2.1 ) • Advise patients to take each capsule or tablet whole with a sufficient amount of water to ensure that all medication is successfully swallowed. ( 2.1 , 5.7 ) • Patients receiving XTANDI for castration-resistant prostate cancer, or metastatic castration sensitive prostate cancer should also receive a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) analog concurrently or should have had bilateral orchiectomy. ( 2.1 ) • Patients with non-metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer with biochemical recurrence at high risk for metastasis may be treated with or without a GnRH analog.
Side Effects
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS The following is discussed in more detail in other sections of the labeling: • Seizure [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.1 )] • Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.2 )] • Hypersensitivity [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.3 )] • Ischemic Heart Disease [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.4 )] • Falls and Fractures [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.5 )] • Dysphagia or Choking [see Warnings and Precautions ( 5.7 )] The most common adverse reactions (≥ 10%) that occurred more frequently (≥ 2% over placebo) in the XTANDI-treated patients are musculoskeletal pain, fatigue, hot flush, constipation, decreased appetite, diarrhea, hypertension, hemorrhage, fall, fracture, and headache.
Interactions
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS • Strong CYP2C8 Inhibitors: Avoid strong CYP2C8 inhibitors. If coadministration cannot be avoided, reduce the dosage of XTANDI. ( 2.3 , 7.1 ) • Strong CYP3A4 Inducers: Avoid strong CYP3A4 inducers. If coadministration cannot be avoided, increase the dosage of XTANDI. ( 2.3 , 7.1 ) • Avoid coadministration with certain CYP3A4, CYP2C9, or CYP2C19 substrates for which a minimal decrease in concentration may lead to therapeutic failure of the substrate. In cases where active metabolites are formed, there may be increased exposure to the active metabolites.
Warnings
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS • Seizure occurred in 0.6% of patients receiving XTANDI. In patients with predisposing factors, seizures were reported in 2.2% of patients. Permanently discontinue XTANDI in patients who develop a seizure during treatment. ( 5.1 ) • Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES): Discontinue XTANDI. ( 5.2 ) • Hypersensitivity: Discontinue XTANDI. ( 5.3 ) • Ischemic Heart Disease: Optimize management of cardiovascular risk factors. Discontinue XTANDI for Grade 3-4 adverse reactions ( 5.4 ) • Falls and Fractures: Evaluate patients for fracture and fall risk, and treat patients with bone-targeted agents according to established guidelines. ( 5.5 ) • Embryo-Fetal Toxicity: XTANDI can cause fetal harm and loss of pregnancy. 4 CONTRAINDICATIONS None. None. ( 4 )
Pregnancy
8.1 Pregnancy Risk Summary The safety and efficacy of XTANDI have not been established in females. Based on animal reproductive studies and mechanism of action, XTANDI can cause fetal harm and loss of pregnancy. There are no human data on the use of XTANDI in pregnant females. In animal reproduction studies, oral administration of enzalutamide in pregnant mice during organogenesis caused adverse developmental effects at doses lower than the maximum recommended human dose (see Data).
