A phase II, open-label, single-arm, efficacy, and safety study of MDV3100 in patients with hormone-naïve prostate cancer.

177 Background: MDV3100 is a novel androgen receptor (AR) antagonist in clinical development for the treatment of prostate cancer (PCa). Compared to bicalutamide, MDV3100 has higher in vitro AR binding affinity and no evidence of partial agonism. Preliminary phase I-II data show antitumor activity with MDV3100 in men with advanced PCa who were concurrently using androgen deprivation therapy (ADT; Scher HI, et al. Lancet. 2010;375:1437-46). Phase II and III studies in men with progressive and earlier-stage PCa are ongoing. This abstract describes the design of a phase II study of MDV3100 in men with hormone-naive PCa (HNPCa) who are candidates for ADT. Methods: This 25-week, open-label, single-arm, efficacy and safety study of MDV3100 (160 mg/d orally) will be initiated at ∼20 investigational sites in late 2010 (planned countries: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Germany). Inclusion criteria include histologically confirmed, locally advanced PCa (all stages), noncastrate testosterone (T; ≥230 ng/...
