Superior Anti-tumor Efficacy of Bicalutamide 80 mg in Combination with a Luteinizing Hormone-releasing Hormone (LHRH) Agonist Versus LHRH Agonist Monotherapy as First-line Treatment for Advanced Prostate Cancer: Interim Results of a Randomized Study in Japanese Patients

Abstract

In Japanese patients with advanced prostate cancer, first-line treatment with bicalutamide 80 mg in combination with an LHRH agonist is superior to LHRH agonist monotherapy in terms of the antitumor response at 12 weeks, and also time to treatment failure and progression, and does not compromise treatment safety. The study is ongoing.
