In multiple clinical studies, XTANDI was proven to delay cancer progression and helped men live longer.

XTANDI was studied among 1,150 men with prostate cancer that had spread to other parts of the body and was still responding to hormone therapy or surgery to lower testosterone.

    These men were divided into two groups:

  • 574 received XTANDI + ADT (androgen deprivation therapy)
  • 576 received ADT alone

During the study, all men continued ADT, either hormone therapy or surgery to lower testosterone.

61% less risk of cancer progression

XTANDI slowed disease progression

Men who took XTANDI + ADT had 61% less risk of their cancer progressing compared to those who took ADT alone.

This means the study found the XTANDI + ADT group had 61% less risk of cancer progressing.*

At the time of analysis, progression was seen in 89 out of 576 (16%) men in the XTANDI group, compared to 198 out of 574 (34%) men in the ADT-alone group.

*Progression was defined as the cancer getting worse, as measured by scans, or if the patient died for any reason.

The median length of time until the cancer got worse was not reached for patients taking XTANDI + ADT because more than half of the men were still alive. As opposed, the median length of time until the cancer got worse was 19 months with ADT alone. The median is not the average, but the middle of a set of numbers.

34% reduction in the risk of death

In the same study, XTANDI helped men live longer (Overall Survival)

Men taking XTANDI had a 34% reduction in the risk of death compared with men not taking XTANDI.

This means the study found the XTANDI + ADT group had a 34% reduction in the risk of death compared with men not taking XTANDI.

At the time of analysis, there were 154 out of 574 (27%) deaths in the XTANDI group, compared with 202 out of 576 (35%) deaths in the ADT-alone group.

72% improvement in delaying next-treatment
In addition, patients receiving XTANDI had a 72% improvement in delaying the time before receiving the next cancer treatment, including chemo, compared with ADT alone.

Five-year follow-up on overall survival data

Investigators observed the number of patients who were alive around 5 years after patients started their treatment in the study. The study above was not designed to show a difference between the two treatment groups at 5 years. This means that these observations cannot tell us if there are differences in the results because of the treatment patients in each group received. Conclusions cannot be reached on this data, including which treatment is better or worse.

Unlike the main analysis shown above, the data did not undergo an additional independent review, and it was not used to support the FDA approval of XTANDI. Please speak with your doctor to better understand what this means for you.

XTANDI may cause serious side effects including: seizure, a brain condition called PRES, allergic reactions, heart disease that can lead to death, falls and bone fractures, swallowing problems or choking that can lead to death. Learn more about possible side effects

XTANDI was studied in 1,717 men with prostate cancer that had spread to other parts of the body and no longer responded to hormone therapy or surgical treatment to lower testosterone.

    These men were divided into two groups:

  • 872 received XTANDI + ADT (androgen deprivation therapy)
  • 845 received ADT alone

During the study, all men continued ADT, either hormone therapy or surgery to lower testosterone.

83% less risk of cancer progression

XTANDI slowed disease progression

Men taking XTANDI had an 83% lower chance of their cancer progressing compared with men not taking XTANDI.

This means the study found the XTANDI + ADT group had 83% less risk of cancer progressing.*

At the time of analysis, progression was seen in 118 out of 832 (14%) men in the XTANDI group, compared with 320 out of 801 (40%) men in the ADT-alone group.

65% reduction in starting new chemotherapy

In addition, men taking XTANDI had a 65% reduction in risk of starting new chemotherapy and also delayed the median time before beginning chemotherapy.

The median time before beginning chemotherapy was 28 months for men taking XTANDI + ADT vs. 11 months for ADT alone. The median is not the average, but the middle of a set of numbers.

XTANDI was studied in 1,401 men with prostate cancer that had not spread to other parts of the body and no longer responded to hormone therapy or surgical treatment to lower testosterone.

    These men were divided into two groups:

  • 933 received XTANDI + ADT (androgen deprivation therapy)
  • 468 received ADT alone

During the study, all men continued ADT, either hormone therapy or surgery to lower testosterone.

71% less risk of cancer spreading

XTANDI slowed disease spread

Men taking XTANDI had 71% less risk of their cancer spreading compared with men not taking XTANDI.

This means the study found the XTANDI + ADT group had 71% less risk of cancer spreading.*

At the time of analysis, cancer spreading was seen in 219 out of 933 (24%) men in the XTANDI group, compared with 228 out of 468 (49%) men in the ADT-alone group.

    XTANDI was studied in 1,068 men with prostate cancer:

  • That had not spread to other parts of the body and responds to a hormone therapy to lower testosterone
  • Who are at high risk of cancer spreading to other parts of the body
  • Who had not received chemotherapy and who all had prior surgery or radiation as definitive treatment

    These men were divided into three groups:

  • 355 received XTANDI + ADT (androgen deprivation therapy)
  • 355 received XTANDI alone
  • 358 received ADT alone
