Positive results of E4 co-treatment with androgen deprivation therapy for advanced prostate cancer has been published in European Urology Open Science
/in News, PublicationsPositive results of E4 co-treatment with androgen deprivation therapy for advanced prostate cancer has been published in European Urology Open Science
Pantarhei Oncology proudly announces that its paper ‘Estetrol Cotreatment of Androgen Deprivation Therapy in Infiltrating or Metastatic, Castration-sensitive Prostate Cancer: A Randomized, Double-blind, Phase II Trial (PCombi)’ has been published in the journal European Urology Open Science after comprehensive review. This journal is an international peer-reviewed, scientific, open access journal in the field of urology.
The research paper reports the results of the PCombi study, a phase II, double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled, multi-centre study in males recently diagnosed with locally advanced or metastatic prostate cancer, who started ADT treatment with an LHRH agonist. The ADT-treated patients were co-treated for 24-weeks with 40 mg E4 or placebo. The high dose E4 treatment was well-tolerated and no treatment-related cardiovascular adverse events were observed. Patient treated with E4 reported fewer complaints of estrogen deficiency symptoms and better quality of life than patients who received placebo. With E4, 6% of the patients reported hot flushes compared to 55% of patients treated with placebo. Total and free testosterone, prostate-specific antigen (PSA), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) were suppressed more rapid and profound, suggesting enhanced disease control by E4. In addition, bone turnover was substantially reduced in the E4-treated patient implicating a bone-sparing effect. The study results have now been published in European Urology Open Science (EUROS).
