Hi all,

I have heard that there is a new medicine every 6 months in the market for PCa and would like to know if someone heard about any recently released medication after Xtandi.
I am here for my dad. I am his daughter.

Thanks guys

Apalutamide formerly ARN509 has been approved for nmCRPC. Every 6 months is an optimistic view.

BAT, a simple, relatively safe treatment is in clinical trials but getting it outside a trial is very difficult..Has your Dad had any type of chemotherapy? Dosetaxel ?

I am at the tag end of Zytiga and likely headed to Xtandi next. In a conversation with my MO, he indicated that Elreada is an option, and that there are likely to be some trails available. The science is changing quickly. Also, if your Dad has not had chemo yet, after those treatments they my try Zytiga and Xtandi again looking for a response. I post often and will keep the forum posted as I move forward.
