摘要

Enzalutamide is an oral androgen receptor signaling inhibitor used in the treatment of prostate cancer. Elderly patients with prostate cancer commonly have age-related comorbidities that require concomitant, active treatment. As a moderate inducer of the cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes CYP2C9 and CYP2C19, and a strong inducer of CYP3A4, there is potential for drug-drug interactions (DDIs) when enzalutamide is coadministered with other drugs that are CYP3A4 substrates—resulting in loss of efficacy or increased risk of unintended drug-related adverse events. In this podcast, we describe enzalutamide including its dosing, pharmacokinetics, and potential for interaction with coadministered drugs using several hypothetical patient cases with real-world clinical implications. Discussion of each patient case will highlight management strategies and illustrate that nearly all enzalutamide drug-drug interactions can be effectively managed with appropriate knowledge of which drugs pose interaction risks, when dose adjustments are indicated, and when alternative drugs can be substituted.
