Experience with degarelix in the treatment of prostate cancer

Abstract: Degarelix is a gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist for the firstline treatment of androgen-dependent advanced prostate cancer. It has a direct mechanism of action that blocks the action of GnRH on the pituitary with no initial surge in gonadotrophin or testosterone levels. Degarelix is the most extensively studied and widely available GnRH antagonist worldwide. Clinical studies have demonstrated similar efficacy to the GnRH agonist leuprolide in achieving testosterone suppression in patients with… Show more

“…The rate of treatment failure is calculated at the treatment results of 24 months by PSA value (nadir + 1.2) and/or post-treatment positive biopsy. testosterone as low as castration level in a few days and induce massive apoptosis of prostatic cells [17]. We expected additional effect by simultaneous use of HIFU and Degarelix, and expected a 100% prostatic cell kill that may not be accomplished by HIFU therapy only.…”

“…В ис-следовании на животных дегареликс имел самую низкую актив-ность в отношении высвобождения гистамина среди всех проте-стированных антагонистов ЛГРГ. На ex vivo модели человеческой кожи показаны аналогичные результаты: дегареликс демонстри-ровал самую низкую склонность к высвобождению гистамина по сравнению с ганиреликсом, абареликсом и цетрореликсом [31,32,[38][39][40].…”

“…Эти исследования определили наиболее эффек-тивные дозы дегареликса -240 мг в стартовой дозировке и 80 или 160 мг как поддерживающие дозы. Они также показали, что с уче-том риска и эффективности предпочтительным ежемесячным ре-жимом для лечения больных РПЖ дегареликсом является началь-ная доза 240 мг с последующей ежемесячной дозой 80 мг [39].…”
