can someone help me out with the name of the new drug currently in clinical trials? it would be the drug you would take after bicalutamide fails. i believe it starts with doca or docu. no matter how i try to spell it, it fails to come up in a search.

thanks in advance.

yep. i rounded them out...but, the lowest enzulutamide ever brought his psa down to after zytiga/prednisone failed (while waiting for xtandi to be approved) was 200. they tried chemo but it failed and almost killed him.

She was asking about a drug in clinical trials. Gus gave the name with 1 letter off & Patrick corrected it. So relax.
