The authors concluded that enzalutamide in combination with androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) is superior to ADT plus standard antiandrogen therapy and leads to an improvement in overall survival. Docetaxel-pretreated patients have a higher incidence of adverse events. Further data will need to clarify the optimal sequence and utility of chemotherapy and ADT.
