So I am following the de-escalation trials as discussed here:

dailynews.ascopubs.org/do/c....

I am working with my own MO on de-escalation so no ADT injection for me at the end of September and so am on the Apalutamide monotherapy. ( only been a couple of weeks).

Will report my QOL situation plus any change to. My PSA which has been undetectable for 14 months.

Anyone on these trials as I would be interested to hear.

Regards all

De-escalation is a polite way of saying: "stop the silliness of throwing around kitchen sinks". Intermittent anti-androgen treatment, like the Libertas trial, is better than fixed standard dosage, but lacking behind proportional dosage adjustment. OP is aware of my Bicalutamide maneuvers, but persuading his MO isn't a trivial thing.
