Hoping for the best
I am now on
Abiraterone
and prednisone for two years. I recently read a post that said that if my PSA was undetectable it meant that the cancer cell had died or were in the process of dying. Is this correct?

PSA rising - follow-up, now falling again
Special thanks to Tall Allen and Pickelballplayer for helping me understand that it was my
Abiraterone
dosage that was most likely to be the cause. I started taking 500 mg on empty stomach and added125 mg every week, now at 750mg .

Cabazitaxel Plus Enzalutamide
There was a phase 1 and phase 2 trial that proved the safety of this combination and they also saw a PSA response 30% or more in 30% of the patients who had previously been treated with
Abiraterone
.

Lu-177 PNT2002 SPLASH trial
The randomized study (32 weeks) will have arm A and arm B (
abiraterone
or enzalutamide) with crossover eligibility. I am concerned if I get assigned to arm B and moving the possible treatment well too late down the road if I change as requested from
Abiraterone
to Enzalutamide.

Duration of ADT needed with salvage radiation
New data from the "Formula 509" trial shows that hormone intensification with adjuvant apalutamide+
abiraterone
+ADT for just 6 months with salvage radiation therapy (SRT) may be all that's needed: https://www.prostatecancer.news/2023/02/duration-of-adt-needed-with-salvage.html

Enzalutamide or abiraterone
I asked him this question and said
abiraterone
has less fatigue side effects. I will need to get blood work done every two weeks and monitor potassium levels and kidneys.

What first?: Provenge or Nubeqa?
In the post chemotherapy space, two new oral agents have gained approval,
abiraterone
acetate and enzalutamide. The agent
abiraterone
acetate is an androgen biosynthesis inhibitor and lowers testosterone and testosterone metabolite levels by impacting the binding domain of the androgen receptor.

Update liver & lymph biopsy
Abiraterone
was never prescribed yet and it is worth a try. The liver biopsy states, 'CT guided biopsy from FDG Avid left lobe liver lesion shows deposits of Adenocarcinoma.There are atypical cells noted in clusters & sheets. Cells show high N:C ratio, prominent nucleoli & clear cytoplasm.

BATMAN
Post-BAT, the PSA50 and PSA90 responses to
abiraterone
or enzalutamide were 94.4% and 66.7%, respectively and median PFS was 20.6 months. Patients with peak PSA level of ≥9 ng/ml after BAT had median PFS of 20.6 months versus NR for those having PSA < 9 ng/ml (HR: 0.122, p < 0.001).

Moreover, indomethacin was found to surmount
abiraterone
and enzalutamide drug resistance in xenograft models over expressing AKR1C3 (71,72). These observations lead to the development of ASP9521 by Astellas.

PSA 4.37, Metastatic Aggressive PC
I am now scheduled to take
abiraterone
and continue with the decapeptyl injections. Can someone give me any honest guidelines and advice on how long
abiraterone
may work in my case? Is there anything else I could be doing? I live in Northern Ireland and under the NHS. Thanks, Scranbag (Jeremy).

Advice on switching dosage of Abiraterone
Thanks very much to everyone for replying to my earlier post but the core question that I now have is; Since my PSA is slowly rising (April 2.01 - Aug 6.6), should I switch from my current low dosage of 250mg
Abiraterone
with low fat meal to the FULL dosage of 1000mg
Abiraterone

PSA ranges
My journey began with a test result over 3,800 in late 2020 and never dropped below 6.0 with the various treatment regimens (docetaxel, then
abiraterone
, then cabazitaxel/carboplatin, lupron/zometa throughout, now Pluvicto, with some radiation in between just for spice).

Discount pharmacies
Searching online for US specialty drug suppliers for Zytiga (generic
abiraterone
) 250 mg x 2-30 day supply I find from $650 copay/month, with insurance, to a US online pharmacy without insurance at $78/mo. I called the pharmacy who said the drug is manufactured in the US.

Nubeqa failing onto C-94676 clinical trial
I was f first offered chemotherapy with docetaxal which is the standard of care, go on
Abiraterone
acetate, or enzalutimide , or enroll in a clinical trial of an AR degrader C-94676 which is in phase1/2 where dose escalation has reportedly been completed.

Adjusting dosage of Abiraterone with low fat meal
In hindsight, I wonder if I lowered my dosage of
Abiraterone
(500mg down to 250mg) too soon or if I should just have continued on the 500mg dosage. I had found it very difficult to handle the medication dosage of 1000mg of
Abiraterone
on an empty stomach.
