MDV3100, an oral androgen antagonist, works using three separate mechanisms - it blocks testosterone from binding to the androgen receptor, it impedes nuclear translocation and it inhibits binding to DNA, thus slowing growth and inducing cell death in bicalutamide-resistant cancers.
As the first triple-acting oral androgen, MDV3100 has been shown in preclinical studies to provide a more complete suppression of the androgen pathway than the most-commonly used anti-androgen, bicalutamide. Preclinical data published in Science demonstrated that MDV3100 is superior to bicalutamide in each of these three actions.
Castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is defined as prostate cancer that continues to grow despite all standard-of-care hormonal (anti-androgen) therapies. Patients with castration-resistant (also known as hormone-refractory) prostate cancer have few treatment options and a poor prognosis.
