The ENZAMET trial is one of the two clinical trials of the drug Enzalutamide that have now begun in Australia.


 


The ENZAMET trial is for men who have metastatic prostate cancer. 


 


Men in the trial will have standard hormone therapy - an LHRH agonist such as Zoladex plus an non-steroidal anti-androgen. 


 


Half the men will use one of the current non-steroidal anti-androgens (bicalutamide, nilutamide or flutamide).


The other half will use the new non-steroidal anti-androgen Enzalutamide.


 


You cannot enter this trial if you have had your prostate cancer treated by: 


hormone treatment longer than 2 years.
