Is NUBEQA recommended by international guidelines?
NUBEQA is recommended by EAU guidelines:
Guidelines for non-metastatic castrate-resistant disease
Recommendation:
- Offer apalutamide, darolutamide or enzalutamide to patients with M0 CRPC and a high risk of developing metastasis (PSA-DT < 10 months) to prolong time to metastases and overall survival.
Guidelines for the first-line treatment of hormone-sensitive metastatic disease*
Recommendations:
- Offer docetaxel only in combination with ADT plus abiraterone or darolutamide to patients with M1 disease and who are fit for docetaxel.
- Offer ADT combined with darolutamide to patients with M1 disease who are fit for the regimen.
* metastatic disease defined by bone scintigraphy and CT scan/MRI.
For further information please refer to the Full EAU Guidelines.
