Apalutamide (ARN-509) exhibits low systemic clearance, high oral bioavailability and long plasma half-life in both mouse and dog, supporting once-daily oral dosing. Consistent with its long terminal-half-life, Apalutamide steady-state plasma-levels increases in repeat-dose studies, resulting in high C24hr levels and low peak:trough ratios (ratio:2.5). Castrate male mice bearing LNCaP/AR xenograft tumors are treated with either Apalutamide at doses of 1, 10 or 30 mg/kg/day. Thirteen of 20 Apalutamide (30 mg/kg/day)-treated animals exhibit >50% reduction in tumor-volume at day 28 versus 3 of 19 MDV3100 (30 mg/kg/day)-treated mice.
