Indications and Regulatory Labels for the Currently Approved Drugs for CRPC, Aligned With the PCWG3 Manifestation-Specific Outcome Framework

Early manifestations (response): control, relieve, or eliminate
 Approved to control pain or indicated for patients with symptoms
  Mitoxantrone plus prednisone for the treatment of patients with pain related to advanced hormone-refractory prostate cancer
  89Sr for the relief of bone pain in patients with painful skeletal metastases
  153Sm for relief of pain in patients with osteoblastic metastatic bone lesions that enhance on radionuclide bone scan
  Radium-223* (symptoms from bone metastases with no involvement of other organs)
 No FDA drug approvals on the basis of:
  PSA declines
  Tumor shrinkage
  Bone scan improvement
  Changes in circulating tumor cell number
Later manifestations (progression): delay or prevent
 Approved or shown to delay SREs or SSEs
  Zoledronic acid (SRE)
  Denosumab (SRE)
  Abiraterone acetate (SRE)*,
  Enzalutamide (SRE)*,
  Radium-223 (SSE)*,
 Approved for delay of death (survival)
  Docetaxel
  Sipuleucel-T
  Cabazitaxel
  Abiraterone acetate plus prednisone
  Enzalutamide
  Radium-223
 Delay of radiographic progression using PCWG2-based criteria, coprimary with survival
  Abiraterone acetate plus prednisone
  Enzalutamide
