Enzalutamide, sold under the brand name Xtandi, is a medication used to treat prostate cancer.[2] Specifically it is us to treat castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), and metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC).[2] It is taken by mouth.[2]

Common side effects include tiredness, back pain, diarrhea, joint pain, high blood pressure, and hot flashes.[2] Other side effects may include seizures, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, allergic reactions, and falls.[2] Use during pregnancy, including by the male, may harm the baby.[2] There are a number of medication interactions.[2] It is a nonsteroidal antiandrogen (NSAA) which works by blocking androgens like testosterone, from binding to the androgen receptor.[4]

Enzalutamide was patented in 2006 and approved for medical use in the United States in 2012.[7][4] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines as an alternative abiraterone.[8] In the United Kingdom 4 weeks of treatment costs the NHS about £2,700 as of 2021.[9] This amount in the United States costs about 12,000 USD.[10]
