Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events |
ERLEADA® + ADT (n=524) | Placebo + ADT (n=527) |
---|---|---|
Any mental impairment disorder | 2.7% | 1.5% |
Memory impairment | 1.3% | 1.1% |
Amnesia | 0.8% | 0.2% |
Cognitive disorder | 0.8% | 0.2% |
Disturbance in attention | 0.2% | 0.2% |
Serious adverse reactions occurred in 20% of patients in the ERLEADA® + ADT arm and 20% of patients in the placebo + ADT arm.1 The discontinuation rate due to adverse reactions was 8% in the ERLEADA® + ADT arm.1
In the combined data of 2 randomized, placebo-controlled clinical studies, rash associated with ERLEADA® was most commonly described as macular or maculopapular. The onset of rash occurred at a median of 83 days of ERLEADA® treatment. Rash resolved in 78% of patients within a median of 78 days from onset of rash.1

Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events |
ERLEADA® + ADT (n = 803) |
Placebo + ADT (n=398) |
---|---|---|
Any mental impairment disorder* | 3.9%† | 3.4%† |
Amnesia | 1.9% | 1.0% |
Memory impairment | 1.6% | 1.5% |
Disturbance in attention | 1.2% | 0.3% |
Cognitive disorder | 0.7% | 0.8% |
To evaluate the potential effect of ERLEADA® on cognitive deficits, events of amnesia, cognitive disorder, memory impairment, and disturbance in attention were assessed.3,4
*All mental impairment disorders were Grades 1 or 2.4
†Exposure-adjusted rate. An exposure-adjusted rate is 100 times the number of distinct mental impairment disorder treatment-emergent adverse events divided by total years of exposure.4
In the SPARTAN study, 25% of patients in the ERLEADA® + ADT arm experienced serious adverse reactions and 23% of patients in the placebo + ADT arm.1
In the combined data of 2 randomized, placebo-controlled clinical studies, rash associated with ERLEADA® was most commonly described as macular or maculopapular. The onset of rash occurred at a median of 83 days of ERLEADA® treatment. Rash resolved in 78% of patients within a median of 78 days from onset of rash.1
