How does ERLEADA work?

• ERLEADA works by blocking androgens from attaching to androgen receptors to help prevent cancer cells from growing.¹
  • Androgens are male hormones, primarily testosterone, that are needed for the prostate to function normally.²
  • However, when androgens attach to androgen receptors, they can help fuel prostate cancer cell growth.²
• Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), which can include medical or surgical treatments, is used to suppress or block the production or action of androgens. However, in certain cases, the prostate cancer adapts to the low levels of androgen.^{2, 3}
• ERLEADA and ADT work together to lower androgens that can help fuel the prostate cancer. ^{1, 2}
