Zytiga (Abiraterone) Information

Zytiga, which contains the active ingredient abiraterone acetate, is a type of hormone therapy used to treat men with metastatic prostate cancer. It is typically prescribed for castration-resistant prostate cancer (cancer that has spread and no longer responds to medical or surgical treatments that lower testosterone) or for high-risk castration-sensitive prostate cancer. Because prostate cancer cells rely on male hormones (androgens) like testosterone to grow, Zytiga is used to help shrink tumours or slow their progression. The medication is taken by mouth as a tablet, usually once daily. It must be taken in combination with a steroid medication, such as prednisone or prednisolone. This steroid is necessary to help prevent certain side effects that can occur when Zytiga changes your hormone levels.

The mechanism of action involves inhibiting the enzyme CYP17. While other hormone therapies usually stop the testicles from producing testosterone, Zytiga stops testosterone production in three places: the testicles, the adrenal glands, and the tumour itself. By cutting off these multiple sources of "fuel," the medication helps manage the disease more effectively.
