A small study in Japanese subjects showed that 8 of 47 patients (17%) developed interstitial pneumonitis. Reports of interstitial changes including pulmonary fibrosis that led to hospitalization and death have been reported rarely post-marketing. Symptoms included exertional dyspnea, cough, chest pain, and fever. X-rays showed interstitial or alveolo-interstitial changes, and pulmonary function tests revealed a restrictive pattern with decreased DLco. Most cases occurred within the first 3 months of treatment with Nilutamide Tablets, and most reversed with discontinuation of therapy. A routine chest X-ray should be performed prior to initiating treatment with Nilutamide Tablets. Baseline pulmonary function tests may be considered. Patients should be instructed to report any new or worsening shortness of breath that they experience while on Nilutamide Tablets. If symptoms occur, Nilutamide Tablets should be immediately discontinued until it can be determined if the symptoms are drug related. Hepatitis Rare cases of death or hospitalization due to severe liver injury have been reported post-marketing in association with the use of Nilutamide Tablets. Hepatotoxicity in these reports generally occurred within the first 3 to 4 months of treatment. Hepatitis or marked increases in liver enzymes leading to drug discontinuation occurred in 1% of Nilutamide Tablet patients in controlled clinical trials. Serum transaminase levels should be measured prior to starting treatment with Nilutamide Tablets, at regular intervals for the first 4 months of treatment, and periodically thereafter. Liver function tests should also be obtained at the first sign or symptom suggestive of liver dysfunction, e.g. nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fatigue, anorexia, \"flu-like\" symptoms, dark urine, jaundice, or right upper quadrant tenderness. If at any time, a patient has jaundice, or their ALT rises above 2 times the upper limit of normal, Nilutamide Tablets should be immediately discontinued with close follow-up of liver function tests until resolution. Use in Women Nilutamide Tablets have no indication for women, and should not be used in this population, particularly for non-serious or non-life threatening conditions. Other Foreign post-marketing surveillance has revealed isolated cases of aplastic anemia in which a causal relationship with Nilutamide Tablets could not be ascertained."],"pregnancy":["Pregnancy Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with nilutamide. It is also not known whether nilutamide can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproductive capacity. Nilutamide should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed."],"overdosage":["OVERDOSAGE One case of massive overdosage has been published. A 79-year-old man attempted suicide by ingesting 13 g of nilutamide (i.e., 43 times the maximum recommended dose). Despite immediate gastric lavage and oral administration of activated charcoal, plasma nilutamide levels peaked at 6 times the normal range 2 hours after ingestion. There were no clinical signs or symptoms or changes in parameters such as transaminases or chest X-ray. Maintenance treatment (150 mg/day) was resumed 30 days later. In repeated-dose tolerance studies, doses of 600 mg/day and 900 mg/day were administered to 9 and 4 patients, respectively. The ingestion of these doses was associated with gastrointestinal disorders, including nausea and vomiting, malaise, headache, and dizziness. In addition, a transient elevation in hepatic enzyme levels was noted in one patient. Since nilutamide is protein bound, dialysis may not be useful as treatment for overdose. As in the management of overdosage with any drug, it should be borne in mind that multiple agents may have been taken. If vomiting does not occur spontaneously, it should be induced if the patient is alert. General supportive care, including frequent monitoring of the vital signs and close observation of the patient, is indicated."],"description":["DESCRIPTION Nilutamide Tablets contain nilutamide, a nonsteroidal, orally active antiandrogen having the chemical name 5,5-dimethyl-3-[4-nitro-3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-2,4-imidazolidinedione with the following structural formula: Nilutamide is a microcrystalline, white to practically white powder with a molecular weight of 317.25. Its molecular formula is C 12 H 10 F 3 N 3 O 4 . It is freely soluble in ethyl acetate, acetone, chloroform, ethyl alcohol, dichloromethane, and methanol. It is slightly soluble in water [<0.1% W/V at 25°C (77°F)]. It melts between 153°C and 156°C (307.4°F and 312.8°F). Each Nilutamide Tablet contains 150 mg of nilutamide. The inactive ingredients in Nilutamide Tablets include: calcium stearate, docusate sodium, lactose, povidone, corn starch, and talc. structure"],"precautions":["PRECAUTIONS General Antiandrogen Withdrawal Syndrome Patients whose disease progresses while being treated with an antiandrogen may experience clinical improvement with discontinuation of the antiandrogen. Information for Patients Patients should be informed that Nilutamide Tablets should be started on the day of, or on the day after, surgical castration. They should also be informed that they should not interrupt their dosing of Nilutamide Tablets or stop taking this medication without consulting their physician. Because of the possibility of interstitial pneumonitis, patients should also be told to report immediately any dyspnea or aggravation of pre-existing dyspnea. Because of the possibility of hepatitis, patients should be told to consult with their physician should nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, or jaundice occur. Because of the possibility of an intolerance to alcohol (facial flushes, malaise, hypotension) following ingestion of Nilutamide Tablets, it is recommended that intake of alcoholic beverages be avoided by patients who experience this reaction. This effect has been reported in about 5% of patients treated with Nilutamide Tablets. In clinical trials, 13% to 57% of patients receiving Nilutamide Tablets reported a delay in adaptation to dark, ranging from seconds to a few minutes, when passing from a lighted area to a dark area. This effect sometimes does not abate as drug treatment is continued. Patients who experience this effect should be cautioned about driving at night or through tunnels. This effect can be alleviated by the wearing of tinted glasses. Drug Interactions In vitro , nilutamide has been shown to inhibit the activity of liver cytochrome P-450 isoenzymes and, therefore, may reduce the metabolism of compounds requiring these systems. Consequently, drugs with a low therapeutic margin, such as vitamin K antagonists, phenytoin, and theophylline, could have a delayed elimination and increases in their serum half-life leading to a toxic level. The dosage of these drugs or others with a similar metabolism may need to be modified if they are administered concomitantly with nilutamide. For example, when vitamin K antagonists are administered concomitantly with nilutamide, prothrombin time should be carefully monitored and, if necessary, the dosage of vitamin K antagonists should be reduced. Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility Administration of nilutamide to rats for 18 months at doses of 0, 5, 15, or 45 mg/kg/day produced benign Leydig cell tumors in 35% of the high-dose male rats (AUC exposures in high-dose rats were approximately 1 to 2 times human AUC exposures with therapeutic doses). The increased incidence of Leydig cell tumors is secondary to elevated luteinizing hormone (LH) concentrations resulting from loss of feedback inhibition at the pituitary. Elevated LH and testosterone concentrations are not observed in castrated men receiving Nilutamide Tablets. Nilutamide had no effect on the incidence, size, or time of onset of any spontaneous tumor in rats. Nilutamide displayed no mutagenic effects in a variety of in vitro and in vivo tests (Ames test, mouse micronucleus test, and two chromosomal aberration tests). In reproduction studies in rats, nilutamide had no effect on the reproductive function of males and females, and no lethal, teratogenic, or growth-suppressive effects on fetuses were found. The maximal dose at which nilutamide did not affect reproductive function in either sex or have an effect on fetuses was estimated to be 45 mg/kg orally (AUC exposures in rats approximately 1 to 2 times human therapeutic AUC exposures). Pregnancy Animal reproduction studies have not been conducted with nilutamide. It is also not known whether nilutamide can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman or can affect reproductive capacity. Nilutamide should be given to a pregnant woman only if clearly needed. Pediatric Use Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been determined. Animal Pharmacology and Toxicology Administration of Nilutamide Tablets to beagle dogs resulted in drug-related deaths at dose levels that produce AUC exposures in dogs much lower than the AUC exposures of men receiving the therapeutic doses of 150 and 300 mg/day. Nilutamide-induced toxicity in dogs was cumulative with progressively lower doses producing death when given for longer durations. Nilutamide given to dogs at 60 mg/kg/day (1 to 2 times human AUC exposure) for 1 month produced 100% mortality. Administration of 20 and 30 mg/kg/day nilutamide (1/2 to 1 times human AUC exposure) for 6 months resulted in 20% and 70% mortality in treated dogs. Administration to dogs of 3, 6, and 12 mg/kg/day nilutamide (1/10 to 1/2 human AUC exposure) for 1 year resulted in 8%, 33%, and 50% mortality, respectively. A \"no-effect level\" for nilutamide-induced mortality in dogs was not identified. Pathology data from the one-year oral toxicity study suggest that the deaths in dogs were secondary to liver toxicity. Marked-to-massive hepatocellular swelling and vacuolization were observed in affected dogs. Liver toxicity in dogs was not consistently associated with elevations of liver enzymes. Administration of nilutamide to rats at a dose level of 45 mg/kg/day (AUC exposure in rats 1 to 2 times human therapeutic AUC exposures) for 18 months increased the incidence of lung pathology (granulomatous inflammation and chronic alveolitis). The hepatic and pulmonary adverse effects observed in nilutamide-treated animals and men are similar to effects observed with another nitroaromatic compound, nitrofurantoin. Nilutamide and nitrofurantoin are both metabolized in vitro to nitroanion free-radicals by microsomal NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase in the lungs and liver of rats and humans."],"how_supplied":["HOW SUPPLIED Nilutamide Tablets, 150 mg, are supplied in boxes of 30 tablets.

In animal studies, nilutamide has demonstrated antiandrogenic activity without other hormonal (estrogen, progesterone, mineralocorticoid, and glucocorticoid) effects. In vitro , nilutamide blocks the effects of testosterone at the androgen receptor level. In vivo , nilutamide interacts with the androgen receptor and prevents the normal androgenic response. Pharmacokinetics Absorption Analysis of blood, urine, and feces samples following a single oral 150-mg dose of [ 14 C]-nilutamide in patients with metastatic prostate cancer showed that the drug is rapidly and completely absorbed and that it yields high and persistent plasma concentrations. Distribution After absorption of the drug, there is a detectable distribution phase. There is moderate binding of the drug to plasma proteins and low binding to erythrocytes. The binding is nonsaturable except in the case of alpha-1-glycoprotein, which makes a minor contribution to the total concentration of proteins in the plasma. The results of binding studies do not indicate any effects that would cause nonlinear pharmacokinetics. Metabolism The results of a human metabolism study using 14 C-radiolabelled tablets show that nilutamide is extensively metabolized and less than 2% of the drug is excreted unchanged in urine after 5 days. Five metabolites have been isolated from human urine. Two metabolites display an asymmetric center, due to oxidation of a methyl group, resulting in the formation of D- and L-isomers. One of the metabolites was shown, in vitro , to possess 25 to 50% of the pharmacological activity of the parent drug, and the D-isomer of the active metabolite showed equal or greater potency compared to the L-isomer. However, the pharmacokinetics and the pharmacodynamics of the metabolites have not been fully investigated. Elimination The majority (62%) of orally administered [ 14 C]-nilutamide is eliminated in the urine during the first 120 hours after a single 150-mg dose. Fecal elimination is negligible, ranging from 1.4% to 7% of the dose after 4 to 5 days. Excretion of radioactivity in urine likely continues beyond 5 days. The mean elimination half-life of nilutamide determined in studies in which subjects received a single dose of 100 to 300 mg ranged from 38.0 to 59.1 hours with most values between 41 and 49 hours. The elimination of at least one metabolite is generally longer than that of unchanged nilutamide (59 to 126 hours). During multiple dosing of 150 mg nilutamide (given as 3 × 50 mg) twice a day, steady state was reached within 2 to 4 weeks for most patients, and mean steady state AUC 0–12 was 110% higher than the AUC 0–∞ obtained from the first 150 mg dose. These data and in vitro metabolism data suggest that, upon multiple dosing, metabolic enzyme inhibition may occur for this drug. Clinical Studies Nilutamide through its antiandrogenic activity can complement surgical castration, which suppresses only testicular androgens. The effects of the combined therapy were studied in patients with previously untreated metastatic prostate cancer. In a double-blind, randomized, multicenter study that enrolled 457 patients (225 treated with orchiectomy and Nilutamide Tablets, 232 treated with orchiectomy and placebo), the Nilutamide Tablets group showed a statistically significant benefit in time to progression and time to death.

The increased incidence of Leydig cell tumors is secondary to elevated luteinizing hormone (LH) concentrations resulting from loss of feedback inhibition at the pituitary. Elevated LH and testosterone concentrations are not observed in castrated men receiving Nilutamide Tablets. Nilutamide had no effect on the incidence, size, or time of onset of any spontaneous tumor in rats. Nilutamide displayed no mutagenic effects in a variety of in vitro and in vivo tests (Ames test, mouse micronucleus test, and two chromosomal aberration tests). In reproduction studies in rats, nilutamide had no effect on the reproductive function of males and females, and no lethal, teratogenic, or growth-suppressive effects on fetuses were found. The maximal dose at which nilutamide did not affect reproductive function in either sex or have an effect on fetuses was estimated to be 45 mg/kg orally (AUC exposures in rats approximately 1 to 2 times human therapeutic AUC exposures)."]},"tags":[{"label":"Androgen Receptor Inhibitor","category":"class"},{"label":"Small Molecule","category":"modality"},{"label":"Androgen receptor","category":"target"},{"label":"AR","category":"gene"},{"label":"L02BB02","category":"atc"},{"label":"Oral","category":"route"},{"label":"Tablet","category":"form"},{"label":"Off-Patent","category":"patent"},{"label":"Generic Available","category":"availability"},{"label":"Mature","category":"status"},{"label":"Metastatic Prostate Carcinoma","category":"indication"},{"label":"Advanz Pharma","category":"company"},{"label":"Approved 1990s","category":"decade"},{"label":"Androgen Antagonists","category":"pharmacology"},{"label":"Antineoplastic Agents","category":"pharmacology"},{"label":"Hormone Antagonists","category":"pharmacology"}],"phase":"marketed","safety":{"boxedWarnings":["Interstitial Pneumonitis Interstitial pneumonitis has been reported in 2% of patients in controlled clinical trials in patients exposed to nilutamide.
