id="Nilutamide.Introduction"><h3>Introduction</h3><p>Nilutamide is a first generation, oral nonsteroidal antiandrogen similar in structure to flutamide that is used in the therapy of prostate cancer. Nilutamide is associated with a low rate of serum aminotransferase elevations during therapy and with rare instances of clinically apparent, acute liver injury.</p></div><div id="Nilutamide.Background"><h3>Background</h3><p>Nilutamide (nye loo' ta mide) is an anilide nonsteroidal antiandrogen that blocks the binding of endogenous androgens to intracellular androgen receptors blocking their effects. Nilutamide has been shown to be effective in reducing pain and disease progression in metastatic prostate cancer when administered in conjunction with orchiectomy or other antiandrogen agents such as luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) agonists. Nilutamide was approved for use in the United States in 1996. Current indications are limited to the therapy of metastatic prostate cancer in combination with orchiectomy. Nilutamide is available generically and under the trade name Nilandron in 150 mg tablets, and the typically recommended dose is 300 mg daily starting at the time of orchiectomy with reduction of the dose to 150 mg daily one month later. Nilutamide is not approved for nor recommended for use in hyperandrogenic states such as hirsutism or acne. Common side effects include dizziness, impaired vision, fatigue, nausea, anorexia and weight loss. An uncommon but potentially serious adverse event is interstitial pneumonitis that occurs in approximately 2% of treated patients and that can progress to respiratory failure and death.</p></div><div id="Nilutamide.Hepatotoxicity"><h3>Hepatotoxicity</h3><p>In large registration clinical trials, ALT elevations occurred in 8% (range 2% to 33%) of patients during nilutamide therapy. The elevations were usually mild, asymptomatic and transient, requiring drug discontinuation in only 1% of treated patients. In rare instances, clinically apparent acute liver injury has occurred during nilutamide therapy, but the number of published cases are few, and the agent appears to be less hepatotoxic than flutamide. Nevertheless, fatal cases have been reported (Case 1). In reported cases, the latency to onset averaged 2 to 4 months and the clinical pattern of enzyme elevations was typically hepatocellular, thus largely resembling flutamide induced liver injury. Signs of hypersensitivity and autoimmunity were not common.</p><p>Likelihood score: C (probable cause of clinically apparent liver injury).</p></div><div id="Nilutamide.Mechanism_of_Injury"><h3>Mechanism of Injury</h3><p>The mechanism of nilutamide hepatotoxicity is unknown, but toxic metabolites of the agent may induce oxidative stress or interfere with mitochondrial function.</p></div><div id="Nilutamide.Outcome_and_Management"><h3>Outcome and Management</h3><p>The mild ALT elevations during nilutamide therapy are usually self-limiting even with continuation of the medication. The rare instances of clinically apparent liver injury are usually self-limiting, but several fatal instances have been reported. Monitoring of liver tests is recommended before starting treatment and at regular intervals thereafter, particularly during the first 4 months of treatment and therapy stopped if symptoms, jaundice or marked serum aminotransferase elevations arise. Rechallenge should be avoided. Patients with nilutamide hepatotoxicity should probably not receive flutamide and be given bicalutamide with caution.</p><p>Drug Class: <a href="/books/n/livertox/AntineoplasticAgents/?report=reader">Antineoplastic Agents</a>, <a href="/books/n/livertox/Anti-androgens/?report=reader">Antiandrogens</a></p></div></div><div id="Nilutamide.CASE_REPORTS"><h2 id="_Nilutamide_CASE_REPORTS_">CASE REPORTS</h2><div id="Nilutamide.Case_1_Acute_liver_failure_fr"><h3>Case 1. Acute liver failure from nilutamide therapy.(<a class="bibr" href="#Nilutamide.REF.1" rid="Nilutamide.REF.1">1</a>)</h3><p>A 65 year old man with prostate cancer developed jaundice 8 weeks after starting nilutamide for prostate cancer. Nilutamide was stopped promptly, but he continued to worsen and developed mental confusion and was admitted to a hospital. On examination, he was markedly jaundiced and had stage 2 hepatic encephalopathy (asterixis and confusion). His past medical history was negative for liver disease and he had no risk factors for viral hepatitis and rarely drank alcohol. He had been diagnosed with prostate cancer and underwent orchiectomy 3 months previously and was treated postoperatively for 3 weeks with norfloxacin and prednisolone. Liver tests were reported to be normal before he was started on nilutamide (150 mg/day) and leuprolide (an LHRH analog: 3.75 mg intramuscularly each month). At the time that nilutamide was stopped 8 weeks later, serum bilirubin was 7.5 mg/dL, and it rose rapidly thereafter (Table). Tests for hepatitis A, B and C, EBV and CMV as well as for autoantibodies were negative. Abdominal ultrasound showed no evidence of biliary disease. He developed progressive mental obtundation, coagulopathy and, not being a candidate for emergency liver transplantation, died 16 days after onset of jaundice. Post mortem liver biopsy showed massive necrosis with minimal fibrosis.</p><div id="Nilutamide.Key_Points"><h4>Key Points</h4><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col table-wrap" id="figNilutamideTc"><a href="/books/NBK548158/table/Nilutamide.Tc/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Table" class="img_link icnblk_img figpopup" rid-figpopup="figNilutamideTc" rid-ob="figobNilutamideTc"><img class="small-thumb" src="/books/NBK548158/table/Nilutamide.Tc/?report=thumb" src-large="/books/NBK548158/table/Nilutamide.Tc/?report=previmg" alt="Image " /></a><div class="icnblk_cntnt"><h4 id="Nilutamide.Tc"><a href="/books/NBK548158/table/Nilutamide.Tc/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobNilutamideTc">Table</a></h4></div></div></div><div id="Nilutamide.Laboratory_Values"><h4>Laboratory Values</h4><div class="iconblock whole_rhythm clearfix ten_col table-wrap" id="figNilutamideTd"><a href="/books/NBK548158/table/Nilutamide.Td/?report=objectonly" target="object" title="Table" class="img_link icnblk_img figpopup" rid-figpopup="figNilutamideTd" rid-ob="figobNilutamideTd"><img class="small-thumb" src="/books/NBK548158/table/Nilutamide.Td/?report=thumb" src-large="/books/NBK548158/table/Nilutamide.Td/?report=previmg" alt="Image " /></a><div class="icnblk_cntnt"><h4 id="Nilutamide.Td"><a href="/books/NBK548158/table/Nilutamide.Td/?report=objectonly" target="object" rid-ob="figobNilutamideTd">Table</a></h4></div></div></div><div id="Nilutamide.Comment"><h4>Comment</h4><p>Despite stopping nilutamide when jaundice was first identified, this patient developed progressive hepatic failure and died within weeks of onset of liver injury. The latency (2 months), pattern of serum enzyme elevations (markedly hepatocellular), and lack of other obvious causes for liver injury (viral hepatitis, alcoholism, biliary disease, ischemia) points strongly to the role of nilutamide.

He had noticed progressive shortness of breath over the previous 4 weeks and was found to have tachypnea and abnormal chest x-ray findings suggestive of interstitial pneumonitis. Nilutamide was stopped. At the same time, blood test results showed mild elevations in ALT and alkaline phosphatase in comparison to pretreatment values. However, serum bilirubin levels were normal (Table). There was no eosinophilia and no signs of chronic liver disease or hepatic decompensation. Tests for viral hepatitis and autoantibodies were negative. A lung biopsy showed interstitial pneumonitis. In follow up, serum enzyme levels fell to pretreatment levels. He recovered slowly from the pulmonary complication.

Symptoms and signs reverse slowly and only partially after therapy is stopped. This patient was also found to have minor ALT elevations but not clinically apparent liver disease during therapy. In most situations, such minor ALT elevations can be monitored without dose modification. The fact that this patient tolerated flutamide therapy without subsequent evidence of liver injury does not indicate that there is no cross reactivity in instances of clinically apparent hepatotoxicity between these two agents. Switching therapy to flutamide is not recommended for patients with clinically apparent liver injury from nilutamide.</p></div></div></div><div id="Nilutamide.PRODUCT_INFORMATION"><h2 id="_Nilutamide_PRODUCT_INFORMATION_">PRODUCT INFORMATION</h2><p>
