What is Calutide (Bicalutamide)?

Calutide contains bicalutamide, an oral non-steroidal anti-androgen. The Calutide-50 carton states 50 mg tablets, 10 tablets per pack.

How it works, according to the label: The reference label describes bicalutamide as an androgen receptor inhibitor, which blocks the action of androgens such as testosterone at the receptor.


Indications as Listed in the Reference Label

The current US prescribing information for Casodex® (bicalutamide tablets) (DailyMed) lists the following. Indications in India may differ and are defined by the Indian regulator and the Calutide pack insert.

  • Use of bicalutamide 50 mg daily in combination therapy with an LHRH analog for the treatment of Stage D2 metastatic carcinoma of the prostate
  • The label states that bicalutamide 150 mg daily is not approved for use alone or with other treatments

Clinical Studies and Evidence

The Casodex label summarises its Clinical Studies section, including a controlled trial comparing bicalutamide plus an LHRH analog with flutamide plus an LHRH analog in metastatic prostate cancer. Full results are in the Casodex prescribing information. Evidence is cited for information only and is not a recommendation for any patient; the approved prescribing information governs.
