Xtandi, Tecentrique: Rash Solutions?

Nov 28, 2017 - 6:26 pm
Does anyone have any relief suggestion or experience combatting a severe, full-body rash that has developed while on these drugs? I see that rash and itching are shown as side effects (of which drug, I don't readily recall) and I have developed both conditions. A truly maddening itch! Thanks. |

prednisone
Have you tried prednisone? I am taking prednisone in conjunction w/ Zytiga.

Lotion?
Hi,
Did you try calamine lotion(pink stuff). I had a bumpy rash in the small of my back and it cleared it up and also provided itch relief. Cheap solution if it works?

Ask the docs running the trial
I didn't know what Tecentriq was and found out that this is a (monoclonal antibody) PDL-1 inhibitor. Because this immunotherapy hasn't been approved for prostate cancer, it appears that you are participating in a clinical trial (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT03016312). Thus, I would recommend that you bring your concern to the trial doctor(s). They should take really good care of their patients...
PS: I doubt that prednisone would be allowed in this trial to help with the rash since it is an immunosuppressant.
