Patent Litigation and PTAB cases: See patent lawsuits and PTAB cases for patent 11,963,952
Patent Claims: 1. A method for treating metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer in a male human consisting essentially of administering a therapeutically effective amount of an anti-androgen to a male human with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer, wherein the anti-androgen is 4-[7-(6-cyano-5-trifluoromethylpyridin-3-yl)-8-oxo-6-thioxo-5,7-diazaspiro[3.4]oct-5-yl]-2-fluoro-N-methylbenzamide.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein administration of the anti-androgen provides an increase in overall survival of the male human relative to the overall survival rate of a population of male humans with the metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer, said population having been administered a placebo in combination with an androgen deprivation therapy.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein administration of the anti-androgen provides an increase in progression-free survival of the male human relative to the progression-free survival rate of a population of male humans with the metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer, said population having been administered a placebo in combination with an androgen deprivation therapy.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein 4-[7-(6-cyano-5-trifluoromethylpyridin-3-yl)-8-oxo-6-thioxo-5,7-diazaspiro[3.4]oct-5-yl]-2-fluoro-N-methylbenzamide is administered orally to the male human.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein 4-[7-(6-cyano-5-trifluoromethylpyridin-3-yl)-8-oxo-6-thioxo-5,7-diazaspiro[3.4]oct-5-yl]-2-fluoro-N-methylbenzamide is administered orally to the male human at a dose of about 240 mg per day.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the dose of 4-[7-(6-cyano-5-trifluoromethylpyridin-3-yl)-8-oxo-6-thioxo-5,7-diazaspiro[3.4]oct-5-yl]-2-fluoro-N-methylbenzamide is decreased to 180 mg per day or 120 mg per day if the male human experiences a greater than or equal to Grade 3 toxicity.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the dose of 4-[7-(6-cyano-5-trifluoromethylpyridin-3-yl)-8-oxo-6-thioxo-5,7-diazaspiro[3.4]oct-5-yl]-2-fluoro-N-methylbenzamide is decreased to 180 mg per day if the male human experiences a greater than or equal to Grade 3 toxicity.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the dose of 4-[7-(6-cyano-5-trifluoromethylpyridin-3-yl)-8-oxo-6-thioxo-5,7-diazaspiro[3.4]oct-5-yl]-2-fluoro-N-methylbenzamide is decreased to 120 mg per day if the male human experiences a greater than or equal to Grade 3 toxicity.
