The Committee, considering the Casodex Referral (bicalutamide 150 mg) made under article 31 of Directive 2001/ 83/ EC for medicinal products containing bicalutamide, reached the conclusion that bicalutamide 150mg is effective in the treatment of locally advanced prostate cancer; however the CHMP considered that the therapeutic indication should be restricted to: “ Bicalutamide 150mg is indicated either alone or as adjuvant to radical prostatectomy or radiotherapy in patients with locally advanced prostate cancer at high risk for disease progression”.
