Erleada (apalutamide) is an anti-androgen. It works in the body by preventing the actions of androgens (male hormones).
Erleada is used to treat prostate cancer that has spread to other parts of the body (metastatic) and is also being treated with another medicine or with surgery.
This medicine is also used to treat prostate cancer that has not spread to other parts of the body, after surgery or other cancer treatments did not work or have stopped working.
Erleada is used together with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) or with surgical castration (removal of the testicles).
