This study showed no significant impact of age on the pharmacokinetic profiles of abiraterone acetate and enzalutamide, except for the active metabolite D4A and the inactive metabolite carboxylic acid enzalutamide, both having significantly higher exposure in older males. Target attainments of abiraterone and enzalutamide were not significantly affected by age, which suggests that age has no clinically relevant impact on exposure to these oral antiandrogen therapies. However, the clinical impact of higher exposure to D4A in older males remains undetermined.
