Hi @glennh23 The word "new" is relative. What is new in UK is not as new in USA. Or in Canada. In this support group, there have been several posts about the new drug's effectiveness. But thanks for your post.b

glennh23, It seems to be more effective than lupron without flares and a quicker return of testosterone after treatment. While it was approved here in 2021, it has been a slow pickup.
Not exactly fun, though. It has a higher patient rating than lupron, meaning the side effects weren't as bad.
