Emerging Real-World Evidence Suggests Differential Outcomes Between Abiraterone and Darolutamide in Hormone-Sensitive Prostate Cancer

/in /by

Agents such as abiraterone and darolutamide have demonstrated significant survival benefits in randomized clinical trials, yet direct comparative evidence between these therapies, particularly in the pre-chemotherapy setting, remains notably absent. A recent retrospective cohort analysis leveraging the TriNetX database attempts to address this gap by comparing real-world outcomes in patients treated with ADT plus either […]

Capivasertib + Abiraterone in CAPItello-281: Promising rPFS in PTEN-Deficient mHSPC

/in , , /by

The phase 3 trial CAPItello-281, has delivered compelling evidence that capivasertib combined with abiraterone could transform treatment for PTEN-deficient metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC), a subtype affecting a substantial portion of advanced cases. In this double-blind study, 1012 patients with PTEN deficiency (defined rigorously as 90% or more viable malignant cells showing no cytoplasmic staining […]

BRCAAway OS Update: Abiraterone + Olaparib Extends Survival by 5 Years in HRRm mCRPC

/in , , /by

The BRCAAway trial brings strong new data on treating metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, or mCRPC, in patients with specific DNA repair defects known as homologous recombination repair mutations, or HRRm. This phase 2 study tested abiraterone alone, olaparib alone, or the two drugs together as first-line therapy. It focused on patients with germline or somatic […]

Phase 3 PRESTO Trial Results: Apalutamide Extends Progression Free Survival

/in , , /by

The PRESTO trial, a phase 3 open-label study, evaluated androgen blockade intensification in patients with high-risk biochemically relapsed prostate cancer after radical prostatectomy. This population featured rapid PSA doubling times and no detectable metastases. The study randomized 504 patients to 52 weeks of treatment with either androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) alone, ADT plus apalutamide, or […]
