Final Overall Survival Results from the PROpel Phase 3 Trial in First-line Therapy for mCRPC - Fred Saad

Details
Fred Saad joins Alicia Morgans in a discussion on the final overall survival data from the PROpel trial, a randomized controlled trial aimed to address the first-line mCRPC question in patients who have not been treated with a novel hormonal agent in the mCRPC setting. Patients were randomized to receive abiraterone and prednisone or abiraterone and olaparib. The trial's primary endpoint was radio...

Clinically Relevant Biomarkers in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer - Noel Clarke

Details
Alicia Morgans is joined by Noel Clarke to discuss his work in clinically relevant biomarkers in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). Professor Clarke emphasizes the importance of using the available data that you have, keeping the patient at the very center of your thought processes, and regarding the patient as a whole rather than someone with prostate cancer. He highlights factors such...

Rucaparib for Patients with Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer in the TRITON3 Trial – Oliver Sartor

Details
Oliver Sartor and Alicia Morgans discuss the TRITON 3 clinical trial. TRITON 3 is a phase three clinical trial observing how patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer with a homologous recombination gene deficiency respond to treatment with rucaparib versus treatment with a physician’s choice of abiraterone, enzalutamide, or docetaxel. Results found that rucaparib improved radi...

Rucaparib Monotherapy Improves Radiographic Progression-Free Survival in Patients With Metastatic Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer: TRITON3 Trial - Alan Bryce
