Neeraj Agarwal, MD, on Prostate Cancer: Apalutamide vs Placebo in Treatment of Metastatic Disease

2021 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium

Advertisement

Neeraj Agarwal, MD, of Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah, discusses final results of the phase III TITAN study, which showed apalutamide plus androgen-deprivation therapy improved overall survival, reducing the risk of death up to 48%. This combination treatment also delayed castration resistance and maintained health-related quality of life for patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer (Abstract 11).

Christopher Sweeney, MBBS, of Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, discusses phase III findings from the IPATential150 trial, which showed the effectiveness of ipatasertib plus abiraterone as first-line treatment in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer vs placebo plus abiraterone. Analyses of biomarkers linked to the PI3K/AKT pathway, a subtype with a poor prognosis, further support this therapeutic option (Abstract 13).
