- Treatment options in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have soft-tissue progression after second-generation anti-androgen therapies are limited. Single-agent studies of cabozantinib, a tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) that regulates cell growth, angiogenesis, and immune cell regulation, and the anti-PD-L1 antibody atezolizumab each showed limited efficacy as monotherapy.

- Speaking with Alicia Morgans, Karim Fizazi discusses the final overall survival analysis of the PROSPER study in nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Enzalutamide has previously been shown to postpone the time to metastasis or death. Data presented at ASCO 2020 demonstrated that overall survival is significantly improved in patients receiving enzalutamide — median overall survival w...
