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...
