Trial or other data
Feb 21Results announced at the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) Genitourinary Cancers Symposium showed the ACIS study (NCT02257736) met its main goal of radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS). But it did not show a significant benefit over Zytiga alone in secondary goals including overall survival. Janssen said data from patient subgroups with luminal type in a PAM50 test, and tumours with average or high androgen receptor activity, warrant further investigation [10].
