Announcement
AstraZeneca announced that Positive high-level results from the CAPItello-281 Phase III trial showed that AstraZeneca's Truqap (capivasertib) in combination with abiraterone and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) demonstrated a statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvement in the primary endpoint of radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) versus abiraterone and ADT with placebo in patients with PTEN-deficient de novo metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC).
AI Summary
AstraZeneca announced positive high-level results from the CAPItello-281 Phase III trial. The study found that TRUQAP (capivasertib), when combined with abiraterone and androgen deprivation therapy (ADT), significantly improved radiographic progression-free survival (rPFS) compared to abiraterone and ADT with a placebo. This trial specifically focused on patients with PTEN-deficient de novo metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, an aggressive form with poor outcomes.
Although overall survival data remains immature, early trends suggest a potential benefit. This marks the first time an AKT inhibitor has shown benefit in this specific prostate cancer subtype, offering a promising new treatment option for a patient population with limited alternatives.
