Phase III Trial Comparing Orteronel (TAK-700) Plus Prednisone Against Placebo Plus Prednisone Fails

Reporting both negative clinical trial results is as important as reporting positive results. However, pharmaceutical companies often bury negative results. Fortunately (actually unfortunately because there were negative results) a Phase III, randomized, double-blind, multicenter trial comparing orteronel (TAK-700) plus prednisone with placebo plus prednisone in men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) that has progressed [...]

Attacking Androgen Receptor Signaling In Castrate Resistant Prostate Cancer

Advanced prostate cancer eventually progresses and becomes castration resistant (CRPC) despite the fact that it is exquisitely sensitivity to androgen deprivation therapy. There has been recent evidence that prostate cancer progression at the CRPC stage is still mediated by androgen receptor signaling, so it seems that subsequent androgen receptor targeting may further contribute to disease [...]

New Approved Drugs Keep Us in the Proverbial Pickle

The FDA has approved sipuleucel-T (Provenge), cabazitaxel (Jevtana) and last week it also approved abiraterone (Zytiga).
