The approval is supported by data from the phase 3 EMBARK trial, which demonstrated that enzalutamide with or without leuprolide prolonged metastasis-free survival compared with leuprolide alone in patients with high-risk biochemically recurrent nmHSPC.

In this podcast episode, Adam B. Murphy, MD, MBA, MSCI, discusses the need to increase diversity in clinical trials, specifically focusing on studies in prostate cancer.

“We are hopeful that this therapy will help patients with prostate cancer and that this study will be just the first step towards the effective treatment of other bone tumors,” said Daniel Abate-Daga, PhD.

Zeyad Schwen, MD, a urologic oncologist at Cleveland Clinic, discusses how patient factors and cancer characteristics are key to deciding between focal therapies and whole gland treatment for prostate cancer.

"Our clinical trial is the first to show a longer time to biochemical recurrence with chemotherapy plus standard hormone therapy for patients with locally advanced, high-risk prostate cancer," says Jiahua Pan, MD.

"The new results show that the 3-step method now used produces fewer insignificant cancer diagnoses than PSA screening,” says Anssi Auvinen, MD, PhD.
