Reporting on Apalutamide (Erleada) for Castrate Sensitive Prostate Cancer

The use of apalutamide (Erleada) improved radiographic progression-free survival with a 52% reduction in risk of death or radiographic progression; that benefit was observed across all subgroups analyzed in the TITAN TRIAL for men with progressing prostate cancer that is still hormone sensitive. The median radiographic progression-free survival was not reached in the apalutamide group and was 22.1 months in the placebo group.
