Posted Oct 04 2010 12:00am

The “New” Prostate Cancer InfoLink has learned that the results of the Phase III clinical trial of abiraterone acetate + prednisone in patients who progressed after treatment with docetaxel-based chemotherapy will be presented on October 11 at the annual meeting of the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) in Milan, Italy.

As previously reported , we know that the results of this trial are positive. This is confirmed by the title of the actual presentation: “Abiraterone acetate (AA) plus low dose prednisone (P) improves overall survival (OS) in patients (pts) with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) who have progressed after docetaxel-based chemotherapy (chemo): Results of COU-AA-301, a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled phase III study.” The actual presentation will be given by Dr. Johann de Bono one of the principal investigators for this trial.
