SAN FRANCISCO—Orteronel — a non-steroidal selective inhibitor of 17,20-lyase — did not achieve a significant improvement in overall survival in 1099 patients randomised to treatment with this “abiraterone-like” agent in comparison with placebo — though radiographic progression-free survival was improved. This finding at the 2014 ASCO Genitourinary Cancers Symposium was presented by Robert Dreicer MD from the Taussig Cancer Institute, Cleveland Clinic, in Cleveland Ohio. He discussed the clinical implications and noted that research is making progress in this challenging clinical situation.
