Extended read
Johnson & Johnson has released positive results from its Phase 3 PROTEUS study, demonstrating the efficacy of ERLEADA (apalutamide) in treating prostate cancer. The study found that ERLEADA, when combined with hormone therapy both before and after surgery, significantly reduced the risk of metastasis or death by 20%. Furthermore, this combination therapy led to a nine-fold increase in pathologic complete response rates compared to hormone therapy alone. These findings suggest a potential shift in the standard treatment paradigm for prostate cancer.
