Lynparza + abiraterone approved in the EU in 1L metastatic CRPC based on Ph 3 PROpel trial results
Dave Fredrickson, Executive Vice President, Oncology Business Unit, AstraZeneca, said: “Many patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer are only able to receive one line of active therapy, as the disease can progress quickly. Lynparza in combination with abiraterone has been shown to reduce the risk of disease progression by 34% versus the standard of care treatment in the PROpel trial. Moreover, the combination of Lynparza with abiraterone as a first-line treatment expands the use of Lynparza to a broader group of metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients than those treated with Lynparza alone in the second-line setting in the PROfound trial. Today’s approval marks a significant advance toward addressing the unmet need of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer in the EU.”
