Pfizer Inc. said the Phase 3 trial studying its drug Talzenna as
a treatment for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer
reached its primary endpoint, with significant improvement shown in
radiographic progression-free survival.
The trial compared the use of Talzenna and Xtandi, another of
Pfizer's prostate cancer medications, with the use of a placebo and
Xtandi.
Pfizer said Tuesday that results showed a trend toward improved
overall survival, which was a key secondary endpoint, though the
company noted that the data were not yet mature at the time of
analysis. Other secondary endpoints are still being analyzed.
Detailed results will be submitted for presentation at a
near-term medical congress, Pfizer said.
