TRUQAP® (capivasertib) combination approved in the US as first and only targeted treatment for PTEN-deficient metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer

AI Insight:This approval marks a significant milestone in the treatment of PTEN-deficient prostate cancer, offering patients a targeted therapy option.

AstraZeneca's TRUQAP® (capivasertib) in combination with abiraterone and prednisone has been approved in the US as the first and only targeted treatment for PTEN-deficient metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. This approval is based on the results of the Phase III PROPEL trial, which demonstrated a statistically significant improvement in overall survival for patients receiving the TRUQAP® combination compared to those receiving abiraterone and prednisone alone. The PROPEL trial enrolled 806 patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, of whom 23% had PTEN loss or low PTEN expression. The results of this trial highlight the importance of PTEN status in guiding treatment decisions for patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer and underscore the potential of TRUQAP® as a targeted therapy for this patient population.
