TITAN Study Leads to FDA Approval of Apalutamide for Patients with Metastatic Castration-Sensitive Prostate Cancer

Posted by Kim N. Chi, MD | Sep 2019

Kim N. Chi, MD, and E. David Crawford, MD, discuss the findings of the TITAN study regarding the use of apalutamide in patients with castration-sensitive prostate cancer (mCSPC) who are also undergoing androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). These findings led to the FDA approval of apalutamide for these patients. The results showed a significant reduction in radiographic progression or death and a reduction in overall risk of death, and therefore support the addition of apalutamide to ADT for a broad range of patients with mCSPC. Apalutamide was initially approved in 2018 for patients with non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.
