New Protocol: Capivasertib with Abiraterone for PTEN-Deficient Prostate Cancer

Capivasertib plus abiraterone showed a significant improvement in radiographic progression-free survival compared to placebo in patients with PTEN-deficient metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer. The treatment was generally well-tolerated with manageable side effects. Overall survival data were immature at the time of analysis.
