Summary:
The Olaparib + Abiraterone combo posted a median OS of 42.1 months versus 34.7 months for Abiraterone + placebo.
The result represents a 7.4-month absolute difference in median OS versus a standard of care (HR – 0.81)
Earlier in Dec 2022, FDA extendedthe PDUFA date on the priority review by 3 months (now expected in mid- march)
In EU, the combo was approvedin Dec 2022 for the ‘all-comer’ mCRPC population
CI Scientists Commentary:
The mOS data supports the ‘all-comer’ label for 1L mCRPC, which is expected to receive US FDA approval in mid-march (earlier delayed by 3 months for full review)
The ‘all-comer’ label provides an advantage over its competitor Akeega (positive CHMP opinion for BRCA1/2m, EU only)
