There are many other agents being tested for the treatment of patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, explains Agarwal. The SWOG-1216 trial is testing TAK-700, which is similar to abiraterone acetate (Zytiga). This trial has finished accrual and, if results are positive, it can be a potential option for patients.

A novel androgen receptor-blocker, ARN-509, is another agent in an ongoing trial that could be a potential option if it shows promise, states Agarwal.
