Clinical Pearls:
- A phase III trial of custirsen in combination with docetaxel has been conducted and results are expected to be available within a year
- Based on a phase II trial, the combination appeared to be more effective than docetaxel when used as mono therapy
- This phase III trial will determine if custirsen plus docetaxel is more effective than docetaxel alone for patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer
