Final ASCO today: Cabaxitaxel (Jevtana) looking good, but trial too small to be sure

[Admin]

In short

It looks like cabazitaxel (Jevtana) might be more useful in metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer than abiraterone (Zytiga) or enzalutamide (Xtandi).

However, the clinical trial did not gather enough men to be sure.

So it will be up to the clinical judgment of your specialist.

In Australia, cabazitaxel, is on the PBS after you have had docetaxel chemotherapy.
