A section on clinical trials could note significant phase II results, and any progress on the phase III trials. - Rod57 (talk) 18:19, 8 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

interim analysis of phase III SPARTAN announced [1] "The median metastasis-free survival time was 40.5 months and 16.2 months in the apalutamide and placebo groups, respectively (hazard ratio, 0.28; 95% CI, 0.23–0.55; P < .001)." - awaiting publication ? - Rod57 (talk) 14:19, 12 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
