The so-called COMET-1 study enrolled 960 men with advanced prostate cancer no longer responding to treatment with the chemotherapy drug docetaxel, Johnson & Johnson's Zytiga and/or Medivation's Xtandi. The patients were randomized to treatment with cabozantinib or the steroid prednisone and followed for survival. As reported Monday, cabozantinib reduced the risk of death by 10% compared to prednisone but the difference was not statistically significant. The study failed to achieve its primary endpoint.
