Nicholas Turner, MD, PhD, Professor of Molecular Oncology at The Institute of Cancer Research, London, and The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK, and principal investigator in the CAPItello-291 Phase III trial, said: “The CAPItello-291 Phase III trial results show capivasertib offers a clinically meaningful improvement in progression free survival for patients with HR-positive breast cancer.
