Mototsugu Oya, Professor and Chairman, Department of Urology, Keio University School of Medicine, Japan, said: “The PROpel trial showed that the combination of Lynparza plus abiraterone delivered clinically meaningful improvements in outcomes for patients with BRCA-mutated metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. With this approval, patients in Japan will now have the opportunity to benefit from this new treatment combination which has the potential to become the new standard of care for patients with BRCA mutations.”
