Novel molecules called selective androgen receptor degraders (SARDs) may offer the next generation of treatment options for advanced prostate cancer, a new industry-sponsored study reports. The results of this research will be presented Saturday, April 1, at ENDO 2017, the 99th annual meeting of the Endocrine Society, in Orlando, Fla.
“If successful in the clinic, the novel highly potent SARDs discovered in this program could be used to treat many of the most aggressive and currently untreatable forms of prostate cancer,” said senior author and principal investigator Ramesh Narayanan, Ph.D., associate professor and director of the Center for Cancer Drug Discovery at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis, Tenn.
