3 active trials across 3 of our biomarkers, targeting androgen receptor. 2 active approvals for a biomarker on marked.bio.

Also known as MDV3100, Xtandi.

Counts only trials that select patients by one of the biomarkers on marked.bio, not every trial of this drug.

Approvals and pivotal results

Biomarker-selected approvals in the United States and the European Union, with the pivotal trial's results and side effects where we have them. Results from different trials are not directly comparable.
