Biomarkers for bone formation and resorption predict outcomes for men with castration-resistant prostate cancer, a team of researchers has found. Their study also found that the markers identified a small group of patients who responded to the investigational drug atrasentan. The markers’ predictive ability could help clinicians match treatments with individual patients, track their effectiveness and affect clinical trial design.
