NCT01436968 (CAN2409 in localized prostate cancer): BVCT ex-ante prediction vs. reported outcome

On 6 Aug 2024, BioinvestGPT's BVCT predicted technical failure and commercial failure for this trial. The 11 Dec 2024 readout is classified on the dashboard as True Negative (TN), a correct prediction. Recorded clinical-benefit conclusion: statistically significant yet weak (borderline for DFS) and commercially insufficient (for OS).

Readout Data Interpretation
CAN2409 + RT achieved statistically significant 14.5% relative improvement in DFS at month 54 (not the prespecified month 60) over RT alone (p=0.0155); CAN2409 + RT probably failed to achieve statistical significance in OS improvement (no mentioning of OS data in the topline readout)

Primary outcomes
  • Disease free survival defined as the time from randomization until the date of the first failure event will be compared for the ProstAtak® arm versus the placebo control arm. The analyses will be based on the intent to treat population. (Assessed at each visit every 6 months through year 5 until event occurs.)
