ASCO: You’re listening to a podcast from Cancer.Net. This cancer information website is produced by the American Society of Clinical Oncology, known as ASCO, the world’s leading professional organization for doctors who care for people with cancer.

Guests on this podcast express their own opinions, experience, and conclusions. The mention of any product, service, organization, activity, or therapy should not be construed as an ASCO endorsement. Cancer research discussed in this podcast is ongoing, so clinical trials described here may no longer be enrolling patients, and final results are not yet available.   Before any new cancer treatment can be approved for general use, it must be studied in a clinical trial in order to prove it is safe and effective. In today’s podcast, members of the Cancer.Net Editorial Board discuss 3 clinical trials that are exploring new treatment options across prostate, bladder, and kidney cancer. This podcast will be led by Dr. Timothy Gilligan, Dr. Neeraj Agarwal, Dr. Tian Zhang, and Dr. Brian Shuch. Dr. Gilligan is an Associate Professor and Medical Oncologist at the Cleveland Clinic Taussig Cancer Center. He has no relevant relationships to disclose. Dr. Agarwal directs the Genitourinary Oncology Program at the Huntsman Cancer Institute at the University of Utah. He has served in a consulting or advisory role for Janssen and Bristol-Myers Squibb. Dr. Zhang is an assistant professor of medicine at Duke University School of Medicine and is a medical oncologist at Duke Cancer Institute. She has served in a consulting or advisory role for Janssen and Bristol-Myers Squibb. Dr. Shuch is the director of the Kidney Cancer Program at UCLA Health and the Alvin & Carrie Meinhardt Endowed Chair in Kidney Cancer Research at the institution. He has served in a consulting or advisory role for Bristol-Myers Squibb. View full disclosures for Dr. Gilligan, Dr. Agarwal, Dr. Zhang, and Dr. Shuch  at Cancer.Net. Dr. Gilligan: Hi, I'm Dr. Timothy Gilligan from the Cleveland Clinic Taussig Cancer Institute. I'm joined today by Dr. Neeraj Agarwal from the Huntsman Cancer Institute and the University of Utah and Dr. Tian Zhang from the Duke Cancer Institute and Brian Shuch from the UCLA Institute of Urologic Oncology. Today, we're going to discuss 3 ongoing trials in prostate cancer, bladder cancer, and kidney cancer. As you may know, clinical trial are the way that doctors are able to find better treatment for diseases like cancer. Patient participation is vital for clinical trials. By participating in the clinical trial, you can directly help researchers develop better treatment, reduce side effects, and even reduce the risk of cancer altogether. The 3 trials we'll discuss today were chosen by members of the Cancer.Net Editorial Board Genitourinary Cancers Panel from the trials in progress abstracts that were presented at ASCO 2020 Genitourinary Cancers Symposium. Because these are ongoing clinical trials, final results from these studies are not yet available. I'd like to note that none of us have any direct involvement in any of these trials. To view our full disclosures, please visit the show notes for this episode on Cancer.Net. We're going to start with Dr. Agarwal and a study looking at prostate cancer, the MAGNITUDE trial. [A Study of Niraparib in Combination With Abiraterone Acetate and Prednisone Versus Abiraterone Acetate and Prednisone for Treatment of Participants With Metastatic Prostate Cancer (MAGNITUDE)] Dr. Agarwal, can you tell us a little bit about this study? Dr. Agarwal: This is a large phase III trial of 1,000 patients. This trial includes patients who have progressive, metastatic, castrate-resistant prostate cancer and have never received any other systemic therapy for their castrate-resistant prostate
