    Prof Stephane Oudard (Georges Pompidou Hospital, Paris, France) and Prof Noel Clarke (The Christie Hospital, Manchester, UK) discuss the implications of negative trial results with ecancertv at ASCO GU 2015 with special focus on the following abstracts: COMET-1: Cabozantinib versus prednisone in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients previously treated with docetaxel and abiraterone and/or enzalutamide. COMET-2 Final analysis of COMET-2: Cabozantinib versus mitoxantrone/prednisone in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients with moderate to severe pain who were previously treated with docetaxel and abiraterone and/or enzalutamide.

    Dr Naomi Balzer-Haas talks to ecancertv at ASCO GU 2015 about the initial results from the phase III ASSURE trial. It appears that adjuvant sorafenib or sunitinib do not benefit patients with unfavourable locally advanced renal carcinoma, but these findings raise more questions.

    Dr Parker talks to ecancertv at ASCO GU 2015 about some of the most interesting and provocative research in genitourinary cancers emerging from the symposium. He addresses the ASCENDE-RT trial, comparing external beam therapy vs. brachyotherapy, discusses the update of the GETUG-15 trial, and touches on the controversial and exciting results of the MCR-PR07 trial on statins.

    Dr Mark Beresford talks to ecancertv at ASCO GU 2015 reflecting on the initial results of the ASSURE trial where adjuvant treatment with sorafenib or sunitinib is used for localised renal carcinoma. Neither sorafenib nor sunitinib provide improved outcomes. Other trials such as SORCE which looks at sorafenib and ATLAS which looks at axitinib question the duration of treatment.

    Dr Voss talks to ecancertv at ASCO GU 2015 on part 1 of the DART Study, a phase II randomised trial using dalantercept plus axitinib versus placebo plus axitinib in advanced clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Results have shown that the combination of dalantercept and axitinib is well tolerated and demonstrated and associated with encouraging activity in patients with prior VEGF, mTOR, and immune therapies.

    Dr Gwenaëlle Gravis talks to ecancertv at ASCO GU 2015 about the results of the GETUG-AFU 15 phase III trial. Long-term follow-up results suggest that the addition of docetaxel to androgen deprivation therapy did not significantly improve overall survival in patients with hormone-naïve metastatic prostate cancer.
