For many patients, especially those showing poor response to initial therapy, avacopan may provide a safer and potentially more efficacious treatment for AAV.

The findings of this cohort study suggest that use of BMAs was associated with a longer time to SRE in patients with high-risk mCSPC treated with ADT, with or without AAP, suggesting that BMA use might provide benefits to this population.
