The next-generation oral antiandrogen product apalutamide (Erleada, Janssen), is approaching approval in Europe for use in nonmetastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC).

The positive opinion will now be reviewed by the European Commission, which approves products for use in the European Union.
