BALANCE trial evaluates PAM50 in recurrent prostate cancer.
295 men participated, assigned to apalutamide or placebo.
Luminal B tumors showed 72 percent success rate with apalutamide.
Non-luminal B tumors showed minimal difference in results.
First validation of a predictive biomarker for non-metastatic prostate cancer.
Helps integrate biomarkers into clinical workflows.
PAM50 test available via Veracyte’s Decipher GRID.
