Results from two of the comparisons of the STAMPEDE trial, adding the drug celecoxib (with or without zoledronic acid) to long-term hormone therapy for men with prostate cancer, were published yesterday in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. Overall, the results show no benefit in survival of adding either celecoxib alone, or celecoxib plus zoledronic acid, to long-term hormone therapy, but there are results of significant interest in the sub-group analyses.
