Targeted Inhibition of CYP11A1 in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer
Abstract:
In the Original Article, "Targeted Inhibition of CYP11A1 in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer", originally published December 26, 2023 (DOI: https://doi.org/10.1056/EVIDoa2300171), in the Abstract, under "Background", the sentence "ODM-208, a novel inhibitor of cytochrome P450 17A1 …" should have read "ODM-208, a novel inhibitor of cytochrome P450 11A1…" A corrected version of the article has been posted at evidence.nejm.org.
Insights
A correction has been issued for an article on ODM-208, a novel inhibitor of cytochrome P450 11A1. The updated abstract clarifies the drug
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Pharmacology
Background:
- Original article identified a novel inhibitor, ODM-208.
- The inhibitor targets cytochrome P450 11A1 (CYP11A1).
Purpose of the Study:
- To correct a factual error in the original abstract regarding the targeted enzyme.
- To ensure accurate representation of ODM-208's mechanism of action.
Main Methods:
- Review and correction of the published abstract.
- Issuance of a corrected version of the article.
Main Results:
- The abstract initially misidentified the target enzyme as CYP17A1.
- The corrected abstract accurately states ODM-208 inhibits CYP11A1.
Conclusions:
- The correction ensures scientific accuracy regarding ODM-208's role in castration-resistant prostate cancer research.
- Accurate information is crucial for understanding targeted therapies in oncology.
