In the paper below the Docs speculate on why some patients with progression on Xtandi who received Ketruda had dramatic results which was not seen previously.

In this study patients with mCRPC could not have received prior chemo...maybe it would be better to try this first with progression on Xtandi and only add chemo to the mix if this fails

I can understand why a study wouldn't want chemo patients. But if this is an effective treatment why couldn't a chemo patient get it?
