Androgen receptor (AR) splice variants (SV) have been implicated in the development of
metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer and resistance to AR targeting therapies,
including abiraterone and enzalutamide. Agents targeting AR-SV are urgently needed to test
this hypothesis and further improve the outcome of patients suffering from this lethal disease.
