Prostate Cancer

The phase 3 TALAPRO-2 study met the primary end point of radiographic progression-free survival in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer with or without homologous recombination repair gene mutations following treatment with a combination of talazoparib and enzalutamide.

Results from the phase 3 TRITON3 trial demonstrated that radiographic progression-free survival was significantly improved when patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer were treated with rucaparib monotherapy vs physician’s choice.

A recent analysis of data from the phase 3 PEACE-1 study reveals a correlation between 8-month prostate-specific antigen levels and survival outcomes in patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer who are treated with systemic therapy regimens that include androgen deprivation therapy.

Results from the phase 3 KEYLYNK-010 study showed that treatment with pembrolizumab and olaparib did not result in a statistically significant improvement in survival despite yielding higher responses compared with novel hormonal agents in patients with previously treated prostate cancer.

A new drug application for 18F-rhPSMA-7.3 was accepted by the FDA to help with diagnostic imaging in prostate cancer.

Abiraterone and olaparib continued to demonstrate a positive trend in overall survival (OS) in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, according to Fred Saad, MD, FRCS, though he stated that longer follow-up is needed to confirm the benefit.

Tanya Dorff, MD, spoke about how CAR T-cell therapy could be a potential new addition to the prostate cancer treatment paradigm based on data from ongoing studies.

Before closing out their discussion on novel treatment approaches to metastatic CSPC, expert panelists share hope for further evolution in care.

Expert oncologists review key studies in the metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer treatment landscape and discuss how evidence can be applied to clinical practice to improve patient outcomes.

At 2022 ASCO, Tanya Dorff, MD, reviewed the use of CAR T cells in the treatment of prostate cancer.

Expert perspectives on the utilization of genomic profiling in patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer to impact treatment decisions.

A brief discussion on the use of doublet versus triplet therapy in patients with low-volume metastatic prostate cancer.

Findings from the phase 3 PRESTO trial indicated that patients with high-risk biochemically recurrent prostate cancer may derive benefit from treatment with androgen deprivation therapy intensification and apalutamide.

First results from the RADICALS-HD trial demonstrated improved metastasis-free survival with 2 years of androgen-deprivation therapy (ADT) plus radiotherapy in men with prostate cancer.

Result from the phase 3 KEYLINK-010 trial showed no statistically significant improvement in radiographic progression-free survival and overall survival when pembrolizumab and olaparib were used to treat molecularly unselected, previously treated metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer vs novel hormonal agents.

Patients with with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer continued to derive notable benefit from treatment with first-line olaparib plus abiraterone acetate and prednisone or prednisolone compared with abiraterone monotherapy.

Despite the combination of enzalutamide plus abiraterone acetate and prednisolone (AAP) falling short in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, although androgen deprivation therapy plus AAP resulted in a clinically meaningful overall survival benefit.

Antitumor activity and safety of pembrolizumab plus abiraterone acetate appears to be sustained in chemotherapy-naïve castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Expert panelists consider which factors would push them toward utilizing triplet therapy in patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer.

Centering discussion on a patient case of high-volume metastatic CSPC, expert panelists review the option of triplet therapy based on the PEACE-1 trial.

Ulka N. Vaishampayan, MBBS, discussed the potential benefits of oral docetaxel plus ritonavir in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Phillip H. Kuo, MD, PhD, spoke about incorporating prostate-specific membrane antigen–PET imaging into multidisciplinary care for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Findings from a study revealed a notable reduction in the risk of prostate cancer–specific mortality in Black United States veterans who underwent prostate-specific antigen screening, highlighting the potential importance of undergoing annual screenings in this patient population.

Investigators highlighted that when determining a treatment strategy for patients with early-stage prostate cancer, baseline benign prostate hyperplasia symptoms should be taken into consideration.

In light of the recent FDA approval of darolutamide plus docetaxel and androgen deprivation therapy in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, E. David Crawford, MD, discussed the research that paved the way for the regulatory decision and where future efforts need to be focused.
