Prostate Cancer

Discover the latest advancements in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer care, including personalized treatment strategies and emerging therapies.

Gedatolisib showed promising ORRs when given in combination with darolutamide and trastuzumab biosimilar in mCRPC and mBC, respectively.

225Ac-LNC1011 targeted α therapy elicited an ORR of 50.0% in patients with PSMA-positive prostate cancer in a phase 1 trial.

Results from a retrospective study show that 177Lu-PSMA-617 retreatment led to a median OS of 14.5 months in castration-resistant prostate cancer.

The FDA did not expand the indication to include patients with non–homologous recombination repair gene mutated castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Experts weigh in on the practical applications of PSMA PET imaging

Manojkumar Bupathi, MD, MS; Benjamin Garmezy, MD; Mike Lattanzi, MD, and x Damian N. Sorce, MD discuss how the practical applications of PSMA PET imaging, risk stratification, and evolving treatment strategies for advanced prostate cancer.

The combination of olaparib and radium-223 improved rPFS in castration-resistant prostate cancer without prior docetaxel treatment or with fewer than 20 bone metastases.

Results from the phase 3 ARANOTE trial demonstrated a statistically meaningful improvement to rPFS with darolutamide vs placebo.

The addition of CAN-2409 to a prodrug and radiation therapy in intermediate-to-high-risk prostate cancer significantly improved cancer-specific outcomes.

Niraparib plus abiraterone acetate and prednisone significantly reduced the risk of symptomatic progression in patients with BRCA-mutated metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer.

SBRT did not significantly impact response when added to nivolumab/ipilimumab for patients with mCRPC.

Full results from the phase 3 trial supporting CAN-2409 plus valacyclovir and radiation therapy in this indication will be presented at the 2025 ASCO Annual Meeting.

Decipher Prostate, Oncotype DX, and Prolaris are 3 gene expression testing options for patients with prostate cancers. Read as experts discuss them.

Eight votes were cast against the favorability of talazoparib and enzalutamide in the first-line setting for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Following a positive meeting with the FDA, PT-112 is set to advance to a phase 3 trial for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Findings from prior studies, such as the phase 3 VISION trial, may support the notion of combining radiopharmaceuticals with best supportive care.

Beta emitters such as lutetium Lu 177 rosopatamab may offer built-in PSMA imaging during the treatment of patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

The 1.5T Elekta Unity MR-Linac demonstrated lower rates of erectile dysfunction with neurovascular sparing vs without in patients with intermediate-risk prostate cancer.

Panelists discuss how PSMA PET imaging is expected to evolve, enhancing precision in prostate cancer treatment through improved detection and staging. Medical professionals anticipate broader use in therapy guidance, with future advancements addressing gaps in early detection and metastasis, improving treatment strategies.

Panelists discuss how, Copper-64 (^64Cu)–labeled PSMA-targeted PET imaging is emerging as a promising modality in prostate cancer diagnosis. The phase 2 SOLAR study (NCT05653856) demonstrated that ^64Cu-PSMA I&T PET/CT effectively detects metastatic prostate cancer, meeting primary end points related to correct localization rates. Compared with gallium-68 (^68Ga) and fluorine-18 (^18F), ^64Cu offers a half-life of approximately 12.7 hours, facilitating centralized production and distribution, which may improve accessibility

A recommendation from an independent data monitoring committee prompted the discontinuation of the phase 3 CAPItello-280 trial.

Data show that patients who undergo grade group 1 prostatectomies may experience an increased likelihood of higher risk features.

BMI, serum albumin, and G8 screening tool scores were all factors correlated with the likelihood of experiencing a grade 3 or higher AE.

Toxicity complications were assessed between single- and multiple-treatment modalities for patients with localized prostate cancer.
