Experts review current treatments for metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer, centering their discussion around a patient case.

Flotufolastat F 18 is indicated for use in imaging PSMA-positive prostate cancer lesions in patients who are likely to have metastatic disease and may be able to undergo initial definitive therapy, as well as those who may have recurrent disease.

The investigational antibody-drug conjugate ARX517 is currently under evaluation in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer as part of the phase 1/2 APEX-01 trial.

18F-rhPSMA-7.3 was approved by the FDA for the detection of PSMA-positive lesions during PET/CT imaging in prostate cancer.

Greater age may be an additional risk factor for fatigue among patients with prostate cancer receiving second generation antiandrogen agents, according to a recent systematic review.

Alicia K. Morgans, MD, MPH, from Dana-Farber Cancer Institute indicates that patients with non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer are able to stay on treatment for long periods of time with darolutamide vs enzalutamide and apalutamide.

Patients with HRR-mutant metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer can now receive treatment with talazoparib and enzalutamide following the regimen’s approval by the FDA.

Talazoparib plus enzalutamide appears to improve the objective response rate vs enzalutamide plus placebo among patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer harboring homologous recombination repair mutations in the phase 3 TALAPRO-2 study.

Germline and somatic BRCA1/2 alterations correlate with worse survival in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer in the CAPTURE trial.

According to an expert from Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center, radium-223 shows positive efficacy and safety findings for patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

A recent phase 3 trial of the combination included a total of 398 patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer, unselected for homologous recombination repair gene alterations, in the safety cohort.

The treatment discontinuation rate was 30.4% for darolutamide, 40.8% for enzalutamide, and 46.0% for apalutamide among patients with nonmetastatic prostate cancer, according to a recent analysis.

Andrew J. Armstrong, MD, MSc, spoke about the recent approval of olaparib plus abiraterone acetate and prednisone in patients with BRCA-mutant metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Patients with BRCA-mutated metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer can now receive treatment with olaparib plus abiraterone/prednisone or prednisolone following the combination’s approval by the FDA.

Fifteen-year follow-up data suggest the importance of considering the trade-offs between risks and benefits of active monitoring, prostatectomy, and radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer.

18F-rhPSMA-7.3 injection is now available to help identify PSMA-positive lesions during PET imaging for patients with metastatic or recurrent prostate cancer.

Synchronous disease appears to have a more hormone dependent transcriptional profile than metachronous disease, according to a retrospective review of patients with metastatic castration-sensitive prostate cancer.

Expert panelists consider the possibility of taking a break from treatment given a patient’s response to therapy along with other unique management strategies in the setting of metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.
