PSA score at 24 weeks was the strongest predictor of survival, with a PSA concentration of 0.2 ng/mL or less predicting favorable outcomes in this group.

New developments revealed regulatory milestones for bacterial therapeutic candidates and potential efficacy with vaccine-based approaches.

Based on the clinical efficacy, ODAC members collectively voted to support the sNDA for capivasertib in this PTEN-deficient HSPC population.

Recently, conservative management has grown in popularity, especially among older patients and those with higher neighborhood-level socioeconomic status.

Most treatment-related adverse effects were grades 1 or 2, and no grade 4 adverse effects or treatment-related deaths were observed with Lu-PSMA-617.

Mina Fam, MD, explored the integration of multiparametric MRI and genomics in focal HIFU selection and compared its AE profile to radical intervention.

Investigators of a prospective validation study highlighted the potential of a urine-based assay to reduce surgical biopsies deemed unnecessary.

Management strategies for oxybutynin-induced xerostomia include hydration, sugar-free gum, and humidification.

The project will be focused on increasing awareness and early detection of the disease and generate high-quality data to inform improvement of care.

Rahul Aggarwal, MD, discussed the high unmet needs of neuroendocrine prostate cancer, highlighting biopsy triggers, genomic markers, and emerging targets.

The phase 3 TALAPRO-3 study met its primary end point, showing a clinically meaningful reduction in the risk of progression or death in HRR-mutant HSPC.

Benjamin Garmezy, MD, discussed the potential of a GSPT1 molecular glue degrader and a trispecific T-cell engager in treating select prostate cancers.

For patients with more aggressive disease, the addition of chemotherapy to the ARPI/ADT backbone may optimize efficacy outcomes without comprising safety.

Emergent phase 1 LuPARP study data suggest that metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer could be treated with PARP inhibition and radionuclides.

Twenty patients with low- to intermediate-risk localized prostate cancer underwent successful implantation with the antiandrogen-eluting implants.

By harnessing investigator-generated data, companion diagnostics, and biomarker-directed treatment selection, clinicians can optimize care for HSPC.

Bridget Koontz, MD, discussed evaluating the role of concurrent hormone therapy and brachytherapy for prostate cancer that she presented at ASCO GU.

Oncologists discussed key abstracts assessing AI models for treatment selection, AKT inhibition, and PARP inhibition in specific prostate cancer types.

The triplet regimen also improved health-related quality of life and pain compared with ADT plus ARPI alone in patients with metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.

CAR T-cell therapies and T-cell engagers may produce an “exciting” benefit on the radiosensitization of prostate tumors.

The phase 2 study aimed to compare the safety of pembrolizumab and radiation with or without olaparib in this high-risk population.

Despite differences in treatment tolerance across different RCC subgroups, survival outcomes were similar in a retrospective study.

Data from PEACE-2 may challenge the current definition of "very high-risk" localized prostate cancer without nodal disease involvement.

Results from the PEACE-3 trial found an extended OS after patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer were treated with enzalutamide/radium-223.

Data from the CAPItello-281 trial may support capivasertib/abiraterone as a first-in-class targeted therapy in this metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer population.
