Bladder Cancer Breakthroughs in SunRISe-1, AMBASSADOR, and VOLGA Trials - Maria De Santis

Details
Alicia Morgans interviews Maria De Santis about three studies: the SunRISe-1 trial for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer, the AMBASSADOR study on adjuvant pembrolizumab for muscle-invasive urothelial carcinoma, and the VOLGA trial exploring ctDNA clearance as a biomarker. Dr. De Santis highlights the promising results of TAR-200, a novel gemcitabine intravesical system, which shows high complete...

Tumor Suppressor Gene Signature Predicts Early Progression in mHSPC - Marta Garcia de Herreros

Details
Neeraj Agarwal interviews Marta Garcia de Herreros about presentation on tumor suppressor gene (TSG) signatures in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer (mHSPC). Dr. Garcia de Herreros discusses the TSG-low signature, based on low expression of RB1, PTEN, and TP53 genes, which predicts early progression to castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) and the development of aggressive variant...

CaboPoint Trial: Cabozantinib in Second-Line RCC Treatment - Laurence Albiges

Details
Zachary Klaassen interviews Laurence Albiges about the CaboPoint Phase II Trial. Dr. Albiges discusses the evolving landscape of second-line treatment for clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) after first-line immunotherapy combinations. The CaboPoint study evaluates cabozantinib as a pure second-line treatment in patients who have failed either nivolumab-ipilimumab or an IO-TKI strategy. Results...

EMBARK Trial: Age-Stratified Analysis of Enzalutamide in High-Risk Biochemically Recurrent Prostate Cancer - Neal Shore

Details
Zach Klaassen interviews Neal Shore about the EMBARK trial's post hoc analysis by age. The study examines the efficacy of enzalutamide alone or combined with leuprolide for high-risk biochemical recurrence in prostate cancer patients. Dr. Shore discusses the trial design, key results, and the implications of age stratification ( 70 years) on treatment outcomes and adverse events. The analysis show...

ZZ-FIRST Trial Demonstrates High PSA Response with Combination Therapy - Joaquin Mateo

Details
Zach Klaassen interviews Joaquín Mateo about the ZZ-FIRST trial, which explores the combination of enzalutamide and talazoparib in metastatic hormone-naive prostate cancer. Dr. Mateo discusses the trial design, preliminary results, and the rationale behind combining AR-targeting agents with PARP inhibitors. The study shows promising results in terms of PSA complete response and early indications o...

Medicare Part D Changes Reduce Out-of-Pocket Costs for Prostate Cancer Patients - David Morris

Details
Ruchika Talwar interviews David Morris about changes to Medicare Part D resulting from the Inflation Reduction Act. Dr. Morris discusses how these changes benefit prostate cancer patients and other Medicare recipients by reducing out-of-pocket expenses for prescription drugs. Key points include the introduction of a $2,000 annual out-of-pocket maximum cap, the option for cost smoothing to spread p...
