Progression Patterns by Types of Metastatic Spread, PSA, and Clinical Symptoms - Post-Hoc Analyses of ARAMIS - Alicia Morgans

Details
Neal Shore interviews Alicia Morgans about her poster presentation on the ARAMIS trial. The ARAMIS trial evaluated darolutamide in non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (nmCRPC) patients with rising PSA levels and no radiographic evidence of disease. The study found that the combination of ADT and darolutamide extended metastasis-free survival by about two years and increased overall...

Patients in the trial had progressive disease after receiving immunotherapy with the usual PD-1/PD-L1 antibodies. The primary endpoint was progression-free survival. Dr. Sadeghi describes the rationale for the trial design, why the trial...

A Novel Imaging Modality, FAP Imaging for Patients with Bladder Cancer - Vadim S. Koshkin

Details
Petros Grivas speaks with Vadim Koshkin about his groundbreaking research in urothelial cancer imaging. The focus is on Dr. Koshkin's abstract detailing the potential of Fibroblast-Associated Protein (FAP) imaging, a novel technique that targets cells present within the cancer, rather than the cancer cells themselves. The ongoing trial aims to enroll 80 patients with solid malignancies but shows p...
