- There is an urgency to develop therapies to treat prostate cancers resistant to chemohormonal and radiation therapies. Unfortunately, immune therapies have offered limited efficacy in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. At the 2020 European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) Annual Meeting, interim results from a phase 1 study of AMG 160, a targeted half-life extended,...

- PTEN-loss is relatively common in advanced prostate cancer and is associated with worse prognosis as well as reduced benefit from androgen-axis targeting agents. Ipatasertib is a novel oral anti-cancer agent, under investigation in prostate and breast cancers. Orally administered, it is designed to target three isoforms of AKT (protein kinase B), in order to block the PI3 Kinase/AKT signaling path...
