- Phill Koo joins Neal Shore to discuss radium 223 for treating men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Radium-223 has improved overall survival (OS) and reduced symptomatic skeletal events (SSE) in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) and bone metastases (ALSYMPCA trial). The survival benefit and the safety and tolerability profile of radium-223 we...

- Bertrand Tombal discusses the ongoing PEACE III trial evaluating enzalutamide alone versus enzalutamide plus radium-223 post the ERA-223 data. The interim safety analysis was presented at ASCO and the data demonstrated that there was an increase fracture rate with the addition of radium-223 to enzalutamide prior to mandating the use of bone protecting agents. Pathological and non-pathological frac...

- Kelvin Moses explores the clinical benefit of sipuleucel-T treatment in African American men with advanced prostate cancer in this conversation with Alicia Morgans. A large volume of evidence has demonstrated that African American men have an increased risk of developing mCRPC and have higher mortality as compared with Caucasian men. Sipuleucel-T has demonstrated a survival benefit in men with met...

- Alicia Morgans invites Tia Higano to discuss data analysis amongst patients with mCRPC who were enrolled in the Flatiron Health prostate cancer registry from 2013-2017. Findings include the discovery that 77% of patients receive some form of life-prolonging therapy and that only 60% of the patients ever received either denosumab or zoledronic acid. Alicia and Tia conclude by stating the importance...
