- Kevin Kelly discusses a groundbreaking approach to prostate cancer treatment with Alicia Morgans. He presents Xaluritamig (AMG 509) a novel bi-specific antibody targeting the STEAP1 protein, prevalent in prostate cancer cells. This innovative therapy, a form of biTE therapy, is designed to attract T-cells for targeted cytotoxicity. In a phase one trial involving advanced prostate cancer patients w...

- Zach Klaassen speaks with Dan George about a key study comparing Enzalutamide (Enza) and Abiraterone (Abi) in pre-chemotherapy metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). This study addresses a significant gap in head-to-head clinical trials for these drugs. Dr. George discusses various data sources, including the French National Database, Flatiron, and VA data, all indicating a survi...

- Alicia Morgans interviews Christos Kyriakopoulos about a study presented at ESMO on EPI-7386, also known as masofaniten. Dr. Kyriakopoulos elaborates on this phase one-two study, which explores the combination of EPI-7386 with enzalutamide in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. EPI-7386 is novel in targeting the androgen receptor's N-terminal domain, differing from other...

- The pivotal phase 3 VISION study used [68Ga]Ga-PSMA-11 (also known as 68Ga-PSMA-11) imaging to identify patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer eligible for [177Lu]Lu-PSMA-617 radioligand therapy, based on predefined read criteria. In this substudy of VISION, the inter-reader variability and intra-reader reproducibility of visual assessments of 68Ga-PSMA-11 positron emission...

- Phillip Koo and Daniel Saltzstein delve into the ECLIPSE clinical trial. The trial, aiming to enroll over 400 patients, brings Lutetium-177, a radioligand therapy, to patients with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer at an earlier stage than it's currently approved for. Dr. Saltzstein outlines the trial's inclusion criteria, notably patients with castrated testosterone, PSA progression,...

- Alicia Morgans interviews Soumyajit Roy regarding his work on the COU-AA-302 data set, published in European Urology. The study investigates the effects of definitive prostate treatments, such as radiation therapy or radical prostatectomy, on outcomes when patients with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) are treated with abiraterone. Dr. Roy explains his motivation for the study...
