- Alicia Morgans, Charles Ryan, and Neal Shore discuss the clinical evidence and considerations in treating prostate cancer progression as patients fail first-line treatment in the nmCRPC and advance to metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). They highlight the need to change the mechanism of action and the opportunities that each Sipuleucel-T, (Provenge®) an autologous cellular imm...

- Nick Vogelzang discusses a brief history of the advancements in treating prostate cancer. He provides background on how we have arrived at where we are now with the advances in both the diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer while talking with Alicia Morgans. Dr. Vogelzang reflects upon the time when we were relegated to using primitive bone scans to define disease to the current era of advanc...

- 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...

- Martin Felices discusses a unique approach to using natural killer (NK) cells to target a variety of cancers. NK cells seek out abnormal cells while also producing inflammatory cytokines that induce the adaptive immune response. There is a known role of NK cells in hematologic malignancies whereas in tumor micro environments the NK cells display characteristics of exhaustion and lack of maturation...

- Neal Shore and Oliver Sartor cover the topic of racial disparities in prostate cancer and the use of immunotherapy particularly sipuleucel-T in the African American community. Oliver does a deep dive into the double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial, Immunotherapy for Prostate Adenocarcinoma Treatment (IMPACT) study, involving 512 men with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer...

- Wassim Abida joins Charles Ryan in a discussion on a JAMA Oncology published paper on the Analysis of the Prevalence of Microsatellite Instability in Prostate Cancer and Response to Immune Checkpoint Blockade. Wassim details the prevalence of MSI-H/dMMR prostate cancer and the clinical benefit of anti–PD-1/programmed cell death 1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) therapy in this molecularly defined population. The...

- Richard Lee, a 2017 PCF Challenge Award recipient, discusses his research on the metabolics of prostate cancer. The upcoming Phase 1 research in men with CRPC is centered around inhibiting the glutaminase pathway in combination with a PARP inhibitor. The rationale for targeting the glutaminase pathway stems from the fact that cancer cells deplete glucose as a carbon source, a necessary element for...
