SPLASH Trial Highlights Radiopharmaceutical Lutetium-177’s Role in Advanced Prostate Cancer Treatment - Oliver Sartor

Details
Oliver Sartor discusses the SPLASH trial results, evaluating Lutetium-177-PNT2002 in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients who progressed on ARPI therapy. The study shows significant improvement in radiographic progression-free survival for Lutetium-177-PNT2002 compared to alternate ARPI therapy, with a hazard ratio of 0.71. Dr. Sartor highlights the favorable safety profile and...

STORM Trial Examines Elective Nodal Radiotherapy in Treating Prostate Cancer Recurrence - Piet Ost

Details
Piet Ost discusses the STORM trial, a randomized study comparing stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) with elective nodal radiotherapy (ENRT) in oligometastatic prostate cancer patients. The trial, involving 80% PSMA-PET scanned patients, includes six months of androgen deprivation therapy in both arms. Results show significant benefits for ENRT in biochemical recurrence-free survival and locoreg...

Overcoming Hormone Resistance: ARV-766 in Advanced Prostate Cancer - Daniel Petrylak

Details
David Crawford discusses with Daniel Petrylak a new approach to treating advanced prostate cancer using a PROTAC agent called ARV-766. Dr. Petrylak explains that PROTACs accelerate the body's natural protein disposal process, targeting the androgen receptor. The phase I/II study of ARV-766 shows promising results in patients with ligand-binding domain mutations, which occur in about 25% of cases....

Antibody Drug Conjugate FOR46: Targeting CD46 in mCRPC in Phase 1b Trial - Nonna Shakhnazaryan

Details
Nonna Shakhnazaryan discusses a phase 1b dose escalation study of FOR46, a novel antibody-drug conjugate targeting CD46, in combination with enzalutamide for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. The study establishes the maximally tolerated dose and shows promising results, with 71% of patients experiencing PSA declines, including some who previously progressed on enzalutamide. The med...

PSMA PET in Prostate Cancer: Balancing Sensitivity and Clinical Relevance - Ravi Madan

Details
Oliver Sartor discusses with Ravi Madan the implications of using PSMA PET scans in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. Dr. Madan highlights concerns about prematurely changing treatments based on PSMA PET findings without established criteria for progression. He emphasizes the distinction between radiological progression and treatment failure, noting the lack of validated parameters...

Extracellular Vesicles in Prostate Cancer: Multi-Omic Liquid Biopsy - Irene Casanova-Salas & Joaquin Mateo

Details
Andrea Miyahira discusses with Irene Casanova-Salas and Joaquin Mateo a Cancer Cell publication on using circulating tumor extracellular vesicles (EVs) to monitor metastatic prostate cancer evolution. The researchers describe their novel method for analyzing both DNA and RNA from EVs in patient plasma samples. They highlight the advantages of EV analysis over traditional ctDNA, including the abili...
