Combining Lutetium-PSMA with Hormonal Therapy Enhances Prostate Cancer Treatment - Louise Emmett

Details
Oliver Sartor speaks with Louise Emmett about combination therapy approaches with lutetium-PSMA in prostate cancer. The discussion explores various combination strategies, including promising results from the ENZA-p trial combining lutetium-PSMA with enzalutamide, which shows notable response rates in first-line mCRPC. They examine multiple potential combination approaches, including hormonal ther...

Epigenetic Profiling Identifies Biomarkers Predicting Resistance to AR-Targeted Therapy in mCRPC - Wilbert Zwart

Details
Wilbert Zwart joins Neeraj Agarwal to discuss research on epigenetic targeting in prostate cancer. The discussion examines histone markers in metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) patients to predict response to enzalutamide treatment. Using patient-derived xenografts and computational modeling, the research identifies HDAC3 as a key target and demonstrates synergistic effects wh...

INSPIRE Trial Investigates Immunotherapy for Molecularly Selected Advanced Prostate Cancer - Niven Mehra

Details
Neeraj Agarwal interviews Niven Mehra about the INSPIRE trial. The study examines the efficacy of nivolumab and ipilimumab combination therapy in molecularly selected patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). Dr. Mehra discusses the trial's design, which focuses on four subgroups: mismatch repair deficiency, high tumor mutational burden, CDK12 inactivation, and BRCA2 m...

Novel Epigenomic Liquid Biopsy Detects PSMA Expression in Prostate Cancer - Jacob Berchuck

Details
Oliver Sartor hosts Jake Berchuck to discuss a novel epigenomic liquid biopsy platform for determining PSMA expression in prostate cancer. Dr. Berchuck explains how the assay analyzes cell-free DNA to infer tumor PSMA expression, showing strong correlation with PSMA PET scan results. They explore the potential of this technology to provide real-time, non-invasive monitoring of tumor drug target ex...

First-in-Class AR Degrader Shows Promise in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer - Dana Rathkopf

Details
Oliver Sartor host Dana Rathkopf for a discussion on BMS-986365, a novel androgen receptor ligand-directed degrader for prostate cancer treatment. Dr. Rathkopf discusses the drug's unique dual mechanism of action, which both degrades and competitively inhibits the androgen receptor. She presents data from the phase I/II trial, highlighting the drug's efficacy, particularly in patients without prio...

TALAPRO-2 Analysis: Talazoparib Enzalutamide Combo in Pretreated mCRPC - Neeraj Agarwal

Details
Neeraj Agarwal discusses a post-hoc analysis of the TALAPRO-2 Phase III study, which evaluates the efficacy of talazoparib and enzalutamide in metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer patients with prior ARPI or docetaxel treatment. The analysis shows promising results for the combination therapy, particularly in patients with HRR-deficient tumors. Dr. Agarwal emphasizes the potential benefit...

Details
Oliver Sartor interviews Neeraj Agarwal about the CONTACT-02 trial, which compares cabozantinib plus atezolizumab to second ARPI in metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer patients. Dr. Agarwal presents the final overall survival results from the study, which shows improved progression-free survival with the combination therapy, particularly in patients with liver or bone metastasis. While o...

Exploring Actinium-225: Transforming Cancer Treatment with Targeted Radiopharmaceuticals - John Valliant

Details
Oliver Sartor interviews John Valliant about the potential of radiopharmaceuticals in cancer treatment. Dr. Valliant discusses the advantages of targeted radiation therapy, particularly using Actinium-225, highlighting its efficacy and potential for combination therapies. He emphasizes the unique ability of radiopharmaceuticals to combine imaging and treatment, allowing for better patient selectio...

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....
