- 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...

- 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...

- 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...

- 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...

- 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...

- 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...

- 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....
