ctDNA Assay Detects AR Enhancer Alterations Linked to Poor Survival - Russell Pachynski, Aadel Chaudhuri & Christopher Maher

Details
Oliver Sartor speaks with Russ Pachynski, Chris Maher, and Aadel Chaudhuri about their novel biomarker study in advanced prostate cancer. The discussion centers on their development of a cell-free DNA assay that examines both AR gene and enhancer alterations in mCRPC patients, showing significant prognostic value for treatment outcomes. Dr. Chaudhuri presents their discovery of a stemness signatur...

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...

Highlights in Prostate Cancer Treatment Advances from ESMO 2024 - Ursula Vogl

Details
Ursula Vogl discusses key prostate cancer highlights from ESMO 2024. The conversation explores three major trials across different disease stages: the PATCH trial evaluating transdermal estradiol versus LHRH analogs in non-metastatic disease, the ARANOTE trial examining darolutamide in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer, and the PEACE-3 trial investigating radium-223 plus enzalutamide in...

Radium-223 Plus Enzalutamide Improves Survival in mCRPC: PEACE-3 Trial Results, Journal Club - Rashid Sayyid & Zachary Klaassen

Details
Rashid Sayyid and Zachary Klaassen discuss the resurgence of radium-223 in treating metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), focusing on the PEACE-3 trial results. The conversation begins with an overview of radium-223's mechanism as a targeted alpha emitter and its historical efficacy in the ALSYMPCA trial, before exploring its underutilization despite FDA approval. The discussion...

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...

ARROW Study Reveals Iodine-131 PSMA Efficacy in Advanced Cancer - Evan Yu

Details
Evan Yu joins Zachary Klaassen to discuss the results of the ARROW trial. The study evaluates Iodine-131-LNTH-1095, a novel PSMA radioligand therapy, in combination with enzalutamide versus enzalutamide alone for metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer patients who previously received abiraterone. While the trial meets its primary endpoint with significantly higher PSA decline rates in the...

AR Pathway Inhibitors vs Taxanes in mCRPC ProBio Trial - Bram De Laere

Details
Bram De Laere discusses the ProBio trial, a platform study for metastatic prostate cancer. Dr. De Laere explains the trial's unique design, which uses circulating tumor DNA analysis to guide treatment decisions and evaluate multiple biomarker-therapy combinations simultaneously. The study demonstrates that AR pathway inhibitors generally outperform taxane-based chemotherapy in mCRPC patients, with...

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...

STEAP1-Targeted T-Cell Engager Demonstrates Efficacy in mCRPC Patients - William Kevin Kelly
